MalaMala Safari Moments: Episode 135.
The Ndzenga males, the Northern Avoca males and a Kambula lioness.
...
From MalaMala Game Reserve to wherever you are in the world, we'll bring you moments from our daily safaris in one of Africa's most iconic private game reserves. This is essentially a continuation of our 'Rangers in Isolation' series which was filmed during the national Lockdown.
Darkmane ❤
❤❤❤💕
Love that Dark Mane came in to help Blondie and Mohawk. Love the Avocas .
Kimberly Trent. Ur words are so soothing.
That's so great to hear that Dark Mane came in to help his brothers. Brothers in Blood. Love the Avocas, but.really glad neither coalition got badly injured this time. Great video. Big thanks to all the Rangers and staff.
Great footage, thank you. Fantastic to hear Dark Mane was coming in for his brothers too..... They are all magnificent lions, each and every one has his place but my heart is with the Acoca boys. Hoping for no serious injuries to any of them. Very much appreciated MalaMala, thank you.
pm 💘💖
More Proof That King Dark Mane Is A True King! So much drama unfolding in the wild. It was great to get to see the drama as it unfolds. I love King Dark Mane, Blondie, Mohawk and their prides and the fact that he came roarrrring in to cause these big boys to scatter in order to help his bros is more proof of him being a true King. King Dark Mane is very smart and he knows when to retreat. I'm very happy that one intruder is limping vs my N. Avocas and I'm glad that the intruder didn't sustain deadly or more serious injuries. I would have loved to see the King run in roarrring to defend his brothers, territory and pride, that would be a priceless sighting.These are very interesting times in the MalaMala and having this strong, cunning lioness as a player in the game is great for the N. Avocas, she can take out one intruder by herself. I'm hoping that the N. Avocas can handle this situation without serious injury on either side. It would be awesome if they could go to get the Southern Avocas to join forces with them, now that would be priceless.This great and fantastic footage of this dilemma is outstanding and great coverage. This was an amazing video to end my evening with and I'm looking forward to the continuation of this Saga. These boys are big and beautiful and looking quite powerful. MalaMala Did It Again!
Absolutely well said. And yes, the lioness was superbly cunning and yes, she could take one out by herself! These girls are a smart, ruthless girl gang and are powerful!!! Wow.
Good to know Dark Mane is helping his brothers hopefully the 3 Avocas will hold onto their territory.
Why wouldn't dark mane help his brothers? Why do people act surprised by this since lion brothers are so close and the bond so tight? Is did DM leave to start his own pride?
@@rsb512 yes dm has his own pride talamatis for years but last year he came south to checked his bros but mowhak got agressive.
One of the most beautiful and mesmerizing things about dominant , adult male lions is the fire in their eyes that visibly burns through in the way they stare and survey their environment...the burning stare of lions that comes from deep inside where their fearless, warrior spirit resides. A particular ranger said one of the hardest things to witness after years of tracking and witnessing the lives of these animals was to see a dominant lion defeated by rivals and the subsequent replacement of his burning stare replaced with an obvious look of sorrow and loss of purpose now that the territory and pride(s) he'd risked so much for and beaten the odds to control had been taken from him in an instant. Such is nature, however, now that it's something I've looked for specifically since hearing that...it's amazing to see the difference in the eyes of a dominant lion compared to one whose morale has been decimated, especially in an animal so strong as majestic as a lion.
very true , great comment
What I like most about a lion is his attitude and goes down swinging to the end.
too much stank dude....
Firstly excellent video MalaMala, Thanks for showing their tracks on a map, really helped highlight the issue. 2ndly Mohawk is a crazy boy, he is incredibly brave and courageous and also super duper smart and lucky as well. Clearly he tried to intimidate those two boys, came as close as 200ms but when he realized that those two aren't running away, he ran and luckily had elephants to thank as well, 3rld Love DM, so glad he came for his two idiot brothers. Wish DM pulls rank on them and joins them forever now, 4thly, clearly there was a fight between 2 coaltions Blondie was injured hence Mohawk was alone on the 2nd day of the attack. Incredible video.
That's what happened! I couldn't figure out who was who with Avocas. At what point did our beloved DM step in to the picture? Did he join his brothers or just roared from a distance?
@@deniseyoung4494 started roaring from distance and started coming towards the action and those Ndzehnga boys pulled back and returned.
ok , its confirmed dark mane heard the commotion and came to see his brothers, amazing
Dude that's so sick no wonder most everyone loves dm
@@SD-es1gm Dark Mane is certainly well loved. What a King.
all the staff on djuma claim DM has the most loudest and intimidating roar of any male lion they know of , ive heard it on the djuma cam a few times , but id love to hear it ripple around and get louder as he gets closer,
@@zone_Magazine_reporter Yes it must be great to experience his roar in person.
@@zone_Magazine_reporter Any current male lion? I will one day experience a lion roar in person, but in the meantime, from watching countless videos I have never heard a roar as unique and loud as Makhulu's.
Mala Mala you always have the BEST videos! The sounds of the wild & nature is so appreciated so we can see and hear the rawness of nature at its finest! It still amazes me that the Lions walk right by the vehicles and don’t attack or try jumping in! I guess they get used to seeing vehicles & humans in their territory day after day. I also appreciate the written context you give your videos for your audience! 👍🏼👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Dark Mane has proven I was wrong about his relationship with his brothers I didn't expect to see him and this really makes me happy There are many events and the futile Kambula lioness plays its roles in a distraction and maker of intrigue and traps, and the B Boys are waiting these two coalitions exhaust each other ,Then choose the right moment to strike their final blow. This is their land, their pride and their cubs, and the game has begun.
The Kambulas hands-down run the show. They’ve kept the aging Birminghams and their shared offspring out of so many skirmishes and death by keeping and distracting these other males, Avocas, Ndzenga and others, away. Those girls stand the most to lose. They’re males, they’re sub-adult males and their new cubs. They know what they’re doing and they do it well.
Yes, lionesses can be very willful and resistant to takeovers. Yes, it's probably a very old "trick" for several lionesses in a pride, those who have no cubs, especially, to keep incoming and/or surrounding males "busy" so they will ignore cubs and subadults sired by the established males or whoever; a good case of this is the Ottawa pride during the past year or so. It seems that 2 Kambulas were pretty well settled with the NAvocas and have no cubs with them yet; the Kambula here is most likely the barren lioness in the pride.
@@private4918 I was thinking it was the cubless lioness as well.
@@private4918 she is barren
I totally agree! Well said. These girls are geniuses and very tough too.
@@private4918 oh.... is she the one that got my otthawa king in trouble?💔💔💔
Seems like the Avoca male was maybe calling for his brother, Mohawk, and when he didn't come to his aide he was smart enough to run off. Better to run when out numbered than to get into a fight when you are out numbered. I am guessing it is not over. I can't picture the Avoca's giving up without a fight of some sort. Well done camera crew!
Looks like our lady friend bringing all the boys to the playground again!
her role is very interesting ... wondering what she is up to ... I don't think mating, she came to check the situation and the males out ...
@@Mondibaby this kambula cannot conceive she is the same one that othawa male was messing with and lost his life
Right, lol. She was cracking me up
Great footage. One of the males were badly injured at the back legs with blod running down the inderside and the way he walked looks like he was in pain! Mohawk is a tank like one of the Ndzenga males!
i think , ubusu was flipped over by avocas and bitten on legs , there was a fight between both groups , that is for sure .
Thanks for keeping us updated with happenings at Mala Mala, much appreciated!
WOW!! What an amazing video. I felt like I was there, "live" ... The dead elephant, that was very strange!! If you listen with a headset, you can hear everything so crisp and clear. The roars are so powerful, you can even hear the male lions, feet walking in the sand. Amazing!!
Oh wow thank you Mala Mala great viewing for a Friday evening
I love the Avoca coalition.. Great footage.. Thanks for sharing 🤝
These lions are absolutely beautiful and majestic. Please continue to protect, respect and live these magnificent animals. I love lions, they r my favorite wild animal. Thank you for sharing their beauty .
malamala is the best
Wow, a very interesting video. I enjoyed every moment, directing, filming, illustrations and maps. It was more than wonderful. It made me feel like I was with them in the events. Thank you ♚ MalaMala♚ for this video and the effort is appreciated
I wonder if cranking way up the color saturation helped your impression ?
I LOVE seeing animals roam FREELY!!!!
I love this Chanel! It’s so obvious how comfortable the animals are in front of the “humans” and you feel like you right there with the prides and packs I just love y’all at Mala Mala💜💜from North Carolina
Thanks for showing and drawing us the map. Feels like I was there with y’all
So it is just Theories, we really will probably never really know what exactly happened with who scrapped with who. Glad all the boys are ok. The next few weeks should be interesting. My opinion... The Kambulas will be in the middle of it now that both coalitions are interested in them. Waiting game continues.
There is so much we have yet to figure out about lions and their communication with each other. This really was amazing and it shows a whole nother level of communication amongst themselves. Speaking particularly of the relationship with the 3 avocas here....❤🦁❤
Whoever is behind the camera deserves a lot of credit, it was a shame the video ended.
dark mane is my favorite lion along with mohawk and blondie there amazing
Goo to hear that the 3 aavoca brothers still got each others backs.
What I wouldn’t give to live inside the head of a lioness for just 24 hours! And what fantastic sounds from the boys today! Magnificent! 🦁
Mohawk is a pretty looking lion in his prime
Wow. Best video of the invasion so far.
That kambula lionness I believe can take on the Ndzgena lion. She is completely straight up bad ass. What a beautiful lionness
I love avoca males but ndzenga are on another level.
Amazing footage. Very much appreciate the maps as visuals. That female at the end….just incredible. Thanks for sharing. 💕
She was genius!!!!
That lionness playing both coalitions lol
Female
Actually, she and one or another Ntsevu have probably played with Birminghams, NAvocas, the late Ottawa Male, the Plains Camp Males, and now this.
he played them all for the sake of the 2 aging king and their cubs in Kambula kingdom hahaaa
Nicely explained .with a map as a treat .you guys are awesome
Did Dark Mane really appear to check on his brothers? Anyone know?
@@mikeburch5201 hope he does .because he is alone .
He was feeding on a kill very recently with blondie if I remember correctly so very possible
@@SD-es1gm good deal. Hoping they come together and safely keep their territories
@@mikeburch5201 yes he did
exciting stuff ... I am really thankful for MalaMala sharing this awesome clip with us ... I think there was definitely some fighting going on with Blondie having an injured back and one of the N-shakas having an ingured hind leg ... these are not injuries inflicted by brothers/coalition mates ... cool to hear Dark Mane went down south to support his brothers in securing boundaries at least with making his presence known by roaring ... also very interesting the role of the Kambula lioness checking out the situation ...
exact;ly
Yessssssss!!!!!
WOW That was amazing. Keep your cubbies safe Dark Mane! He is one handsome dude!
I'm absolutely enchanted by all the bird songs and chatter.
Great vid as always. The Kambula lionesses are probably getting agitated with having to deal with 8 different male lions now. Not good for future cubs unless they mate with all the males. crazy times for sure if dark mane was seen as well.
That roar! Impressive and beautiful
Salute to the camera man for following them.
I LOVE LION STORIES!
Beautiful awesome footage. Gosh I love this kambula warrioress lioness she's sassy sexy and scary feisty and ballzy. Love this gal. I also love LOVE my north avocas. I love nwa's nhdenzga males too. I'm very hopeful for no deadly takeovers but it is on the cards we are just an audience to this most wonderful sold uninhibited world of our beautiful wild brothers and sisters
I'm fascinated by lions. They have such an interesting family dynamic that is unlike any other cat. They are also as scary as (expletive here). I have stood next to a lion cage at a zoo with the lion looking me in the eye. The two things I realised are; they know they can kill you instantly and, they don't belong in captivity. Other than the few lion rehab facilities (Like the Kevin Richardson one) that are providing the best end of life environment for captive bred lions, we should be concentrating on habitat preservation and education like Mala Mala and other wild reserves.
There is a picture on wildfact showing blondie with scratches down his back/spine. He appeared fine and will recover but maybe they did have a fight and no one saw it.
Malamala prob didn't saw Blondie, they only saw Mohawk, and as we can see, he is fine, they definitely did fight.
@@tr1x243 come back to wildfact
@Matt Hawkins what? who are you lmao ?
One of the Ndzenga boys is badly beaten, see 04:10, he's also in the chasing duo. I think it's little chance for this to be done over the Kambula lioness by his brothers/partners. EDIT: Just have seen a video from July and his back gate and front paw were both affected. He's a real brave heart warrior!
@@hotbit7327 No, I don't think it's over. It seems as though the Ndzengas went from Londolozi into Mala Mala, further than just the northern area. Amahle was seen recently down south in Sabi Sabi probably in response to roars from Gore, but the 2 others may have remained further north. Yes, the back gate on the Ndzenga, but this one or another of them had a crooked front paw months ago, but here, it seems to be turned in the opposite direction.
I Love Lions 🦁 ❤️
Beautiful Lions/LIONESSES...So Majestic...I just Love them. Mala Mala Thank you so much for Always Sharing Wonderful Sightings with Us.
What will happen next, the adventure continues with this saga of the "Bold and the Beautiful" staring the Ndzenga Males, Northern Avoca Males and the lovely Kambula lioness. Stay tuned all to see what happens next.
📺
Great edition of the days that happened...
Excellent video for an armchair safari. Someone was in the right place at the right time.
As long as Dark Mane is good I'll be happy
your music makes all that you would show an interesting, .
4:09 The bigger face Ndzenga male was bited deep in the left leg. It bleed a lot. He has a broken left paw and it makes him slow than the others. Looks like the northern avocas could outnumbered him in the Chase and bite his leg for a while before the others ndzengas could reach them.
Do you know his name? the one with injurd left front paw and back leg?
@@salmanbinahmed8253 Uboso
Yes, the paw has been "broken" for awhile, and it can be seen in images from their home territory further south--thus far their home--that the paw seems to have been bent inward before. Remember that Blondie seems to have been limping on 1 front AND 1 hind leg recently, before the Nzengas started their 3rd northern excursion.
@@krishnar3493 The two in this video are amahle and uboso,the two biggest? And oeronji the one with a deformed leg?
@@AnandhKumar84 He is ok. Uboso now gets another injury to its left hind leg.
@16:15 the shoulders on that boy is spectacular.Tank!
Exciting and very entertaining lion coalition, we will see what will hPpen next.
It is so gorgeous there man i would love it
.......How a~mazing was *that* !
Whoa! That's a big road block! 🐘
We love lions ❤️
There is so much more to learn. Thanks for sharing.
I am so amazed by this footage..Thankyou for this.
Elephants must sense what's going down before an altercation even takes place.Very intelligent animals.
It appeared that one of the Nwaswishaka Males had a limp, anyone else notice this, at any rate what a magnificent video showing all these beautiful Males in all their glory
Great video as always. Thank you ❤️
There were images of Gore roaring elsewhere but looks like he wasn’t involved in any fight may be. Seems like Uboso was outnumbered and was caught out first by Blondie and one of his brothers. Soon help arrived for Uboso and Blondie got caught out? Excellent images, MM. Thank you.
Probably that's how it all happened..gotta agree with you
These NDZENGA MALES are really growing on me i love the 4 of them already they are going to be very exciting for the area
I don't know about them. They have injuries and i don't see them being as good or successful as the big coalitions who have come to sabi sands like 6 Mapogo, 6 Matimba, 5 majingilane, 5 selati and 5 Birminghams.
they are down to 2 now ,
Really a thrilling but a cliff hanger of sorts. The lioness was not only entertaining but very brave to come out in the open to save her pride . Hope nobody gets hurt. Even if they do , is there no agency to feed and nurse an injured lion. It is really heart breaking to see these magnificent animals go through so much pain in their last days. Just hope something and someone decides to give them decent exit....as it is not many are there around anymore, thanks to poaching and demented trophy hunting. One suggestion , if the lions could be named on the footage by some coloured markers it would make viewings more interesting. Sometimes , it gets a bit confusing as to who is fighting with whom. The maps and the written script made a big difference. Hope in the end nobody gets hurt badly. Waiting for more to come from you lot.....the brave and compassionate people. 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing stuff. Thanks for capturing it all and sharing it.
Hey friend, I always enjoy watching your amazing lion documentaries. 😊🙏🌸🦁 The lions are so beautiful. 💜
Excellent video!
Great great incredible footage as always. These Ndzenga boys look young big and strong
They sure do!
Discretion is the better part of valour. Avoca's and B'ham Boys ain't yet out of the game.
Yes it is! Wisdom and experience and age will do that.
Beautiful , beautiful lions. Looking good ya all
I see Lions in Position, Many on a Mission, With a very large Ambition! Interesting Times Ahead...
Fascinating, spectacular, thanks for sharing
*Love hearing the roars of a lion. Absolutely incredible.* *But how about that lioness? She came in and was like “are you okay?“ Immediately diffusing the situation.*
watching these lions is like watching a good tv series. if lions could wright, they would be able to wright a novel on their lives. Everything about them and the way they live is amazing.
It’s write…… or right.
they did fight ... both the avocas and these new males were injured....
yes I would say so as well... clearly there was a lil fight. but only problem with that theory is, there was not even a scratch on the N Avoca boys. Can they be THAT good a fighters? I wonder.
@@salmanbinahmed8253 Blondie was injured, there is picture of him on wildfact
@@sucyta7475 O wow, there is? Ok, then I think that concludes it for me. Clearly those AVC boys aren't messing around either.
I recently saw the images of Blondie (NAvoca)--messy, but he should heal completely from it in time, though he still has one or two limpy legs/paws. I think Mohawk and Dark Mane don't really any significant new injuries, and Dark Mane may not have been involved in any fight. It could be that the Ndzengas caught Blondie and Mohawk sort of watched from a safe distance being fully aware of the reality, if 3 Ndzengas were there.
@@private4918 Only problem with your last few lines is, Mohawk came back to the area of the onslaught ( no lion who ran for his life would come back to the same area even though he knows that his attackers are still there ) and tried to intimidate NWAS by coming 200ms close to them. Clearly, neither did he ran on the night of the fight nor did he lose the fight and nor was he hiding and looking at his brothers fight. LOL. Avoca's fought as much as they could and ran when numbers become too high on Nwas' side is the only logical conclusion, if not, we have to assume they whooped all 4 of them together, which is not impossible but highly improbable.
Awesome!!!
Great work guys!!
new lions cool awesome footage guys
Well put together video
OMG, So Beautiful!
Those male lion so amazing!
So many new news in Gowri males territory... Actually invaders chasing both of them... But the owners kept silent... Where is old king's... Come on bboys
eastern boundry at kruger
Beautiful male lions.
Do Brasil . Maravilha da natureza
Ndzenga ends a fight against the northern avocas and they want to break out another war in the south Kirmins Kamp, they responded to the 2 southern avocas and are looking for them. These guys are not resting they are determined to take on any territory and challenges. Impressive. Thanks for the information from the video Mala Mala!!
Source for the southern avocas
They will get mauled by the Southern Avoca;s if they mess with them, cos those two are ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS are together and are super aggressive
Southern avocas are really really mean lions, they don't play around, that would be tougher to take
Beautiful video lions whoo 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
ohhh btw , its been confirmed by londalozi videos of the same time , that a 2 avoca vs 2 Ndzinga males fight happened the first night , and you can see it at start of this clip , ubusu and his brother have fight wounds / cuts etc , both game reserve videos tell the complete story
0:58 such very interesting night safari
Interesting how things will play out
DarkMane is such a great lion and brother
Love your tooooooo
Please don’t forget about the stix pride nwash boys
Seeing that poor dead elephant standing straight was quite disturbing...:(
He looked young .strange death posture .
He looks as though he was in a deep thought.
Right. So weird doesn't make sense. How did he or she die? It looked young🥺
The elephant who died was young, it was quite disturbing. 😢
El ruso Igor de crimea p es un gran ejemplo los recapacita y los los repotencia tiene un negocio espectacular y también gana muy buen porque ustedes deben de imitarlo
Oh wow that's Darkmane with the Kabula lioness
