Cannibal lioness attacks ME!

One can see where Winston gets his ability to tell a good story.

[@bobloblaw204]

@grace - Yes, been following Winston for many years. He and C-Milk are proper entertainers. Then a couple years ago, I found Winstons father. So much fun. Cheers!

[@stst77]

Clearly a chip off the old block.

A well brought up boy thanks to his Mum and Dad.

[@crisco362]

You are one of those blokes that can talk about anything and make it interesting.

[@williamwelch7]

Thanks Frederick. They say cat's have nine lives... you must have a hundred!

[@fredericksterzel8405]

Never thought about that . Doing this work all the time means trouble coming your way .

[@stst77]

If I had that experience, i would not want be too keen on tigers and lions either!

[@DavidJohnsonFromSeattle]

Lioness probably: that's my meal!

[@kathycooper3594]

Thank you for another great story. Be safe and take care

[@TUCOtheratt]

I was thinking that the lion was going to learn fast. Great Story!

[@AnnE-mn8ny]

Listening to your stories SA, now I know why, being born and growing up in Rhodesia and Zambia, I always felt 'on edge' in the background of my life, especially spending school holidays in the bush, even though I never encountered or experienced any threatening wild life. One school holiday in Zambia out nowhere, my Dad had a temporary wooden accommodation (sawmilling) and I recall all night hearing a creature loudly gnawing at my bedroom wall. As a child I found that rat? sound simply terrifying. By the way, I had farming relatives who had tame lion cubs though I lived in Australia by then.

[@rickbarrington]

Very interesting lion stories. Thank you for sharing, so what’s the rest of the story about the lions on Acacia tree?

[@SurvivingAfrica]

Next week!

[@fredericksterzel8405]

Thanks for asking . I will re-tell that story very soon . My worst nightmare .

[@soma4u289]

Surprising your life of adventure and you haven't really aged a bit (maybe lost your woolly mop).You are truly an inspiration!

[@Joemantler]

"I was nearly killed by a lion as a child, and that left a mark." I SHOULD SAY SO! Well, it clearly didnt make you timid, Mr Reach-Into-A-Hole-To-Grab-A-Cobra!

[@SurvivingAfrica]

LOL

[@fredericksterzel8405]

Funny comment 😊

[@gtd-sq2pj]

Another great story. Keep it up.

[@danhong2423]

Your live experience and skills are just incredible! Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@SurvivingAfrica]

Thank you

[@Salmon_Rush_Die]

Ultra deadly snakes? Yes, please. Lions? Hell no.

[@robbertram3310]

Another Sunday morning, another excellent story! This morning I wasn’t much into the fact that it is Sunday, then I see a new Surviving Africa episode has dropped and once my coffee is ready I click on and hold on!

[@markmurto]

Another story that kept me on edge! I can just visualize the scene. You've told stories that show wild animals have reasoning powers we are not really aware of.

[@fredericksterzel8405]

Yes . Even reptiles .

[@caseclosed9342]

Back when my dad was a kid, they used to have a chain of wild animal parks here in the US called Lion Country Safari and back in the day you could drive through the park in your car and animals including lions could roam freely around your car and when my dad’s family drove through it he watched lions hop up and flop down on the bed of the pickup truck in front of him! 😂 As you might imagine there were mishaps (and after hearing the stories on the channel I can see why) and eventually all but one park closed, with the remaining park keeping lions segregated from cars by a fence now. It’s also worth noting Lion Country Safari was one of the inspirations behind the park in both the book and movie Jurassic Park, with the park’s logo, gates and mishaps being partially based on LCS.

[@Slattery777]

Always a pleasure to hear these stories

[@j2thejoseph]

What wild adventures! You sure are brave. 😃👍

[@Brenda-xz9vh]

Thank you, as always a great story. I wait every week for the next one.

[@SurvivingAfrica]

Thank you for the support!

[@dannvale2784]

Reminds me of a joke about the zoo in Prague with the punchline "the Czech is in the male."

[@fredericksterzel8405]

That works for me 😊

[@eduardo3652]

Wow, amazing story, thank you!

[@jarnMod]

I hear the plan and like...yeah, nah. I wonder how much they got to pay me to work that assignment.

[@SurvivingAfrica]

Zero

[@godnah]

An entire pride? Uncle Fred must be lion.

[@sanborns]

I have watched all your interesting videos to date, Keep them coming.

[@SurvivingAfrica]

Thank you

[@mtathos_]

Never fail to disappoint haha! Cheers!

[@markmurto]

What do you mean "disappoint?" Did you mean the opposite?

[@jacobsnyder6888]

I love how you tell your stories bro so interesting to here what someoe elses life is like all the way across the world but God bless and happy new year brother cant wait for the next one

[@SurvivingAfrica]

Thanks so much for the support

[@markmurto]

Had to listen to this one twice, so good. Suppose the lioness had gotten an inch into the door space before it slammed shut. In the Bible it is said Samson tore a young lion apart with bare hands. Well, it must have been very young, or possibly a small breed of cat.

[@garypreston266]

Love these Stores Hi from Glasgow

[@fredericksterzel8405]

Hi to you too . Only time I visited Scotland is when I got lost looking for Blackpool 😊

[@Joemantler]

I was wondering why you wouldnt kill a cannibalistic lioness. But if it is all lionesses in a pride, that explains it.

[@Chantelleweich]

Lovely story! Did you manage to get the other 2 cubs? Knowing you, you probably did???

[@SurvivingAfrica]

I wasn't prepared to do it again that day and it was the only day I had

[@GraemeWight-wx3xz]

Lions are ok. As long theyre over there and not over here. Half 2nd later. Now theryre over here.

[@jaybee9269]

She’s not a cannibal; she doesn’t eat her own kind.

[@SurvivingAfrica]

Yes she was eating her own cubs... infanticide

[@markmurto]

Guess she wasn't listening well.

[@stst77]

Even domestic cats will sometimes cannibalize their own babies.

[@borninthewrongtime6449]

I think you have Lion PTSD !!! Both encounters, but especially the first sound terrifying !! I find Lions beautiful but I strongly believe they should be left alone & not shot for sport. Recently (2021) there was a Dentist (from the NY area) who went to a Sanctuary & killed a Lion & another animal. It was clearly against the laws in the Sanctuary but he ended up just being fined, which enraged many people. In America, where we see Lions on TV, as in "Born Free" where Elsa was tame & brought her cubs to see Joy after she was released (If the story is to be believed..of which there is doubt) & animation like "The Lion King"..or we see them in Zoos..we have NO IDEA how deadly they are until we watch National Geographic shows when we grow up. Excellent story..I love learning things from you !!

I was born on the wrong continent. :(

[@heiner71]

Are you Elliott Marston?

[@matthewXL]

So 4 cubs beats a king of lions. Got it

[@oskarprotzer3000]

I love how you just talk without editing much. These days every second sentence is cut

[@SurvivingAfrica]

Thank you....these are my TRUE tales...cutting seems a bit contrived. Go well and thanks for the comment

[@oskarprotzer3000]

@@SurvivingAfrica yes it feels more authentic that way and relaxed. Also it shows what you are thinking about and feeling while telling the story. For example when you pause or speak faster, its noticeable. Just like sitting next to you by the fire :) I am glad your son recommended the channel
