4 Male Lions on Buffalo Kill | The Virtual Safari

The Mbiri/Nharu males feed on a buffalo, and the Birmingham male pays them a visit

Best quality film of lions I ever saw 😳

[@renaegentilcore1169]

[@binalmistry]

I think we should call them the 4 Manyeleti Males. That is where they are all from.

[@jzkramer]

Could be more original, the Majingis were originally called Manyeleti males

[@binalmistry]

@@jzkramer there were Manyeleti males before the majingis too. Its been around for a while so you are right.. its not original. But it suits them based on their origin. Both natal prides are from Manyeleti.

[@AgentRafa]

Yes they must've done an incredible job, and they look like they've just been in a war. Great footage, thank you.

[@cath6200]

Yes, the Nharu male could be related to the 3 Mbiris since they come from the same coalition of males... Thanda Impi Coalition of two unrelated males. At least one of them could be his half brother if sired by the same male.....

[@tintswalovirtualsafari]

Hi! Yes if it was the same male of the two that mated with the females they would all have their same fathers genes

[@Jakubescu]

Even young they are already very robust and well-fed, if they manage to survive and take over a pride I am sure they will be very successful coalition..great footage thank you for uploading:-)

[@tr1x243]

Prob not likely, if there where 2 lions in the coalition they might accept the 3rd male.. But 4 related lion coalition would prob not accept the 5th unrelated male, as they have no use off him, they already have enough numbers, he would be only unnecessary competition for food and mating rights in future..

He wasn't going to try that he'll he was trying to smell or sneak some type of meat and get his ass out of there ,they don't try make loin's like that unless they catch one by himself and it must be 20 or hyena for them to even start picking with just one Lion and these are young males fully grown they aren't even walking up that close trust me.

@@ieatemcees yea, all people assume that other 2 Tumbelas are death, but that doesnt need to be the case.. Young nomadic males often get split during that time when dominant males chase and scatter them, its hard for them to reunite after in enemies territory where they cant roar loud.. 2 Tumbelas can easily be alive somewhere together..

[@kevinstandow2943]

PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION , That single lion that came in to this huge buffalo the group is feeding on and hanging with ok , You said he was with the white lions and is this the YBM ( about 4 now?) that a lone original Birmingham male who the Ross brothers ran off and he stubbornly remained a long time and at a year and a half had an attack by them compromise his rear leg but it got much better , He had a white sister and would go in and out among his birth pride often and one Ross tolerated him and the mean one saw the potential threat, That I think was in Nagala and I have not heard much for a year or a tad more , Excited me with you saying it was the Birmingham male , I know the Breakaways are a group of six , This if that one weathered ten or more hyenas on a partial kill out of principle all night and they gave him all they had and he by the skinny suckling tree( branch) never let them get under his skin , Showed great character and the guide agreed , The white sibling had me thinking it’s him so is it ? I HAVE TRIED A-LOT TO FIND OUT ABOUT HIM ? Really appreciate if you could let me know , Have a Happy New Year and stay healthy ! Sincerely, Kevin Standow .

I love this, and love that its raining. We visited the Manyeleti over the long weekend in September and saw a few Lions at the main dam, this area where the kill is seems like the burnt spot on your way to the gate on the left hand side? Since then with the rain that area is looking beautiful! My brother in law works on the Manyeleti as well, Mark Bourn so we LOVE to visit the family there as much as we can! keep up the videos and hard work, LOVIT!

[@kimmuckenfuss2284]

That was so cute the lone lion that kind of sneaked up on those lions. Watching them from afar & you can almost read his mind by looking at his facial expressions. He's like..."naw, there's too many tough-looking males guarding that carcass for me to try to get a bite." Then it's hilarious the way he slinks away, so as to not draw any attention to himself because he knows that if those males saw him there might be a fight, & by the numbers it wouldn't be fair.

Does any here know lion dynamics? How is it that male lions will accept a nomad? I thought they fought other lions that were not apart of their blood line.

[@user-yb8xm7jv1l]

Pllm30 I'm thinking he must be related. I thought lions kill any unrelated males.

[@llllllllllllllllllll1296]

It happens during nomadic period because one of the reason They lure each other because of food nomads lion do share food each other but not all the time but it begins with food. Kings who are dethrone and become nomads again specially old kings who cannot hunt properly most likely you’ll see them eating together with nomads same goes on for young nomads

[@sabbrah8365]

Great to see the Narhu and the males Mbiri ..... it's been a while since I saw them, these become beautiful lions 💕 I hope they will get there and suffer no loss .... not the same pride, but the same fathers, a beautiful line ... to see the Birmingham male 💕was also great, he finally decided to start from the pride and follow his own path, difficult to join a coalition of 4 males , but why not 🙂 I wish him to find one or more coalition partners, he must not remain alone .... I wish them all the best ... on the other hand, find that there are already quite a few from lion to Sabi Sand, I think it's a bit risky and dangerous to go back .... nice video, I really like to see all these young lions ..... 👍

[@kevinstandow2943]

That Birmingham male was the one that stayed in and out of the Ross Brothers Pride so long and had a white sis ? Been trying for quite awhile to his whereabouts or ? I remember the absolute fortitude he displayed the night on a partial kill he weathered ten or so hyenas throwing everything they could at him as he just ignored them and even the guide stated that was something special , So that’s the one the Ross had at a year and a half hurt his back leg ( looks better ) if so and you could let me know I would truly appreciate it , Kevin

Those lion wont do anything to you hum ?? Whats the reason ?

[@tr1x243]

They are with vechicles since they where born..

[@jso6790]

Why did the three Mbiri lions accept the Nharu male? Because they are young? Not territorial? We are so used to seeing male lions kills or drive each other off that it seems like a rare thing for three males to accept an outsider into their coalition.

[@sakiatincr7fan845]

Young male lions often accepted by unknown pride cuz they aren,t a threat to them & bearable by unknown pride we can see such incident like Makhulu was accepted by the Eyerefield/Sparta pride, Solo was accepted by the Eyrefield/Sparta pride, Big Boy Mhangeni was also accepted by the Nkuhuma pride, Nkuhuma Young male also accepted by the Styx pride & so on lion couldn,t survive by their own speacially the young males so they have always try to join other pride for their survival & the let them join as they are no longer threat to them as well as their cubs.

[@sakiatincr7fan845]

& more importantly the Nharu male was accepted by the Mbiri pride while they were young & later Orpen males drove them away from the pride hence their nomadic life starts. Infact unknown males often team up together for better life as they can have numerical superior for defend themselves from the other intruders & could easily protect their pride members The 5 Mpondo males are not realated & then the 4 De Laporte males also.

[@tr1x243]

3 Mbiris didnt accept Nharu..when Nharu joined Mbiri Pride, young Mbiri males where 1-1.5 yrs old cubs.. 2 years ago, as subadult, Nharu young male joined Mbiri pride, he most likely lost somehow his natal Nharu pride, so he find Mbiris and they accepted him.. He is 2 yrs with them, so they are pretty much like real brothers by now..also he is the oldest and most dominant one..

[@sabbrah8365]

Tr1x 24 hello I have two little questions for you 🙂 I hope you will be able to answer them ..... I am looking to have news of the sister (or cousin) of the young male Nkuhuma. I'm talking about the one who stayed with him when he found himself alone, I understood that the male Avocats didn't want her at the time .... has she since been able to join the pride? is she called tatty ears? I also thought I understood that one or two lionesses were missing in the Nkuhuma pride ... and I also wanted to know what was happening with the female Zebenine and her daughter, I learned that the little one was dead, but I did not manage to have more details. thank you in advance 🙂

How do unrelated males communicate "I am not here to fight. Let's form a coalition."? Especially when it is one joining three brothers. It seems like a tremendous risk for one to approach three.
