I have to laugh at that always drama pride. Fits well. Even for humans 😂❤

[@luvmyaussie9561]

Cheetah mom is wonderful. Its very challenging for cheetah mams to raise her cubs to adulthood. These two cuties look so healthy and playful. Kudos to mom.

When I was a young kid in the early '70's, I watched the show " Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" with my grandfather. I loved animals since then. 🐆

[@michaela844]

I love mother nature. Its a Hard life and beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bedinabebe4521]

Yep, I new it had to be the entertaining Kalambula Pride🤣 Definitely from zero, but I wouldn't nearly rate the height of 100. That would be their attack on my favorite Tsalala Queen. But Always Drama Pride is🎯 Adorable Cheetahs and Ellies, beautiful sighting.

[@candicedilembo2060]

Lions lionesses the most beautiful animals on the planet. Please do all u can to protect them. Their lives are difficult enough! truly superb!

[@deeT02]

Awww Love the Elles and that baby❤

[@annettelane659]

Feisty lions, cute little elephant calves, the picturesque Sand River and playful Cheetah. Couldn't have asked for more MalaMala, loved every moment, thank you so much.

[@Sherrie77722]

Awesome sighting. Those cheetah playing were so cute. I love watching your videos, great content.

[@kimberlylopez9402]

Too many hens in the henhouse 😂. Awesome video

[@annettelane659]

Lol Kimberly, a great way to put it. Ha ha.

[@fofipapadopoulou8856]

But, of course the "Always - Drama" pride. Grandaughters of Mapogos, daughters of Majingilanes! What did we expect? 😂❤🦁

[@lindafromcalifornia1155]

Excellent work at capturing the sightings. Something must have transpired in the evening and was carried over. The cheetah are so beautiful to watch. I enjoyed how you slowed it down while they were running. Thanks so much.

[@buraksimsek7264]

Its very weird to see females from the same pride chase eachother away..

[@sillygirl3284]

Great view around 3:00 of just how big the Kambula lionesses are compared to the Nwaswishaka males - they exceed the males on height.

[@alicebarton27]

Fun to watch 2 Cheetah youngsters playing like 2 kids

[@gatorduran3288]

I love Lion stories!

[@G13ZZ]

Дааааа, вот это приветствие !!!! Прекрасная картинка живой природы, очень люблю ваш канал

[@kmkhare385]

Interesting video depicting wild animals

[@RodelysLPerry]

Those kambula ladies are always feisty! Even when Nhenha and Tinyo were with them they were feisty! I remember when they cornered Lady Tsalala and her little cub by the river bank….

[@albertopeluso7067]

when they attacked lady Tsalala fortunately the daughter was well hidden!

[@private4918]

@@albertopeluso7067 Exactly, and probabaly again when the PC males murdered her, she told her daughter in lion language to scoot into the bushes while she took the punishment. The present Tsalala lioness probably did witness both terrible events. Maybe why she's not seeking the PC males out for mating--she's over 4 years old now, but she's got other potential mates out there, like Gijimas.

[@luvmyaussie9561]

I think the 2nd time were Menghene lionesses. PCs were mating with Menghenes who are too pretty intolerant and killed quite a few themselves.

[@private4918]

@@luvmyaussie9561 Yes, at least someone else in this stuff knows how awful lionesses can be--not really much better than the males! See the video lately where 1 Kambula is beating up on that cub until the mother comes? You know the Kambulas are maybe even meaner than their mothers--might've been the death of 1/4 some years back. That was near the end of 2017 or maybe a year later--when the mothers/daughters were in the process of permenently splitting territory, The Between them, the Manghenis and Kambulas probably killed at least 1 adult Sparta lioness some years back, maybe 1 adult Styx lioness probably during those same years, one or two Styx cubs much more recently (of course, the Gijimas and Nkulu males did some damage too), maybe a Styx Birmingham sub or two a few years back. The Manghenis probably hastened the death of one of their own mother/aunts, the "tailed daughter," I believe, of BB Tsalala. If I remember right, the Kambulas probably hastened the death of the "tailless daughter" of BB Tsalala. And the Manghenis made sport of trying to beat up the Nkuhuma male, and probably the late Styx male, before Styx was gone and Nkuhuma moved into Londolozi for a while. But on a final note, Singita reported that the Plains Camp males had been seen in the immediate area before they found the carcass of Ms. Tsalala. The PCs both had some new bloody scratches after this, in images. One more item. The Ottawa pride was really mean to the Ximumgwe pride after the first Majingilane litter was born--a tragic litter, as it turned out. Two Ximumgwes killed, one partially cannibalized.

Thats a very big lioness, and a not huge Male. I love the name you've given them

[@muhammadzohaib21]

Elles sure know how to pool party never gets old.

[@barbarabourgeois888]

What Magnificent Beasts!!! ❤ 🤩🦁🦁🦁🤩❤️ They have “issues” like the rest of us!! 😂😂😂 I know they’ll work it out!! ❤️🦁❤️ Oh and the Gorgeous Ellies!!! ❤️🤩🐘🐘🐘🐘🐘❤️🤩

[@gooberfries6692]

Exciting and nerve wrecking at the same time.😊

[@scottbrown3360]

The original Kambula girls are some big lionesses. They really make the males look small

[@Tony-bd2ux]

Yeah it's rare to see lioness with this size.

[@powerinvolved-di3vl2yd6q]

That one lioness is as big as the male!

[@Tony-bd2ux]

Yes and it is a very dangerous lioness.

[@michaelhazell1642]

Nice 👍

[@fukatrumume9750]

Omg, lion soaps r the best ones to watch. Lion society is unforgiving. Each member is an army of one fight from r life, for their moment in the Sun. They r fiery beings ❤️ ❤️ 🦁

[@sandarahcatmom9897]

3:24 that's an awfully big female. No wonder he's being a bit cautious.

[@user-ng2dz4ye9j]

❤

[@luvmyaussie9561]

The males were tiptoeing while approaching and retracting like “I just checking if you are in the mood, ups maybe not … ok want no trouble I will slowly turn around not quite the 180 to make sure you don’t jump me. “ The other male is like “ ok I won’t lay around here, oh crap which direction should I run?!”

[@SallyS1970]

They've been like that since the Matphsiri males.. that's a perfect name for them 😂!

[@kimmuckenfuss2284]

It's like a Lion Soap Opera.

[@thegreenhorney6353]

Excelente 👊

[@AnandhKumar84]

Is that Amhale bossing Eoronji... Eoronji suddenly looks to have lost a lot of mane and looks like a much younger male

[@liongrrrl]

What happened to my Kambula pride?? Why so many lionesses die?

[@dattaramghanekar6002]

🎉

[@Democratt]

It is not very good for the first male lion to act so agressivly towards his smaller brother, one day he will need his brother's help and then the smaller lion will remind him about it

[@Pawsandtales321]

It’s completely normal for lions to scrap over mating rights and kills and still keep their bond with each other.

[@sharonsolomon2057]

Is she pregnant or full of food?

[@private4918]

I'd say preggy. No, I don't know that for "sure." If it was food, the other lionesses would probably look the same way IF they had dinner togeter AT THE same time.

[@chrismawata8755]

2:52 Can't they take these things to arbitration?

[@Tony-bd2ux]

Lioness in this pride are so strong and agressive. Their genetic must be awesome. It's not common to see lioness as big as male. This is some dangerous ladies.

[@bedinabebe4521]

Kalambulas?

[@user-et8me2fo2i]

Why?what happend?? U canno5 undrstand

[@Tenshus4ever]

The king was like " back off " to the young male trying to take his mate😅

[@alicebarton27]

I am so glad I'm not an animal, especially an animal of prey!!😂

[@lenawojciechowska-kaczmare1705]

What is going on?

[@LotsofLisa]

I’m an only child, but if I had sisters, we would be the Kambulas. Always arguing, fussing, being messy and doing the absolute most! 😂😂😂 Loved these girls since the day Mfumo and the rest of the Birmingham Boys came across them. I can only assume some of the younger girls are B Boy sired daughters. ❤️

Where is gored? Im afraid that he will the next ndzhenga to die.

[@private4918]

I think he's made a practice of limiting vigourous, strenuous activity. No explanation needed of what could happen quickly if he completely cut loose and didn't restrain himself in ways, at times. For one thing, the "issue" probably causes some discomfort at times even if not pain--like it might "slap" itself around hard if he runs fast or turns quickly. Yeah, my belief has been that he will probably be next to pass on, but we don't know when. The doesn't mean I wish early death on him!
