*I’ve always loved Mandevu he’s beautiful, fair, kind to the cubs and does a great job protecting the entire pride.*

[@worknprogress78]

And he's as beautiful as ever. I love Ncila. He's a survivor and I hope he gets a pride that deserves him.

[@genekruithoff5795]

It's been a tough road for him . I'm glad to see he's coming back. I believe he will prove himself again.

[@genekruithoff5795]

Lambela looks rough , oh no , I can only hope a few good meals will bring him back.

[@AngelPerez-vo7nn]

I agree bro 🦁👑

[@Emmss_]

Just let Ncila back into the pride already lionesses. You all need the added protection. 💖🦁

[@NeilGastonguay]

The injured lion's wounds are healing nicely; good video.

[@cubistone]

Been wondering how he fared with the snare wound. Good to see he has been steadily healing. Shameful what happened to him. Thank you for the update.

[@stephenroberts4019]

Ncila yeah boi good to see you looking much better.

[@PAVEL-JAKL]

Glad his wound heal nicely..🦁

[@patriciacatino8237]

So happy to hear this and looking beautiful and healthy as felt sad when he had such a bad injury❤

[@bedinabebe4521]

Ncile is a tough, determined, patient survivor, goodthat hes gaining condition. It's terrible that the others have gone so far as to attack him. Mandevu looks great, but these guys would benefit from a greater bond. Great to hear mention of King Red Road. The Cheetahs look Elegantly Beautiful and the ever brave Jackalis too Cute.

[@markharrison2326]

Awesome sighting Glad to see him looking so good. Thanks guys for everything you do to help save these beautiful animals.

[@AngelPerez-vo7nn]

I agree bro 🦁👑

[@user-ks5ub6nm1d]

Great to see Ncila recovering so well at last His acceptance by all members of the pride is a matter of time, and I hope the new cubs and their mother will not be a source of difficulty or failure in the matter, because Mandevu and the pride need Ncila just as he needs them, especially since Lambile is suffering and his health is not reassuring, and we may (unfortunately) lose him at any time Therefore, the full acceptance of Ncila with the pride alongside Mandevu would be a matter of utmost importance to the future of pride and cubs

[@emancipatedlionm9215]

Oh. lovely Ncila still been pushed away... such a tragedy; soooooo glad he's gotten muuuuuuch better; his lovely mane has grown out, he's looking better 🦁💥 wonderful pride but they need to allow Ncila his rights. Thanks for showing.

[@falanajerido875]

I love him Ncile . he got to get his position back, and it won't be easy but he will. He look good i praying for him love him they need to watch kapona mother she is horrible she need help. Great video thank you for sharing

[@eleanorferguson9857]

Yes I agree

[@eleanorferguson9857]

Love those cats

[@jenniferross4646]

A Welcomed Sighting & Update! Great news about Ncila and the new cubs. It's wonderful to see Ncila's improvement and him with Lambile and this portion of the pride as protectors while the others seek out the lioness with the newbies. It's difficult to watch Lambile go up and down, he's such a trooper, hanging on as best as he can. He's lucky to have Ncila as a loyal brother staying close by to help him. Hopefully, he'll get some good meals in the coming days to help him out. Mandevu is looking great and doing amazingly at protecting the pride and territory. Overall, the pride members look to be in good condition and I wish them the best.

[@kevinstandow2943]

Alistair , Read Road is your Boy as you say his name it’s so awesome and you respect this boy with multiple opportunities to come back and being a single male he knows when to run or fight ! Bravo 👏! Cheers Red Road Male , I enjoy him especially with that one of many wounds that gave him temporarily disability at the time we did not how it would play out and his subadult males he let know red road is NOT going anywhere soon , Alistair did you raise red road as a abandoned cub that slept by you on your pillow to develop such a special bond and relationship ? Being in Natural Resources and been working with wildlife indigenous to the Sierra Nevada range in the Sierras I have seen some colleagues find and nurse animals to birds or many other natural things in our Calif mountains , Need to make a video of you and Red Road from the early days as a cub to you wrestling with this magnificent lion at these times , It would do quite well ! The Lion Whisper ! Kevin

[@ThirstyOtter]

Glad he's doing great. hopefully back in the pride fully soon he deserves it

A Great start to 2023 with this beautifully 👌 film video 👍.

[@calvinm1866]

That Mandevu looks fantastic.

[@jimjones4189]

Mandeva better not kick Nicla out of the coalition because Lambile doesn't look like he's long for this world. If the pride does kick Nicla out it could very well be the downfall of Mandeva. Alone male lion is never a good idea

Happy New Year to all at Tinswalo ... 3:16 Great capture of the Korhaan, Nice to see the face and name of the back-ground bird calls. Love the lions and commentary but it's the little details like this that make Tinswalo videos so special. .. looking forward to more amazing nature viewing for 2023, Cheers!

[@romelanaidoo9719]

Wow, really appreciate all the guys out there... Who make better lives for all these lions... Their love and patience are just awesome.. 🦁🦁🍀🍀🌳🍁🦁💚💙❣️❣️

I hope they fully accept him in again so he can get a good cuddle from family he’s had it rough

[@tatepearce7898]

I love all of these boys and the mbiris

[@alwaysfourfun1671]

Horrible snares! Wonderful what you did! Beautiful reintroduction. What an intricate social interactions! Fantastic shots!

[@styx5131]

Ncila is in overall better condition than Lambile… his atrophied back leg is a bit concerning. Hope nothing but the best for these boys going forward.

[@auntiez4917]

Yep - Ncili looks amazing after all that he's been through!

[@jimjones4189]

Lambile's has suffered from TB for years. It's obvious by inability to gain weight along with his muscle atrophy back hip. Animal biologist claim muscle atrophy of the back hip is a clear sign of advanced T.B in big cats. The same health issues affected two brothers from the Tumbela coalition for years. Never gaining weight and the muscle atrification of the back hips lead to their deaths. A lot of times Young Lions like Lambile can overcome tuberculosis with regular feedings. Unfortunately T.B must affect some big cats more than others. What I've heard is the worst part that lions can possibly eat of a T.B infected Buffalo are the lungs. That's most likely why some Lions tuberculosis is worse than others. Eat the meat you have a chance, eat the lungs you're fucked.

[@styx5131]

@@jimjones4189 I agree 100%. I was just saying that in the last video about the Tumbelas, and Lambile. They had to have contracted it early on when they were still with the Nharu pride. There’s more lions infected with TB than most realize… it’s just their immune systems are more inept to fighting it.

[@jimjones4189]

@@styx5131 they had animal biologist back in 1987 that said 85% of the prides in Kruger national Park are infected with tuberculosis. Kruger rangers to this day are still giving out these figures. The entire problem originates from domesticated cattle transmitting the disease to water buffalo throughout the park. Fucking shame decimating the lion population because of some hamburger.

[@fourtyfive5620]

@@styx5131 I believe the two tumbella brothers also had FIV , so TB wouldve made it all the worse. and its been a concern that Lambille may have it (fiv) as it can be passed on thru genes, and their father is the one who is thought to have had it. Skorro Jr being sired by the healthier male, doesn't have the same health problems as his brothers. As u mentioned the TB being in the buffalo's lungs, all the organ meat is most treasured as u said, so the most dominants will have eaten that first. It's a twisted web. Praying Lambile pulls thru and I'm wrong

[@minavaan]

Excellent footage of the korhaan!

[@saltedllama2759]

As long as Ncila is still finding food, he will cover nicely.

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

For those who complain about messing with nature Shove it Snares are human caused not natural so helping him was spot on. Great Job. Nobody said anything that I know Of but Just in case

[@fillfinish7302]

beautiful cheetahs

[@jzkramer]

Mandevu and Red Road look alike, like the old boss Skorro Thanda Impi, their father

[@angelagardner5230]

bless him

[@junecat1597]

It was good of you to do him a solid and rescue him from the snare instead of letting him succumb to it. Cheers!👍🎉💖

[@sabbrah8365]

Glad to see Ncila💞getting better and better, I hope to see him soon side by side with his brothers. I would like to see Lambile💞standing up, his back leg is not a good sign...I hope he will be able to recover as he was at one time, I don't want Ncila's return to stress him out and leave him less food. A pleasure to see the son of Jr ❣️🌹in good shape as well as the other little ones, I also hope that they are all well. Mandevu💞 is handsome and the Cheetahs are beautiful💞 Thank you for the video🙂

[@janas.6507]

It's how they live..Ncile was dominant one of the three of them,ppl almost killed him with snares and put him back at least two years to heal properly,expelled from pride and he is battling again.Lambile have Tb and sadly it starts to show and taking its toll.Hard life but they don't give up 🦁💯❤️.

[@siosiri9129]

Ranger: Please, if possible, feed Ncila a good quality 'watermelon' (seeded) for its juice has healing properties and will be a refreshing sweet treat for his tongue and throat. Thanks.

[@Leopard_Lover]

Awwwww :( thanks for the update

[@Roscoe.P.Coldchain]

It’s really hard to see them kicked out of the pride but I’m sure he will gain size and become the king again...How old is he 4-5..? Thanks for looking after him and helping him out, he would have no doubt have died without ur intervention 👍❤

[@DHawk06]

No he’s 6 yrs old, he’s actually older then all his brothers, he came from a different pride, he’ll be 7yrs old before the other two brothers, he was the dominant male before the snare incident & medavu took over as dominant male just until ncile got better, however the pride & his brothers will regret turning their back on him, we haven’t seen the last of ncile

[@styx5131]

@@DHawk06 Lambile is from a different pride, not Ncile.

[@DHawk06]

@@styx5131 now ur speaking to something u knows nothing about, go do some research and u will c the story of tumbela’s males including ncila being from another pride and were the most dominant of the 4 before a brother disappeared around the time the mbiri males was present and the remaining three took over the mbiri pride

Can someone identify the animal making the noise when the jackal appears near the end? Is it a bird?

[@noylakers9755]

What's wrong with the other male with Ncila? His condition seems to be getting worse every time I see him. Shouldn't he have higher food rights than Ncila? Ncila condition looks fine.

[@calvinm1866]

Someone said he might have tb. He looks very sickly.

[@jimjones4189]

He's most likely been fighting TB for years. Animal Biologist claim one sign of advanced T.B is the muscle atrophy in the back hip. It's the same thing with the Tumbela coalition. Two of the brothers suffered with TB for years never gaining weight, and had the same muscle atrophy of the back hips.

[@fukatrumume9750]

It’s comforting to hear Ncila has been getting better. But how barbaric can humans be to snare a lion or any wildlife that behaves instinctually and struggles to survive.? Humans are the worst predators that wreak havoc on other species. We encroach their habitats & destroy nature. Come on park/reserve authorities, stop exploiting the lions & wildlife. Implement tangible policies, educational programs & enforcement to actually conserve & protect these magnificent beings. Ban canned farming. Decimate trophy killers, poachers, and wildlife sadists for the betterment of humanity.
