As the S 21 males have settled in, in the far southern kruger, it seems as if it's more than just the Gomondwane males that should worry about them.
Tank, still missing, seem to be one of two issues here in the southern kruger, as the two veterans, the Mazhiti males Fudge and Smudge, has also not been seen in a long while.
The fact that the old S 21 males travelled through their territory to get to the Gomondwane territory, leaves many questions un-answered about their ware bouts. It seems as if the old S 21 are really starting to male a name for themselves here in the far south, and it's affecting multiple lion prides, and male lion coalitions.
Yes, we know there will be wars soon, that's inevitable, but there's way more to it than just that. It's entire future bloodlines that depends on many moves that's being made here in the south.
The Kruger National Park and it's lion dynamics is ever changing, and the stories evolve too. Sometimes sad, sometimes happy......
Do enjoy this video:)

The fact that Tank made it back to his brothers, insofar he does not have TB and just weary from battled, he will only get and look stronger as the days go by. Also, his brothers will garner confidence and spend less energy looking fir him and focus on their immediate surroundings. If he does have TB, that will be a shame but he can still live as long as he eats.

I love Lion stories especially with adorable lion cubs!

[@Senerian]

Maybe they are seeing other lions being killed by poachers and are fleeing those areas? Cause I do not think there is very much effort made in stopping poachers killing lions.

[@AngelPerez-vo7nn]

I totally understand and agree 💯 persent let's go beautiful tank split nose and Blondie 💪 coalition ❤️🙏 bro ❤️🦁👑

[@user-ks5ub6nm1d]

Thank you for the update👍

[@krugersafariandbeyond]

Most welcome my friend, always appreciate you watching 🙏🦁

[@gatorduran3288]

The vets need to check Tank, Blondie and Split Nose for TB!

[@smetlenn6480]

Personally I think that the Mazithi males are doing ok, i think that it’s just not easy to find a lion when you have no idea we’re they are, the Kruger is big and I think that you also need luck and be on the correct location and correct time to see them. The Mazithi males are also a strong duo and I don’t think they wouldn’t doubt to go for a fight with the S21 males. As for Tank I have no idea how he is doing at the moment, today I saw a old sighting of him from close by…he is such a magnificent lion in so many ways🦁 fierce and powerful. Great video😁 the voice that tells everything is such a good thing ! 👍

[@judithcampbell1705]

Is Tank okay? Beautiful footage, Thank you I respect all wildlife and have a place in my heart for lions especially ❤

[@krugersafariandbeyond]

Then you are at the right place my friend 🦁😁. Hope he'll be ok, really really hope so🙏

[@gatorduran3288]

Wow it could be that Tank and Blondie have TB!

[@JASON19000]

Maybe a new lion coalition has made a lot of lions move territory

[@kickapootrackers7255]

Fascinating times indeed. Tank looks weak, hope he gets some good food in him. Thanks, watch your topknot out there.

[@krugersafariandbeyond]

Always welcome 😁🦁

[@jimh.412]

Thanks for the update my man. So sad what's happen to Tank. Hopefully he pulls through and the Mighty G-Male Lions rule again!!🦁🦁🦁.

[@krugersafariandbeyond]

Always welcome my friend, i appreciate you watching 🙏😁🦁

[@patrickogara3734]

Its always better to have 3 lions then 2.Hopefully Tank can make a full recovery fast.I still believe Splitnose and Blondie can hold there own against any 2 lions, but they could use a couple off meals.Good video and its is surprising that so many lions seem to be heading there way.

[@krugersafariandbeyond]

I fully agree with your take Patrick. But they need Tank healthy, and back with them, if possible of course. Really hope they find each other soon. Because there's PLENTY of strange movement currently, from unknown males, young and old.

[@luispapi400]

I am happy tank is okay he just when to war solo !!! With out the help of his brother and he still has the crown!!!! He just need some rest some great meals and he would be ready for for the next war the good news he is back to family so they are together know, i think he knows hard times are approaching to is territory so hes gonna need to stay with his brother to defend is legacy and blood line!!!

[@edddeaton8591]

Great update my friend, and as always great footage, I do hate to hear of their poor health, lots of movement, prayers up for you and the lions

Is Tank back now?? He was pretty far away last I saw 😢

[@cryptoico2647]

Wow Tank 😢

[@Gypsy9339]

Sad, especially when a couple of months ago they were saying he was the largest male Lion in Kruger. I pray it's not another TB outbreak

[@krugersafariandbeyond]

😞🦁💔

[@broken_snail]

So with all these males roaming in the same area, why aren’t there any territorial fights yet?

[@Fadedecho1]

Hi you!! Wow much to think about here. Many options happening. Thoughts. All up in the air of sorts. So I suppose we wait and see. And get our updates. Hopefully all works out but kinda skeptical about it. Tc and stay safe my dear friend much love your way ❤️ 🤗🤗❤️

[@krugersafariandbeyond]

Hey ❤️. We can only wait and see indeed. Hope you are doing well? And hope you had a great Christmas? Take care of yourself ❤️

[@helengailtownsend2604]

Thank you for the update on our Lions It's sad to hear about Tank hopefully it's not TB but who knows for sure. Well I guess the old S21 males want the territory so Splitnose and Blondie has a choice to make either fight or flee and if they are not in good condition they should flee or bring the pride that Zaza and his brothers are in closer to them so Zaza and his brothers can help their fathers but unfortunately I don't see that happening. So we better be prepared for the worst especially with Tank not healthy to help them. The Kruger is fixing to have New King's not only with these prides but also Casper and his brothers territory because of the 6 Nkulhu males in their territory. We are going to lose a lot of males. Until the next video be safe, careful and drink lots of fluids to keep hydrated and God be with you and the family ☺️💖😇🙏

[@zone_Magazine_reporter]

mayambula males , not Nkulu males , but you are correct otherwise

[@helengailtownsend2604]

@@zone_Magazine_reporterthank you for bringing that to my attention I guess I was wrong on who the coalition was that was threatening Casper and his brothers. When someone points out to me I was wrong about it, I will admit that I was wrong. Thank you again for the information ☺️

Somebody help tank 😢 give him some food and medicine

[@jimh.412]

Yep poor Tank!!🦁

[@paulwells3689]

can the vets not check them to be sure its not TB? and if it is is there no vaccine or cure?

[@krismorrin7082]

I must admit I thought the gommos were going to be untouchable for some time due to them having decent numbers and being really big but with tank keep disappearing makes them vulnerable and quite easily taken out by another duo if they play it smart and timing their move. Hopefully they will all go their separate ways. It definitely seems that something is brewing and more than likely going to be some casualties but it’s a roll of the dice who is going to be the first side to suffer? Do you think zaza and the rest are ready for the challenges with big veterans yet? Veterans against the young guys who have the number advantage? P.S all the best my friend and keep up the good work

[@krugersafariandbeyond]

Me too Kris. I honestly thought they were untouchable, until i saw Tank with my own eyes, going backwards in physical condition. It's scary, to know that such a large and beautiful lion, can also deteriorate rapidly. Extremely sad. Zaza and his four brothers can definitely start to challenge, having the numbers advantage. I really think they can. Just hope they don't finish the job, and take the Vurhami pride. That's a possibility too. You are most welcome my friend, i always appreciate you watching and enjoying my videos 🙏😁🦁

[@buffiesilver]

You know there is not one thing promised for us, idk how this is going to go down but this im afraid is going to lead to a big mess. I hope all can veer away from trouble. Im not liking not seeing Tank. I miss him very bad. I hope he can fully recover, if he cant, they May lose their territory. Such an unpredictable life. Really worrying times. Thank you for sharing this with us its greatly appreciated. Unti next time Peace love and positive energy your way.

[@kristieblu164]

I'm with you Buffie, It breaks my heart to see Tank loose condition so quickly, but they have come back from worse. Such a hard life for the Lions I think that is why I am so drawn to them, they are such a Mystery and so resilient even when the odds are against them, and still sometime come out on top❤. Hope you have a wonderful New Year, geez can you believe it's nearly 2024😮. So glad I found KSAB and such a wonderful group of people such as yourself❤. Stay blessed always❤❤.

@@kristieblu164 awe your so kind thank you. Yes I am thankful I found this group of individuals that can communicate with like minded people who have love and respect. Ikr 2024, what, already? I will not tell a lie, Christmas this year snuck up on me. My dad used to say it's just another day, you know ANY holiday!! Guess it has stuck with me. 😂 We used to laugh how we would tell others, our dad would work us like a one armed individual hanging wall paper, on christmas day😂 It's still funny. I hope you have a very happy new year and I hope with it comes good health and wealth your way. Many blessings to you my friend.

But we have the memories that will last the rest of my life❤. And yes you have a Blessed New Year🤗🤗❤

[@kristieblu164]

Hey there so glad to hear An update❤. Could it be the Nkulhus are causing all the Havoc and moving all the Males South into Kruger's? That seems to be the Super Pride is causing all sorts of problems, and Im praying it's not poachers🙏. And if it is TB is there nothing the Rangers can do? I sure do miss Our Boy Tank being robust and healthy, Life in the Wild can change so dramatically it's hard to keep up❤. Thank you for all you do my dear friend, wishing you a Wonderful New Year's 🎉, be safe and blessed always, and see you on the next one.❤💜💙💚❤🤠🙏

[@krugersafariandbeyond]

My dearest friend, it's definitely possible. The Nkuhlu's are causing havoc in many areas, known areas, so I'm not ruling that out at all. But, there's plenty of strong lions around, that can be an equal threat, namely the old S21 warriors. Things are definitely changing, that's for sure. Hope you have a great day ahead my friend, sending you love and positive vibes ❤️❤️. May your new year, be the best ever, filled with nothing but love ❤️❤️

[@holgerawakens7784]

very unsettling times. Question - is it possible that this movement south by all of these unknown males is because they are being driven out of the far north by the Nkulhus? I have been fearful that the Nkulhus are going to be the next Mapogos. And perhaps even the S21 males sense the danger and that's why they have moved. I don't know that much about lions but I would guess that in regards to the Gomondwanes, if there life is now stressed from morning to night that can probably cause health issues.

[@krugersafariandbeyond]

That's a very good question Holger. That's definitely a possibility, and the reason why there's more movement down south. As for the Gomondwane males health, it's also definitely possible. And by looking at their overall weight currently, they are definitely FAR from relaxed. There's PLENTY of movement here right now, from unknown males, young and old.

[@user-dy2sl7rl5u]

Tank was of mating he always done it and wen mating weight loss normal split nose blonde and tank will hold strong there sons will be there and females are very strong strong
