That wasn't a hoe lion it looks like she never even did it one time
I just want to point out the respect he had to not smash another lions lioness.
Yeah
yeah but that lioness belong to the streets
Its because ol buddy just pulled in the driveway. He ran out the back door lol
yh that but wasn't respect it was fear
The lioness tried to cheat. Lol
Narrator: “He’s never seen that tree before.” “Lion: “Gee, I’ve never seen THAT tree before.”

I read that with thomas the tank engine voice
HAH. That's so Disney-esque

The way these brother lions reunited by hugging each other was so sweet. Animals can be more family oriented than humans.
How’s that more family oriented than humans? Plenty of brother hug just the same.
bro which human family r u livin' in
@@aaryan3749🤣🤣🤣honestly
Humans are animals.
@@m.williams4971estranged humans can go years without contacting family!
Can we take a moment to appreciate how difficult it was to film 3 lions in a grassland jungle, and in the night, without being scented or seen? Wow! Superb footage. Fantastic.
Can’t believe this is clip was flam 9 years ago. Sooo definitely 9 years ago where quite different then 2024
go on
They have a camera hanging on each tree in the jungle
"BROOOO" "brother..?" "BROO!!" "Bruh were you been?" "listen here dude... crazy things"

And the hair nuzzle
“Close your eyes bro” “Okay bro” “What do you see bro?” “Nothing bro” “That’s my world without you bro” “Broooooo”
bruh😂😂😂
That gives my heart the happy.
Really unoriginal
@@MuhammadAwais-fp3lr your name is Muhammad, the most common name in the world.. very basic and unoriginal
brucie sanchez a name is a name. Having an unoriginal name is fine I mean nobody complains about a guy call John or something cus it is normal but you see plenty of people complaining about unoriginal comments because there is no humour in them and it just takes credit of the original source. Having an unoriginal name is minor but making unoriginal comments like this is just dead and annoying
she: sorry, I have a boyfriend He: I have a brother
haha!!
@Kansas Jayhawks your life is cringe
@Kansas Jayhawks don't care
Bros before Hoes
He heard the strange lion and decided it was time to move on quickly...anywhere but here! Oh-oh! I'm lost...help, brother!
"We'd always be together...right?" what a beautiful relationship they have.
With them together they will have arguably one of the most strongest coalitions in pride
Mufasa and Scar in an alternative universe..
The Way They Reacted When Reunited Was Such a Tearjerker
That was amazing
And this is why animal emotions are so beautiful. No double meanings or hidden agenda. They are pure.
Thom Ebbing as far as you can know anyway, rt?
Alex Barnes they only have huts in Africa to this day
Human emotions too, we can just lie
U haven't seen the lion king
I take it you don't have much interaction with animals. Pets alone display enough deceit for this statement to be false.
If only mufasa and scar coulda been like that 😫😪
Rachel Vasquez omg 🥺 this reminds me of simba and mufasa
Honestly though
Right😭
But then the lioness would’ve been sarabi, mufasas Queen. Simba wouldn’t been born.
Then there would be no Lion King movie and you would not know if mufasa and scar existed, duhhhhhhh
I really love that moment It shows a different side to lions. They’re not just predators, they are a family oriented group 😊
Yes
Brothers hugging each other after they meet, lions r most social animals
most social cats. there are other other animals, some of them more social than lions. in the African savanna e.g. the elephant
I love how he rubs his brother's hair like "you knucklehead....I've been lookin all over for you"
"You idiot, what are you doing way out here?" And the other lion just lays down next to him because he's so relieved that his big brother has come 😊
Hahaha
Right? 😂😂😂😂😂
Cameron Ray yes ❤
@@T.Y.L.E.R_777 you know thats their instinct and just nature doing its own thing right?
Antelope: "That's awesome you two found each other. Maybe I can find my brother." Lion: "Thanks, but we ate him."
Well guess they should be glad neither met a honey badger
What an underrated amazing comment.
HAHAHA IM DEAD
😂😂😂😂
That was funny! You made me laugh.
When they met up Tao's happiness made me want to cry.
I was in tears....
It made me cry
3:38 Probably the sweetest bro hug I've ever seen, wonderful
Wow he straight up bear hugged him to the ground. That was cute
ikrrr
3:42 ..he was all like "Come here boiii"
So sweet ....
Lions in wild are smaller than lions in Captivity actually
Lion hugged
My question is who was hiding in the bush & following him around at night?
That's a good question.
Some white guy
It's all show
@@blakemckee3196 That's normal for them
Time stamp?
That pride male's roar at 1:26 is one of the most ferocious sounds I have ever heard.
Bro . . . He could have been MILES away from that location. Can't even imagine hearing that live.
@@XandoFootball scary😷
Sound like King Kong
What about 1:02?
HUUUUGE from the soul. I would've ran too
This is my favorite video, I’m 55 years old, and my brother was the most EVIL a brother could have been extremely envious & jealous to the Enth Degree. So whenever I see brothers being, so lovable & natural it makes me feel awesome, my brother was 4 years older & so dysfunctional & demonic yet 100% narcissistic, I saw him in 1983 when he left & I didn’t see him again until my mother passed in 2013, then 2015 when our father passed, but we didn’t even recognize each other or even greet each other, he’s worse now than he’s ever been. However these two are so perfect & natural.
Sorry to hear that. 😔
My mom also died in 2013
Shaarubo Qalaf Thanks, my friend
Afakh Patel So sorry for your loss, my mother taught until she was 82, she was a full professor for more than 50 years w/ 2 PhD’s. She lived with me for 12 years, I took care of her for the last 12 years of her life, however my stepfather, half brother & half sister drained her economically & spiritually.
Afakh Patel Sorry for your loss , I wish you lots of luck & happiness with your life , God Bless you & your family, sir.

wow so deep
3 minutes and 50 seconds of Lion lost and trying to find his brother. Then when he finally finds his brother, video only last 8 seconds
yeah ikr need more duration 😂
That's called tension arc.
Thanks i fastforwarded
it shows story line and how the lion got lost. Its more interesting to know how the story began and ended.
@@shirleyzhang2997 @Mei Tensai Yall Never Watched The Documentary Of "TAO ND BANDA" Nd How Their Story Begins !? Mann It's 1 Of My Favorite Documentaries 4real💪🏼💯
3:37 it gives goosebumps that these animals express their feelings more naturally and emotional than us humans.
Cant believe those ferocious beasts just hugged each other. Got even me emotional
When you approach a girl then find out she got a boyfriend.
Nujac Ordep then you realize all you need is your bro
Not a bf. A CEO mafia boss husband who would sooner gut you himself than let you breathe her air.
I just found out my crush is married 😓😓😓
I don’t care if a girl has a bf or not
Has a boyfriend
I never thought i would see a lion be anxious that made me so sad I’m glad he found his bro

yes omg!!
He couldn't sleep without his brother cuz he was scared of dieng. Lol

Cause you have nothing else to do
Because they're scary beasts
Better than costly infomercials.

what the? LOL!
It was breaking my heart watching him search for his brother. So glad they found one another again.

Me 6 years
Atleast u guys still have a chance to see your brother,mine's been dead since 2007 so í don't get that chance again on earth.😢😢
Listen to dallas cowboys message
How you allow that to happen?
Their roar can be heard up to five miles away?! That's pretty amazing, that they can communicate over such long distances, kind of like whales do. No need to use a cell phone.
I can barely hear my Mother from downstairs when she yells dinner is prepared and time to eat.
And no one dares to attack them if they hear them at distance, with the possible exception of a band of douche hyenas, if the lion is alone. If I stay in the middle of the savanna at night and keep yelling, at last some hungry beast would come to tell me that the volume is a bit too high for the hour.
Cătălin Bordea i’m sure you know this but Lions stay in packs/prides.. they’d lose to just handful of other animals if they didnt.
@@trunks4139 Not all of them have prides. Males are often alone. Even if they're in a pride they are often patrolling their territory.
If your only message is "Hello! I'm here!" Don't really need a cell phone for that.
This honestly has a lot more emotion than the actual CGI Lion King Remake would ever have.
Technically this is no different from the live action Lion King. You're basically comparing the remake to the animated movie, ad the reality is, even though lions are not as facially expressive than we are, they STILL have emotion, they just have more ways of expressing their emotions, primarily by body language. So by saying this has more emotion is hypocrisy at its worst. This technically shows that animals have as much emotion as in animated cartoons and CGI films.
Clearly you don't know anything. This is basically the same thing as the lion king remake. Learn about animal emotions before you slander the lion king movie.
I am appreciating the defending of The Lion King so much! I love that movie so I get tired of seeing so much hate for it
EremikaHaven mee too
Knowing the life of lions, a brother will call out for his dead brother every day for months after . . ..
*Banda* : What's up bro, did you get with that chick.. what's her name? The one who's always fighting with Mufasa.. *Tao* : Yo..I was gettin' ready she was creepin' and then I hear her man so I ducked out quick. Got lost man.. *Banda* :Hah, it's cool you're my brother I got ya back!

Yeah its awesome
I’m so fascinated by brotherly bonds/coalitions amongst lions, it’s so interesting to witness, makes it seem like the bond between some human siblings

The feeling of being reunited with a sibling is amazing
So true

My dad and my brother are my best friends. Don't know what I'd do without them. That was a great video. Cheered me up
Phillip Richardson same because all I have is a brother
Me too 😢😢😢😂😂😂
Is this me overinterpreting or a lion king refenrence?
same
That was so adorable how they hugged eachother!
it was
Ha, gheeey
It's so cool how they have a bond. They feel like we feel. He was calling and when there was no reply he became wary and then sad. Then when he finally got the reply he was looking for he was relieved and full of joy.
I could spend all day looking at those brothers rolling and hugging
3:40 "where you been mate? I have been looking all over for you" " i am so glad you found me....lets go home" "what did you doooooo????" "ok i may have almost stole someone elses girl" "WE TALKED ABOUT THIS!!!"

Male lions really do feel love for one another. They bond for life and will die protecting each other
Damn these lions sound like chewbacca

Lions have such a human character...they have emotions and express them too in ways that are so relatable to us humans....They are more than just big cats!
This is probably how Mufasa wishes his and Scar's relationships were like
smurvin yeah agree

Too soon

It saddens me when the lions roar because they are lost or separated from their coalition. And then when reunited it is such a beautiful sight. Lions are such magnificent animals.
Debra Bolton lions dont always roar because they are lost. They roar before hunting, and mostly to show their power. I was in Botswana and two of them where under my tent, roaring
It’s also used to establish territories
You wont say magnificent when you're on the menu lol
@@statemilitary1222 lol
Don't know what it is, but this made me get something in my 49 year old eyes. Not cryin'! Scouts honor! Just finished cutting up a dozen onions.
Family means everything even to Lions. So beautiful to see the brothers reunited.
How can anyone watch this or really most animal shows and say they don't feel, love, happiness, sadness, pain, fear, etc?
Those are Basic Instincts and emotions they say even plants feel fear. So what? Don't make more out of it than it is.
+scarletfluerr Lol who is making more out of anything...? All s/he said was that animals can feel emotions.
@Hillary Sanderson how can we even really know that?
They do feel but human priority comes first. But it would be bad for humans too if they are lost forever.
i know!!! preach it
That is truly touching. I often see lionesses, and cubs, rubbing noses and licking, but to see these two full grown males hug and roll around makes my heart full. SAVE THE LIONS!

This characteristic of lions that they know who their family is, remarkable.

That pride male is the female lion's boyfriend right??? Or tau??
@@gldah4983 Yeah,the "boyfriend"
You do NOT want to meet that guy!!
Well said! I've been watching lots of Lion and Tiger videos, and I've been more impressed with the tiger's roar (up close). But oh boy, hearing that lion sound from a DISTANCE is actually VERY intimidating and now I see why lions do it that way 😨
Do you hear that low frequency threatening sound (like a bass)? That sound is used a lot when a scene is frightening, and used to instil fear deep within subconsciously, in lots of horror movies.
