Update on the new males: It is in fact the young Blackdam male and the Monwana male🦁🦁 Thanks Again for all the great comments everybody appreciate very much🤗

[@chrissousa5092]

Hi was reading your comment and I was curious u said one of them is a black dam young male wasn't there 5 Black dam young males and if so what's the reason this one joined up with this other male

[@private4918]

@@chrissousa5092 There are 6, and 2 have taken up residence farther south in Sabi Sands during the past year.

[@private4918]

You sure this is Monwana who is the son of the LATE Blackdam male? He had a brother, who was dead within weeks or so after his father. They were 4-5 years old a least at the time, end of 2020. The Blackdam here is called "Guernsey" early in the video.

Once again you've witnessed live video footage of the 2 males that would love to take over the pride! The great thing is that you share it with us on KZbin. You're viewings are nothing short of amazing. I wonder if the 2 males will take over the pride? I'm hoping 🙏 that the cubs will be OK, though l know it'll end in tears with a pride take over. I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for updates. I'm looking forward to more of your videos. Big thank you for sharing. 🦁 🦁 🦁

[@jenniferross4646]

My Goodness, What A Twist! What Did Christof Just Wake Up To? These nomads are impressive looking and most definitely in the wrong territory to be messing around with the Skorro Males Pride. Watching the cubs honing in on life skills needed in order to survive while danger lurks in the mist was an enjoyable moment as well as made the threat situation more surreal. The cubs can climb a tree if the threat reaches penetration point to their location. The Mayanbula Beauties appear to be a united force to reckon with standing together as a unit so I don't think that the intruders will have an easy time with these girls if it came down to that. It's great to hear the Mighty Powerful Skorro Males Vocalizing and I hope that they get on back before these youngsters potentially reach the cubs and other girls. Hopefully, this lioness will not lead them to the other members. I agree in that this is certainly very interesting and very unexpected. I wouldn't want to be in these two shoes when the dominant tanks arrive. Mr. Christof, due to the distance of which these two nomads travelled to get to Skorro territory, is it possible that these two were sedated and moved into this territory? I ask this question because, Allegedly, it is known to happen on reserves. What is the distance from the location of where the nomads came from to this location? Also, do lionesses have a sound that would alert pride members of danger or intruders or are they known for specifically luring potential threats away from the cubs and other pride members? Are the lovelies with the cubs in the range to smell the infiltrators? If they were to smell the intruders, would they move the cubs closer towards the direction of the Skorro Males vocalization area and will they send distress calls out to the Skorro Males or remain quietly while moving the cubs to safety? The nomads know not to vocalize to make their presence known to the big guys, so, are the Skorros to far away to pick up on the nomads scent at their (Skorros) current location? How far away are the Skorros from their pride according to their vocalization calls? Will the Skorro Males sense danger or if other animals send out warning calls where the intruders are, will the Skorro Males hear those danger warnings and investigate? Sorry for all of the questions, however, if you don't ask questions, you don't gain knowledge, you're left with only questions and no answers to contribute to gaining knowledge. I don't wish harm or death to any of these precious and majestic creatures and I hope for a good ending for all involved, but, the cubs and pride members safety, protection, and territory are first and threats must be handled accordingly in the wild as in life in general. Now that the intruders are here, will you be back out tonight to see if anything transpire or will you come back out early in the morning to see if anything transpired or if other staffers are out and see or hear anything exciting or interesting occurring, will you receive a call and then you go to the site of the event? Although a monkey wrench has been thrown into the mix, this is still another welcomed sighting well presented, thank you!

[@cs-wildcam]

Thanks again for commenting Jennifer! The females would react immediately if they had to either smell, see or hear the new males close by, and if all the lionesses are together or at least out number the two new males they would definitely fight them off! Maternal instinct in these big cats are very strong. These Lions occurs naturally out here so they haven’t been relocated like others. You are right, there are lions that is relocated into the National parks at times. Great for genetic diversity. It is such a privilege to watch this lion soap opera unfold for a living and I can’t wait to share the rest of my footage that I’ve captured the last few days! My time is limited because the lodge is super busy but il try my best to keep the episodes coming! Thanks again for the lovely comment Jennifer much appreciated 🤗🦁hope I answered your question 🙋‍♂️

[@fukatrumume9750]

This video scared me. Surely hope none of the males will be on a collision course. Lion society is unforgiving. The 2 normands look like young gladiators in their prime. Their lives r hard. Territory is everything to the lions. Omg, don’t want the young Blackdam & Monwana males in a fight with the Skorro male residents. Please magnificent ones, be better than hoomans, don’t kill each other. So scared for the 11 cubs. Is there a way to safeguard their survival? Hope for the best for the lionesses & cubs & the 4 males. Not sure if I could handle this video 😞 😧

[@cs-wildcam]

Thank you for the comment Fukatrum. We are a bit nervous as wel. The good thing is that the pride males are in their prime and in full strength. They stand a very good chance of holding on🤗 will keep you posted

[@fukatrumume9750]

Holding my breath to watch the entire video. Great to know that the 2 Skorro Males r able to defend their territory to protect cubs & their pride. But this implies a brutal reality that the 2 normands would risk injuries and/or death in a battle. It’s difficult to fathom and/or to refrain from anthropomorphism.. Wow, the 2 older kings announced their presence & kingdom. Aww, look at these 2 young, majestic princes on the alert to assess their circumstances. Be well & safe handsome boys. Oh cubbies, luv uuuuuuuuuu🦁 Appreciate u, your uploads & your dedicated work. Be well. Take care, Christof.

That treating another like a lioness in mating practice I would if a lion leave part of his mane on the ground to remind him you crossed a line boy ! Christof that’s not a norm but I saw it with a group of four before , TESTOSTERONE IS RAGING ! Sons are born right Christof ! HAVNT seen Skorro brothers in a bit , Some seasoned nomads ate some rough dudes right , Their lucky Plains Camp aren’t in this region , Some bloodthirsty want it all duo they’ve become , May be more ? Just saw how aggressive they were looking for King Nhenha and his son / nephew , Been missing a month and a couple days , It’s a night drive Christof ? As the night gets dark all hell may break lose soon ! Having a map is easy to obtain to get acclimated to these regions , Christof is there Oak trees in your region or anywhere in your stomping grounds ? Some areas look so much like some of my Calif countryside from the Sandy rivers to just the overall perspective I grasp from a Go -Pro perspective , Back to a fire and socializing and you Christof diaper duty and chill time ! Dynamics changing possibly on the horizon ! Kevin

I hope they go or find another territory for they are playing with fire their presence is a danger to the cubs and it is dangerous for them from the Skorro males they will not tolerate them

Quick question #CS wildcam When your lions are severely injured or in danger, do you intervene? I hope you help them in some way.

Intervention only when the injury is caused by humans... Snares, cars, etc

[@АрманДуйсеналинов-ч7у]

[@deeT02]

I wonder why the females don't move the cubs closer to the skoro males?

[@KO-ei9db]

probably in my opinion is because whenever new males invade with an intent to takeover, the females first goal is to get the cubs out of harms way far away from the intruders while the Skorro males patrol and track them down and chase them out. so the Skorro males being around the pride and not patrolling their territory and keeping control will only allow the intruders to venture deeper into their territory and chaos will ensue

[@cs-wildcam]

Great comment and agree💯👍

Ok but I heard the skoro males were at the other end of the territory. Wouldn't it make sense to move them that way?

Never know how a fight goes down , Size and experience sometimes don’t guarantee the outcome , Hope it goes well for all and these two ,the Prides guardians didn’t patrol that side the night before , Sure they will this night , I remember some Mapogos chasing two out and the narrator saying They will never return to this area and feel it deep in their bones ( something like that? ). Waiting for the next video patiently , Funny how some of Africa reminds me of the foothills I walk in since a kid and when the landscape & animals there are indigenous and still doing well I can be out hiking and relaxing all day and end up on a sandbar by a fire with all the amenities and heat what the night will bring , heard a Mountain lion take a big mule deer down a couple years ago as I was above the canopy of this basin and it was quiet as possible and the last breaths of the deer and brush crashing left no doubt on the outcome , Big make cat spotted a week before May of been the culprit , hear about one’s on the news that normally are ran out of their home ranges by the bigger rarely seen dominant solitary male cougar , Big territories too , Not quite the same as Africa but can be exciting and unpredictable, Seeing something one late eve outside of Lake Tahoe back in a alpine rarely visited lake I saw what was not suppose to be there or anywhere , Close enough and quietly got out of dodge , Bipedal and nine ft talk being conservative , Second time I ever mentioned this , I don’t backpack alone anymore or see the areas like this the same ever again , Still just feel not the same , Be careful out in any wild environment and use if you have it your sixth sense , it comes with time out in the wilderness , at seven at a cabin back in the woods forty minutes from the crowded valley we had a log cabin and I went at pre dawn very far to return at the late afternoon and eat and out fishing or just exploring , Was young but felt protected and comfortable always in the outdoors till the experience i for some reason expressed on this site , Love these sites , Take care all and be safe !
