This is by far the best African wildlife channel on KZbin. Astounding footage, allowing the animals and scenery speak for themselves without any annoying and distracting background music. Long may you continue

[@jamesjamesnet]

So glad I found your channel. It is amazing. Thanks for sharing from South Florida USA..

[@donnacollingridge5709]

This is the way all videos should look.Excellent footage up close. Colors are so beautiful.Other videos looks like the wildlife is miles away.🎉

[@falanajerido875]

Great video, the leopardess is very healthy and nice to look at. Mbiri pride looks great as well. The orpen male is getting bigger.. and the two younger males are doing well. We will see what becomes of the Orpen male.thanks for sharing

I still hope Red Road Male will take over the Mbiri pride. Would be good in terms of genetic variety both for Mbiri as well as Nharu pride

[@HNeko-wi4ii]

Red Road is potentially the son of Skorro Thanda Impi, the former pride males of the Mbiri Pride. So he's possibly the half brother of some of the Thandi Impi daughters and uncle to their offspring. No DNA tests so no way to confirm. He's also the son of a Birmingham Pride lioness so a cousin to Matimba and Orpen Daughters in the Mbiri pride. That's 100% confirmed. He is still less related than the two nearest coalitions, the Mbiri and Tintswalo Males, who are, as you probably know, all sons of the Mbiri Pride. Ross Males would be great candidates, but they're unlikely to ever leave the Birmingham Pride and they are pretty old. We need some Krueger lions to show up.

@@HNeko-wi4iii thought RRM sired by the giraffe/avoca males when they took control of the Birmingham Pride from the old Birmingham Males

[@ieatemcees]

​@@evosebastiansicat4541There are photos of Skorro and his brother with the Pride and RRM as a cub. The lionesses probably mated with both coalitions. The father could be any of them.

[@biankamuckenschnabl6958]

I think it is to much for a single male, when so many koalitions are around. Red Road should not spread himself too thin. That can be fatal. And I would hate seeing him die, like the Othawa Male, who was the most beautiful lion I've ever seen. He died so young that he couldn't spread his genes. 😢 He should have stayed with his pride.

[@emancipatedlionm9215]

Interesting sighting 💥🦁 Orpen male has grown so handsomely-well the guardians are now playing house in some other location-,Orpen male n Mbiri are some how related💥 no guardian male to drive him out of the pride so🧐🤔 ..wishing them safety..thanks for sharing this lovely greenery, beautiful 🐆along with loud bird sounds💥

[@MauroMeneguzzi]

Belo avistamento 😊

[@MrContender25]

Do you know if the orpen male has produced any cubs as of yet with the mbiri lionesses?

[@bedinabebe4521]

The Orpen Male Junior Nkuhuma and his partner Buddy died of Anthrax. They sired the 2 Subadults with the Mbiri Pride who were adopted when their son's the Tintswalos joined them.

[@MrLoesoe]

the Mbiri lionesses are his mothers, sisters and cousins, I believe. They are all related. He might be capable of getting offsping with some of them but really he should leave the pride, it would be much better in terms of genetic variety

[@ahmetaldanmaz1617]

@@MrLoesoe Orpen male is step brothers right Mandevu and Ncile right? I wish he could join their coalition. He will have a hard time on his own.

[@MrLoesoe]

@@ahmetaldanmaz1617 yeah more or less.. Or step dads.. Orpen male does have younger (half) brothers maybe they can go with him

[@tintswalovirtualsafari]

No, he has not shown any form of wanting to mate

[@thomasriches4807]

Why did mandevu and ncile leave all that time ago?

[@The_Editor89]

They are sons of the females in this pride and have also taken another pride which they seem to prefer

[@buffiesilver]

Male lions will by instinct want to spread their genes it's built in their DNA. If you notice they will stay with a coalition for a while and after a few years they will either expand their territory by taking over another pride or just leave that pride and take over neighboring pride.

[@Crazeeyeet]

Are the Tintswalo males the fathers of these Mbiri sub-adults?

[@buffiesilver]

Buddy and Nkuhuma Jr sired the subs if I'm not mistaken.

[@Crazeeyeet]

@@buffiesilver Are either of them still alive?

[@kylemisac2492]

​@@buffiesilverI don't consider young orpen male a sub anymore is 4 and really need leave the pride go nomadic.

[@buffiesilver]

@@kylemisac2492 thats right. He is ready to go but he never really had a father figure around. Be cause there was time in between his father passing and really the Tintswallo males was never really around to show him the ropes but his instincts will kick in soon I think. That's going to be a dangerous time for him and I'm a little concerned for him.
