I don't usually like zoo videos, they mostly just leave me wishing the animals were in the wild, but these lions seem happy and well cared for. Great narration too.
Wildernesses are shrinking rapidly and animal populations are dropping. Zoos and wildlife sanctuaries are NECESSARY to preserve many of these animals.
yup and some are rescue animals where they can't be back in the wild
I used to feel that way but with extinction a real threat to many species zoos provide a safety net of population of these animals. If an animal does become extinct in the wild it allows the chance to create a new population.

"So now he has two girls to "look after" "😂😂
I vzery much appreciate this young commentator'sg delivery. He is gentle and respectful in how he narrates the love triangle of the lions. A very nice voice and way of narrating.
Male lions usually have 2 or more females so I don’t understand why everyone was worried about the girls not getting along
They're assigning human behavior and emotions to animals like this is a Disney movie.
@@Ben-Ken No, actually, animals that live in packs can get “jealous” that one member is getting more attention and then it can cause aggression leading the envious one to lash out.
@@CatEarsAndChaos_ Yeah but it's pretty normal for lions to mate with multiple partners. They rarely keep to one partner like humans do...
@@CatEarsAndChaos_ animal males not just lions mate with different females at the same time, it's normal in nature, a male lion does not share his females and he will kill cubs that isn't his own and that goes for every male animal
@@MrTripleXXXHumans are not considered monogamous animals bc we move on from a partner if we don’t get along with them. Truly monogamous animals don’t leave their partner unless they die.
So cute, what beautiful animals!
Lmao, it's like a soap opera in the lion world.
I love them . Absolutely amazing creatures
Thank you for posting as very nice video and can see they are well taken care of
They're not sharing a "boyfriend". They're animals. 😂.
haha just for drama I guess :)
@@RageOfTheTiger the insinuation of an animal love triangle tickled me. It's the same type of thing my 20 yr old would say. It's comical to me how they think. Lol
@@jenniferw3953 lol I'm not sure why they say it. I don't think they really believe it, I think its just said for fun. I would say they are insinuating they are ok with sharing him though.
Not all of us!! How Dare You 😂😂
lol he looks like hes about to pass out. give him some break haha
Praying for Cubs! 🙏🙏🙏
Errata- lions don’t have “monthly cycles”. Like the vast majority of mammals, they experience ovulation as part of an oestrus cycle.
Nice love this story
Thank you
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I love ALL animals but I am so fascinated about lions and elephants. What a beautiful story. Lucky boy ... 😊
I know everyone says that keeping captive animals is important for the survival of the species.. but it makes me wonder what were saving them for.. they don't get to live wild like they r meant to. They could all be gone in the wild, and only exist in captivity, but is that what's best for them. They r not meant to b held in cages.. and if we really cared so much abt their survival, why do we keep stealing their land and making them go extinct..?? 🤷♀️. . Just nite time thoughts...
Sooooo cute
Them lions are in LOve
3:15 'They are not going to be around for longer' Indian gov laughing after successfully saving indian lion from extinction with numbers 674 in wild and 100+ in captivity from mere 12 lions.
That inbreeding though...The Indian government would have been better off prosecuting poachers and protecting their natural habitat.
@@dadevi ye inbreeding sucks but every species of animal started off with inbreeding. As a breeder you wanna avoid inbreeding as much as possible, but the pros of it definitely outweigh the cons when youre talking about saving a species.
That's good news. I hope their efforts bear lots of cubs. I'd like to travel to India someday to see an Asiatic lion up close.
Where are your lions? Why did you killed yours?@@dadevi
@@dadeviwhere are your lions btw? You continue to blame others but look at you.
Beautiful they need exercise
Jai sriram thank you so much
Good.
I hope they do like cubs hopefully there cubs be free
Lion courtship is so fascinating. Naming the shy lion Kiburi is ironic though.. It's the Kiswahili word for arrogance. And Iblis( Ibilisi) is the Kiswahili word for the devil 😊.
Funny naming lions from India with non Indian names . It's not that difficult. Unless Kiburi and Ibs are African.
Very fitting names for lions, though
*I would not like to share my boyfriend lol*
Confío que pronto puedan tener un apareamiento exitoso! 😍😍😍
I hope so!
This asiatic lion looks like African lion really impressive
That's because it is a male African lion
@@joedennehy386 it is asiatic lion
i think the modern day asiatic wild lion looks less impressive because it lives amongst densely populated humans with less food. And the food it does get is often cows and domestic animals so it doesnt have to workout as hard on a regular basis for hunting
saw a video of african lions living in marshy areas and they pack 120lbs more muscle because they have to walk through that terrain and the buffalo that live there are bigger because the grass is richer
They got quite a personality .
Top G
Smashing never stops at Chester Zoo
Are we sure that male lion is an Asiatic one? He looks awfully more like an African lion.
It is
yes because you know better than the people who have been doing this for years :p
I thought the same. Asiatic lion does have less dense Mane.
He is really being an iblies b/w them😅😅
so what was the dangerous turn?
Iblis looks a bit like a North African lion.
I have a love hate relationship with zoos.
The North African lion is the meanest looking of them all. Barbary lion
2:45 the third wheel gets a bucketfull of ice cream
Hope they have health cubs
I thought that male was an african lion because of its big mane which asiatic lions don't have. But maybe he gets a big mane because it's not so hot and he is taking well cared for
No there are 600 asiatic lions in the wild and their population is constantly growing, there are so many that they go into towns and kill livestock but the poeple are very respectful towards the lions and idolise them.
"Dangerous turn"? When?
Where is the dangerous turn?
Makes sense why Iblis would be more aggressive when it comes to food. In the wild, male lions eat their share first, and then the females and their cubs eat after him.
So they have a male lion named Iblis. They should bring in another male lion and name him Mephiles.
I hope they have cubs!!!!
Did anybody notice the commentators facial hair changed between clips lol
we film this over a couple of weeks. it takes ages to get the animal videos sometimes, so the filming process is usually longer than people think
Good video…VERY MISLEADING TITLE.
did you just name the male lion devil
Title is a bit misleading
There are 674 asiatic lions india ( once 12 during colonial rule).one of the biggest sucess story.
Iblis is a arabic word for demon or you you can say lucifer the fallen angel and its pefectly match with that lion , who got two ladies who are sisters omg😂😂
Why give her birth control if you want her to have cubs
She had health issues that I'm guessing would make it dangerous for her to have a pregnancy or medications she needed at the time would have been dangerous to potential cubs in the womb.
@@esstoria8590 thank you i had to watch it again and you are correct thank you
@@esstoria8590 thank you i had to watch it again and you are correct thank you
So the one that can't bear cubs is an emotional eater?
People who have no clue in Gujarat India, where asiatic lions are found, we humans live with them. We Indians blame the colonial era for hunting and poaching that led to depopulation. Our government is doing best and like Tigers and leopards, we hope to see more and more lions. Have you fed wild lions? Come to Gir and see crazy villagers tossing chickens at lions. The lions enter village go to the water tank, drink from there and leave without killing anyone. Like I said we live with lions. There have been incidents of attacks when humans invade their home but otherwise we r pretty safe.
They need more toys or workout there stomach skin is droopy needs a good game
Not me waiting for the dangerous turn 🙄
Iblis!!! (If you know you know)
IBLIS means "Satan"
What-
@@daktauwu6057 it's true. Satan was called IBLIS
They didn't look like Asiatic lions 😒
If the one sister can’t reproduce with the male, why is Kiburi fitted with birth control? Makes no sense.
Because she used to have health issues at the time of the birth control being implanted that would have made it dangerous for her to have cubs back when they gave it to her. But years later she's healthy enough to have cubs. I don't know what health issues she had before though, but if it risked her life they weren't going to let her have cubs because they may have well lost her and any cubs she may have carried probably would not have survived anyway. I wish they gave more details though... what was the health issue?
Hahahaha iblis
Human girls need watch and learn from this
why
in Islam Iblis is the name of satan 😅
Ridiculous using contraception on a critically endangered species!!! What were they thinking! All those years lost for breeding! Humans are the worst!! 🤬🤬
There was something wrong with her! That's why they did it. But they said now she was healthy enough to get it removed. You don't know what goes on in the zoo you shouldn't judge them like that
eat, sleep and have sex. what else does one desire?
Human sisters could learn from Lions
Men should mate like a lion, one male, multiple females.
You know they do that in third world countries right? Guys there usually have more than one wife.
They do all the time. Men don't care if they are married or have a girlfriend.
@@MrTripleXXX good for them
@@julesPal100 as long he is taking care of his women I see no harm in polygamy for a man
@@sairen5121 in a pride they are usually 3-4 male lions ( siblings ) and they share the females. If you want to mate like a lion, then share your wife with your brothers and friends 🤣
It's very heartbreaking to hear when human's do thing's to the wild animal's that they wouldn't have done in the wild. 🥺 stopping her cycle like a human? Yuck.. she's a lion, she's wild and needs to be out in the wild not a zoo or a pet..
Unforuntately with the loss of habitat what else are they supposed to do? They're trying to preserve the species. As for why they stopped the lionesses cycle? Because she used to have health issues at the time of the birth control being implanted that would have made it dangerous for her to have cubs back when they gave it to her. But years later she's healthy enough to have cubs. I don't know what health issues she had before though, but if it risked her life they weren't going to let her have cubs because they may have well lost her and any cubs she may have carried probably would not have survived anyway. I wish they gave more details though... what was the health issue? Which means she would have died in the wild simply from being pregnant/giving birth I guesstimate. I just wish they would say what the health issue was. Before being angry at zoo's (at least the ones that act more like sanctuaries) be angry at the land developers taking away habitat and at the poachers killing off these wild animals. At least in zoos/sanctuaries (depending on their structure) they're safe though obviously not in all of them. Take Yellowstone park for example which tries to preserve wolves... its still the wild but also a park. No hunting allowed there but this past year due to wolves being taken off the endangered list or at least allowing hunting of them in those states... the wolf packs and pups were baited with food outside the park so that hunters could shoot and kill them. So until hunting/poaching/land development are halted the survival of a species heavily unfortunately relies on zoos and sanctuaries. Where else are they going to go where their species wont be hunted to extinction? I just hope said zoos and sacntuaries are scrutinized and not abusive toward the animals in their care.
I really feel like at this point that people don't care about animals possibly being in safe hands in either Zoo's, or Sanctuaries. No matter how well an animal is taken care of in these videos there will be someone that believes an animal possibly facing poachers for the sake of being "wild and free" is much better. Then, when they suddenly die off, it is OUR FAULT for not stepping in. There's no win-win..tired of these damn comments..
They said they did it for health reasons.
First you should definitely change that lion’s name. Iblis is the name of Satan. Not kidding😑
Jai sriram thank you so much
