The Biggest Lion Pride in the Kruger National Park

This massive Lion Pride at full strength consists of around 30 lions known as the Transport dam Mega pride.
The Transport dam mega pride is currently one of the biggest lion prides in the Kruger National park South Africa. Controlled by their 2 pride males, with one of the Transport dam males being easy to recognise with a big cut in his nose. When both pride males are present the pride there has been reports of over 30 lions at sightings. At this sighting we counted around 20 lions as they crossed infront of our vehicle with the youngest members and 2 pride males not present. The pride covers a big territory with lots of mouths to feed. We saw them on the H1-1 on this occasion north east of Transport dam. They are frequently seen between the H1-1, S65 and H3 and enjoy spending time at Transport dam on the H1-1 and Kwaggaspan on the H3.
The two pride males are spending less time with the mega pride and are more frequently seen with 3 lionesses from the renosterkoppies pride.

It's rare to see this mega pride in wildlife. You can imagine how wild beasts thrived in ancient times without human interference.

[@lynncrawford5613]

Yeah, elephants traveled 200 plus a hundred years ago. Good observation.

[@xneapolisx]

To think that as late as the 1970s there were 250K lions still living in the wild; numbers that would make any wildlife biologist/lover of nature howl with joy today!!! Current lion population estimates range from 30 000 to as few as 16,000 lions living freely. Horrible 😢

[@beroukhiaeliana2435]

Si il n'y avait pas autant d'être humains ils auraient pas diminuer si vite

[@josh-gw2ee]

Yeah wild dog packs used to be 100 strong

[@PAVEL--JAKL]

Thats a lot of hungry lions..🦁

[@sabbrah8365]

She is beautiful to see the Transport Dam pride💞and to know that they are not all there is incredible...it must be something to see them all together. The sub adults are handsome💞it seems to be a pride close to each other, I hope the rest of the pride is well as well as the Transport Dam males💞(which I would have liked to see) and I also hope that they continue to visit this pride from time to time… Thank you for the video🙂

[@angeloclubmix]

Wow lot of awesome Queens, probably 2 to 3 males

[@thomasgumersell9607]

Such a majestic and beautiful sight to witness. Truly one of the largest prides of African Lions on the Savanah. Incredibly healthy and they must control a decent amount of territory. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨

[@michaeldamico9592]

How awesome…!!! Everyone looks so healthy and strong….!! Lots of mouths to feed but lots of supreme lionesses…!! I’m sure their hunts go well..!!HOPE THEY ALL STAY TOGETHER AND RULE THE LANDS…!!!🐾🦁🦁🦁🦁🐾 🐾😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻🐾

That's more like a herd of lions instead of a pride. I counted around 35 lions and that means there must be 40 plus. Never knew lion prides could outnumbered herds of elephants, cape buffalo, zebras, antelope, dogs and hyenas. Hope they keep an eye on this pride so we can see more of this majestic pride.

[@Tara_P_Rose]

Wow there’s TONS of them!! And even tho that’s a lot of mouths to feed they still all look very healthy & well fed! The Mayanbula’s almost have 30 strong, they have about 17 cubs, 6 lionesses & 3 males (I might be off but it’s something like that lol) I would love to see more of this pride. They are absolutely breathtaking. Gorgeous!!!! I love them all!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@falanajerido875]

Beautiful but need some cubs I saw one similar to this, but they had cubs and 30 all together however great family

[@Tara_P_Rose]

@@falanajerido875yes it looks like there’s only sub adults & no cubs. The 2 pride males don’t spend much time with this pride, they’ve been busy with some females in the Renosterkoppies pride. So maybe that’s why there’s no cubs.

[@Tara_P_Rose]

@@falanajerido875I wonder why they all ran away at the end? Something definitely disturbed them.

[@falanajerido875]

The lioness dont get alot of credit feeding and protecting all them off springs wow.

[@bobbybright9334]

What a coalition force too

[@carlosmirandahamalainen4571]

For having to feed so many mouths, it seems that the lioness mothers do it very well. It helps a lot to that pride that there is no lion cub since everyone after the lionesses are already young lions about to enter adulthood.

[@jacquespetijon8873]

[@cathimummery6873]

Thanks for sharing

[@julieamir506]

Do you know why did the lions running and hiding behind the bushes at the end of the video?

[@carolgale]

Most likely the truck is making them scared. I’ve seen this several times and I’m figuring poachers

[@funguykel]

Maybe the King is approaching and he's pissed of no one has made a kill.

[@carolgale]

@@funguykel no they’d greet him . Listen you can hear a vehicle

Incredible

[@rosesippel2932]

What a beautiful pride sub adult males are gorgeous mayanbula pride is just as big

[@funguykel]

There must be a great source of food in the area. Otherwise, they would probably split into separate prides.

[@peggymckenzie6754]

Wow! That's a lot of lions. Weren't you afraid with all of them coming at you? "Yikes let's get out of here".

it is a wonderful sight. a spectacle worth appreciating. It's a pretty big pride. although I see something strange: no cubs! 🤔

Absolutely stunning. I tried to count them but couldn't do it . Does anyone know how many there was !!?

[@glenmalesa8902]

So beautiful and majestic. Such a pity their home has been reduced to Piccadilly Circus in order for them to survive.

[@margaritarosaruizlopez1803]

Guau 😮 que belleza 🥰

[@Animal_walk]

They never miss a meal

[@Nurkamil167]

How can they survive when the dry season is long? If they can communicate in a language that both of them can understand, I would suggest that they join in migrating following mammals, including zebras, forest buffalo/bulls, etc.

There is normally too many lionesses born to each mother, I think natural selection make it possible for a lioness to also survive those first few months.

Is there a male lion in this pride?

[@priceblack5744]

I'm guessing the two who were not spooked to run away were the matriarchs

[@alexrose4687]

I think there were countless mega prides in ancient time.

[@vickil6325]

I counted up to 13?? That many cats and something spooked them and they took off running away??

man a pride like that can wipe out an entire species

Ud thing initially they'd be eating on demand but looking at them it's more a case of more means more mouths to feed. I don't think they take down more than an one at Time and then it's game on for one morsel

I'd like to know how many lionesses are in the pride, that's the long-term measure of pride size as cubs are born, die or grow up. I saw at least half a dozen, though adolescent females may not be easily distinguished from the adults while the scruffy teenage boys can.
