[@leerabulan8280]

Thank you Mala Mala for this wonderful update on the Nkuhumas and Avocas. I hope for those cubs to survive to maturity. Great to see Mohawk and Blondie spending time with their cubs. 3 more buffalo meals would probably cure their mange I hope

I saw the Nkuhumas on another channel. I saw that they had fed recently. Two buffaloes within 48 hours of each other. Mohawk had his lion's share. The scene with the hyenas eatting, vultures waiting and the black-back jackal pacing was great. I liked your angles. The ending with the lions silhouetted with setting light was beautiful.

[@bellemartinez5644]

The difference of Nkuhuma pride and Kambula pride are so great, when Nkuhuma is feeding they let the cubs eat. Both Avoca Males are quite tolerant with their cubs. Unlike Kambula when they had feeding frenzy still after a meal cubs still looks skinny and you will notice the ribs of the cubs still visible. In Nkuhuma pride they let the cubs eat. God bless these two prides. I hope and pray they always get a good meal.

[@mitchellvonwald2149]

This is my very first time to make any kind of comments... Lions have always been my Favorite Big Cats and from the videos I’ve seen when I first started watching I have been Truly amazed & sadden by some I’ve seen I had never known the brutality of the life of Lions until I had seen Lions behaving Badly... Jeremy Irons was narrating a National Geographic on Lions it was the first one I watched this is where I saw Lions fighting a male & female had been attacked she was injured but survived her pride male was found to be taking his last breathe as I watched his head dropped to the ground my Heartbeat skipped a few beats as tears streamed down my face just as now it was hard to take I don’t know how You guys do it... it must pull at your heart strings I won’t watch any more Lions year & rip each other apart... Before I finish these lines...I would move to South Africa in a heartbeat if I could just to be out there with All of U and see what You see every day thank You for what you do for us...

[@chaimshmulewitz8027]

Great footage, thanks for sharing. Interesting how the Nkuhumas seem to kill more buffalo than the Kambulas even though it’s a smaller pride. Do the hyenas actually eat the bone or are they just getting to the marrow inside?

[@MalaMalaGameReserve]

Both! And the Nkuhuma pride actually has more lionesses (8) but numbers doesn’t necessarily dictate prey of choice. The Eyrefield pride of a few years ago - when they were 3 lionesses - killed more buffalo than the other 2 prides combined.
