Nine Little Lion Cubs in the Rain! | The Virtual Safari

We find both the Mbiri and Nharu Pride on a VERY rainy morning.

[@rachelschwebach7566]

Lions are the only truly social cats living in large family groups. I love how tactile lions are with each other. The cubs need a good meal.

[@Sunshinexoxo4795]

and soon too

[@bonnytexas6527]

It i, ,, s most upsetting to see that the younger cubs are at the point of starvation. Little, babies to what, a year at most need all they can eat to survive. Most especially before the drought season causes acute hunger throughout the pride. Haveever seen lionesses starve their cubs when there was still prey available! Neil (comma - sorry there was no way to separate comma from the emojis - grrr) have you ever seen this before?

[@bonnytexas6527]

Please pardon typos and no spaces. Yet again.

Heartwarming reunion of the cubs with their Mom or Auntie. Hope the pride makes a catch soon so they will all be fed. Thanks for sharing this great video.

All of them looks hungry. I pray they'll find a BIG MEAL very soon to fill their hungry stomach.

Wonderful video guys” the lioness calling then cuddling the cubs was just great. Well filmed that’s so rare.

[@kimberlylopez9402]

Love the Map - very helpful. Loved seeing the Nharu With their cubs. Audio and reunion were awesome. I really hope those babies get some food. Mbiri look great. Tintswalo males is a great name. Thanks Tintswalo.

[@zamzamahmed8139]

These guys are born to do this job. So calm and caring to the animals and nature. They are true black African men though they seem white. It is their calm and collected voices even in the hardest to watch moment that made me love this channel. MashAllah. They also know their stuff without showing off. Not surprised why this channel is growing so fast. Thank you and keep the good work😷

I sure the youngest cubs get to eat soon!

[@craigjonesISno.1]

Those young lions show better organization and teamwork than the ones in Detroit...

[@douglaswilson95]

That would be something interesting to catch on video how the lioness commands cubs to stay put while they hunt. How they know not to follow I dint think thats ever been captured on video

[@Adventure_Quan]

I've watched alot of lion videos and I haven't seen this either. I agree, would be a nice find.

[@caseG80]

Watched a leopard give her cub what sounded very similar to contact call command and he just stayed put as she walked off. Was cool to see all those cubs on the move to find the lioness

[@Adventure_Quan]

@@caseG80 I've seen that with cheetahs while their hunting for 30 minutes but Lioness sometimes goes hunt for days without returning.

@@tr1x243 Thank you for the response. Looks like a grim situation for him.

[@azinegg]

I’ve got a question guys, as the cubs and mums are really affectionate together, do male lions ever visit their mothers again, after dad kicks them out?

[@ross_spirou_photography]

At times they do hang around the territory for that is the area they know but eventually they leave and as they get their confidence

[@ochoaguillermo638]

Well I think that is a good question. I am sure they recognize their mothers, but from what I’ve seen if they can come close to any pride that means the male lions are no threat. I have never seen or heard of a story where the sons of a male lion return after getting kicked outs. The male lions their fathers ether die of age for being old or if they are not that old their time runs out of with that pride and they move on ether they get kicked out or the male lions have interest in other prides and leave them. So if the sons are alone in their pride they were born in at they would take over like any other pride. The Rollercoster male lions had sons in the Selatie pride 5 to be exact well that made it to adult hood. 2 stayed and the younger 3 of the 5 left took over the Sand River pride. They were called the Golfcourse male lions. They interbreeds the two that stayed and they had the 5 Selatie male lions who were interbred and were the ones that killed Mr.T well 4 out of the 5. There was one younger one that died he was to young. So the Golf course male lions stayed in their pride because their fathers the Rollercoster male lions left the Selatie pride for the Syxt pride and the Sparta pride. Then MR.T and Kinky Did face maybe perhaps one of their fathers the Rollercoster male lions. Let’s assume the last Rollercoster male lion was the father to Mr.T which he did look alike like him but they’ve never seen him as their father the Mapogos and Rollercoster male lions have been competing against eachother for years even the Rollercoster male lions competed against the West street male lions but I think that had to do with that they didn’t spend time with them so they might not of have seen them as their fathers but just in the way of staying alive and surviving. For Kinky Tails and Mr.T they never saw the Rollercoster male lions as their fathers or even half brothers they probably didn’t even have a clue and they didn’t care they didn’t grow up together. So in a way Mr.T along with Kinky tail because of taking the Sparta pride from the Rollercoster male lions resulted in the last Rollercoster male lion diying because he was too old. I read that when Mr.T and Kinky Tail where trying to take the Sparta pride Mr.Ts mother might of gotten in his way and injured her killing her. I don’t know how much of that is true but is what I read might of been exaggerated maybe he didn’t kill her but is what I read. So they might have a bond with their moms and I am sure they love their moms and vise versa but they are all trying to survive. The split Tsalala pride killed their grandma I think that helped them resided them into adult hood but all ties were lost when they grew up and she went back to the Tsalala pride and they killed her. So I guess if they are not apart of the same group or pride or coalition at the moment after they mean nothing to each other especially if they have cubs I’m assuming. So Mr.T and Kinky tail went back to their mothers pride and they went not for her but for the other lionesses and when they try killing the prides cubs she try defending them and he killed her is what is said but who knows seems pretty dark. Then they both Mr.T and Kinky Tail stoped and mated with their sisters or cousins and had cubs. But those same lionesses were might of been already interbred. The Rollercoster male lions might of been father to Mr.T so when he came back if Mr.T had sisters doesn’t that mean the Rollercoster male lion had cubs with a niece or daughter? They all interbred so I think with lions is best they never go back especially male lions. They will still try and take over and kill their cubs.

Very enjoyable, even calming and soothing. The soft calls from the lions & cubs, the falling rain then the rest of the wildlife & nature sounds. Couldn't ask for much more!

If you don’t mind me asking, what are the lion dynamics in the area? Since there’s a lot of lions going on, are the mbiri males/ mbiri prides close to Othawa male / mangheni pride? Or not at all

[@greatbearfromthenorth9944]

No. The othawa male and mhangenis are sabi sands another reserve in far south. The mbiris are in North at manyeleti reserve. They are around 70 kilometers far from each other.

[@styx5131]

Mbiri's are in the Northern Manyeleti, and Othawa male + Mhangeni's are more or less in the Northwestern Sabi Sands. They're seperated by the Red rd male/Nharu pride, Dark Mane Avoca/Talamati pride, and Blondie + Mohawk Avocas/Nkuhuma pride. The Young Mbiri/Tintswalo males were seen in the Northern Sabi Sands a while back though, but that was before Junior passed.
