Tree-Climbing Lions - Londolozi TV

[@londolozigamereserve]

Both the tailless lionesses (a mother and daughter) had their tails bitten off by hyenas in separate incidents about 5 yrs apart.

Londolozi Game Reserve Thanks for the info.

Londolozi Game Reserve What's the use of tail?

[@leopardprint2860]

@Robert Lee tail is good for balance.

[@vishaltmz3275]

the tip of the tail is used while hunting to give out visual signals to other lioness during the stalking part of the hunt. Same with the ears tips(the black markings)

[@sreeammu5989]

The hyenas got injured while biting off lioness tail?

[@KatherineUribe-1]

Poor Mum Tailless is gone, but I saw her Tailless daughter not long ago during a live televised drive out of Djuma. The Tsalala pride is still alive mostly due to the efforts of Tailless lioness! She's a strong leader, keeping them from starvation and disbandment. I admire her strength a great deal, and I know she got that determination from her mother.

Katherine, did that sound like Byron to you ? It did to me

Just in case anyone ever thought it would be safe to climb a tree to escape a lion...

[@duwaneabdiofficial6444]

I realy thought before this

[@styx5131]

This video's one for the archives... Both legendary tailless Tsalala females, and the day Hip-scar injured himself.

[@andyreasoner5289]

First time I see heavy male lion able to climb a tree so high!

[@edwinreveron870]

Andy Reasoner Bengal tigers are heavier and they could climb trees better...

[@jamesdunn9714]

@@edwinreveron870 A male Bengal is on average about 570 pounds, so yes quite a bit larger than a male lion's average weight of about 420 pounds, that said I doubt the Bengal tiger is a better climber as they are so large.

[@edwinreveron870]

@@jamesdunn9714 -There're many videos on KZbin that show Bengal tigers climbing trees, with more ease, better than lions, but not quite like leopards, here take a look... -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGq2eGWQecqVbMU

[@jenniferross8793]

Well Done Lioness! I Loved Watching The Big Impressive Male Climb The Tree! It Is Probably Better To Catch A Meal And Get Some Meat!

[@royalpython1736]

@@jamesdunn9714 570lbs is on the heavier side for Bengals. Average is more like 470lbs.

[@londolozigamereserve]

Yes, the Tailless lionesses of the Tsalala Pride

[@mabuaspom1740]

but what happened to their tails?

[@occam5123]

What amazing footage.

[@rocconof]

Thiis video is a magnificent document. This is the exactly moment when Hip Scar Majingilane damage his hips, and never recover. Amazing we have this on video.

[@TheThinker792]

Really ?

[@rocconof]

@@TheThinker792 yes

[@rvnwy7261]

I remember hearing somewhere that leopards were the only big cats able to descend a tree head first. albeit shittily, a lion did manage to do it as well, which means a jaguar and tiger, both cats being much more arboreal than the lion, can do it as well.

[@atlaslion5128]

If it's a cat, it can climb

[@jeffer2350]

Two differences on leopard versus lion are that a leopard is light enough to climb branches that would never hold a lion. Leopards also have lots of experience falling out of trees since they aren't always successful hoisting their prey on the first attempt.

[@falanajerido875]

Never underestimate a lion

[@SubparPanda]

Cool stuff! And do I spot two tail-less lions in this pride? :O

[@londolozigamereserve]

Yes

[@rastafari.d.culture9734]

Mr lion , too heavy for the job ,better leave it for Mr Leopard

[@momthegreatest]

The Lion cannot be blamed as it had neither checked its weight nor seen itself in a mirror..

[@lewismpangala927]

Big headed

[@bladefrost7421]

Over 570 lbs of royal heavyweight climbing the tree!

[@momthegreatest]

The Boss identifies a lead.Tries .Then as he cannot do,gives the lead to his team.They do it.Then Boss comes and takes a big share.

[@donniev8181]

They don't call it the lion's share for nothing.

[@ПочтальонПечкин-п7т]

А почему у двух львиц хвостов нету? Лев наверное отгрыз с голодухи...

[@jeffer2350]

That was a great video - very interesting watch

[@822003]

The leopard had most of it anyway, so HOORAY for the leopard.

[@londolozigamereserve]

[@bushlover4268]

Never thought a lion would go that high up into a tree!

[@falanajerido875]

For food yes nakuru lions from kenya all climb trees

[@hndrxuntilidie]

Lol. Now, this is something to be really nervous about--lion climbing trees.

[@marc0321]

never seen two girls with bitten off tails in the same pride.. thats crazy

[@lindaartis2200]

The lion looked beutiful witout a tail

[@CountryWV]

have been seeing quite a lot of the tsalala pride since the matimbas pushed them out of Londolozi. I guess the Birmingham males pushed the matimbas out of their territory. and the matimbas have pushed the tslala pride out od their territory because of the 3 young males. the tsalala pride had a run in with the Nkuhuma pride a week or two ago. then last week the tsalala pride had a run in with the Birmingham males and one of the young males hasn't been seen since that night. hope he is ok & just seperates from them & not dead

[@praveenscats5484]

C00l video, What happened to their tails?

[@rishikesh2598]

Who cut their tails

[@ChongLi99]

* Lion thinking * - Why is so easy for that damn leopards?

[@falanajerido875]

I seen this on quiet eagle safari

[@SpoonTeggy]

2 lioness no tail?

[@isaz597]

its a left over carcass from a leopard kill. it had finished with it lol

[@edwinreveron870]

Yeah, it only had meat on the head and toothpick front legs...

[@KurusakitoC]

How often do lions attempt. I watched a video where a lion broke their neck or something attempting this.

[@beachbunny7256]

That was totally amazing!!

[@iftikharhusain6084]

This video reveals that the days are gone when lions were not able to climb the trees. Now they easily climb a tree and snatch the food from leopards.

[@chiyenyumba7135]

Those were days of plenty before human greed took over.

[@oladipupodurotimi4754]

That tree is not very vertical lol. They struggle with real straight ones 😂

[@s.d.h.3t981]

the king hiP scar

[@ryalnz]

how come they lost thier tails

[@SelvaKumar-jq7or]

From tiger we can escape only if we able to climb half of the tree and from lion we have to climb top of tree but if its leopard no tree is choice

[@WildlifeObsessed]

Who came up wit those Names ? Fanaticism remains boundless.

[@Catitu_na_ceva]

O que a fome não faz ............parabéns ......

[@GG_Booboo]

Lions are in no way as elegantl and adapted as leopards and climbing up and down trees! That male was risking injury which could even have led to his death had he fallen and badly sprained or even broken/fractured a limb

[@falanajerido875]

Lion climb trees

[@kikaa1884]

Lion back legs are weak look at the it 🙁🙁

What happened to their tails???

[@leerabulan8280]

Does anybody know what's the news on the remaining tsalala lioness and her remaining female cub?

[@nyyanksny03]

Lee Rabulan last time I saw they were doing fine. Neenah has been spending time with them.

[@falanajerido875]

Is that tinyo ? An blondie do climb tree they the lions can climb trees

[@orchidlove-kz2ky]

A lioness is bringing food. Enjoy the video.

[@patrickphokoane641]

Well he can't help it he seems hungry and there is left over kill hanging on the tree

[@LudoRock15]

i read it and didn't see any explanation....

[@zyccan]

LoL at the tiger dissing comment. Go watch some tiger climbing videos. I bet a lone tiger could've done it in less than 10 seconds vs. a pack of sweaty and nervous lions. The contrast is too hilarious.

[@LudoRock15]

getting up is easy, getting down is the hard part (is that what he said?)

[@fhatuwaniglentonnetshivhul9202]

Nothing like hunger to drive and pique the interest of a hungry lion. Even driving that Lion to take its chances in a somewhat undignified manner. Pity the Leopard that lost that kill though 🐾
