A Magnificent Lion Pride Lies In Wait To Ambush Prey | The Lions Of Etosha | Real Wild

There are about 500 lions living in the Etosha Pan, this is the story of how they live together and an account of the family affairs of one pride in particular. The lions of the Ombika pride are a nineteen-strong family, we see how the pride lives, protected by two magnificent males, how it brings up its cubs and teaches them to hunt. The Ombika pride, named after one of Etosha's waterholes, is dominated by two immense males, each weighing 550 lb. One is gold maned, the other black. This is their story.

The lion mother was crying because she had injured badly we gave her water and from the looks of her injury it looked like It was a pride take over she ran with her babies she felt comfortable enough to push her baby in our hand were shocked we stayed with for 2hour after that she died my my grandparents raised those beautiful lion cubs I wish I could should the pictures and everytime when I visit the 2 cubs jump on me outta of excited I love them we are planning to send back once their are adults

dsd yes, humans can give birth to twins who has different dads

[@yazzycouturellc266]

Where's Maury when you need him?

[@rachelschwebach7566]

Yes, the females often mate with more than male in the pride. That means cubs are often siblings (same mom) and also cousins (different fathers). When the young males are driven out of the pride, they leave together and will spend the rest of their lives together. Females usually stay with the rest of females for the rest of their lives. Prides are made up of mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers, sisters, aunts and cousins. 🦁

[@davidmellish3295]

@@rachelschwebach7566 yes BUT they are saying the Cubs have different fathers IN THE SAME LITTER !!! How does that work,1 lion fertalizes 1 egg and a different egg is fertilized by another Male,so the female is made pregnant by 2 Male lions at the same time!!! That's just mad,I know the females will mate with both males BUT I'd never would have thought that both could impregnate her at the same time.

[@markphillyfreeway5350]

Yes they do that so both male lions treat the cubs as there own. Bc sometimes the dominate male will go on pratol for days so the less dominate male will mate with the in heat females.

A wonderful film. Des & Jen Bartlett were a wonderful Australian wildlife camera team who filmed epics for Survival Anglia. The Lion pride has plenty of prey in their territory yet the Zebra, Wildebeest and Spring bock, are not easy to hunt and Elephants and the rare Black Rhino give the preditors the run around the water hole at night.

There's some great new documentaries, like 'White lions,' 'Swamp lions,' or 'Pride & punishment.' But with newbies, they don't want to tell the lions story, they want to tell A story.
