This is so heartbreaking to know, but Blondie being with his sons is great. Hopefully Blondie’s wisdom can help the Z boyeez and in turn they provide protection for Blondie…we have seen it before 🖤thanks for a great video 🙂
I hope zaza & zozo let Blondie be a apart of their coalition. Its heartwarming when you see the younger ones protecting their elders. I hope they all stay safe🙏🏻🫶👑🦁
It’s not that they will kick him out but if blondie will say. Usually the sons has 0 say weather the father is in the coalition or not. The Gomondwane males themselves all 7 of them were in a coalition with their last remaining father all the way until age took him. I think if Blondie does want to stay, all vurhami boys will stay together but once he dies they will split just like the Gomondwanes did
Thank you for the video! I hope Blondie stays safe and stays with his sons! Who knows maybe tank will show up again i hope! I love these lions i hope they live long wonderful lives! They're so beautiful and strong! Always great to see them alive!❤
I'm very happy that Blondie is alive!!! ❤❤❤ I hope he stays that way and that he'll get the time to recover from his injuries. It's heartbreaking to think about Splitnose and Tank being possibility dead... I just can't 😢😢😢 Still suspect foul play.... Thanks for the video, Cobus. With love❤
That's what I'm thinking in Split noses case for sure. Split nose was to smart and tough to be over come by other Lions I believe. Tank was injured so 2 or so Lions could probably over power him. ☹️
@@TheThinker792 It's highly unlikely. The injuries Blondie has is a sure sign they got in a fight with rival males. Lions in the Kruger are not actively poached. They are unintentionally snared. Poachers want the game and unfortunately lions can set foot in the trap. Almost all the time,a snared lion gets helped, especially territorial lions as their movement parameters are known and restricted to a specific area.
Very well known fact!!! The Northern Kruger is completely wiped out due to poisoning for poaching and recently more and more Southern Kruger lions are darted and relocated to Northern Kruger which has now become a known death sentence for lions!
Thanx for the update. Its heart breaking to think that Tank and Splitnose are now dead. I was hoping Tank had moved onto the east with his eastern brothers but i was basically being in denial but Splitnose missing is terrible. The Gomondwane's have been my favorite coalition but for the last year and a half I felt Tank's dissapearances would catch up to him and be their coalitions downfall. The HP pride leaving the park and having to be darted and returned to KNP is also another bad sign for Splitnose and Tank but these S21 males will not last even though they are experienced,I hope ZoZo and Zano and company with the help of Blondie avenge his brothers. This is a hard life these males live, every day is a battle to survive and few kings die of old age. Most male lions either are injured hunting or killed defending their pride and territory,the respect I have for these majestic creatures can not be measured
I’m happy that Blondie is still alive and with Zaza & Zozo. It would be great if he forms a coalition with them🦁 however the hope for Tank and Splitnose is becoming less and less especially for Tank. Really appreciate the updates🦁🧡
I had a feeling he would end up with his sons/nephews. I had heard a couple days ago that he was with ZaZa and ZoZo. I believe this is our answer for Tank and Splitnose being deceased unfortunately 😢 I love the idea of him being with the boys, but if this doesn’t work out then I think trying to join his other three brothers would be awesome. They have been moving towards Blondie’s territory. I fully believe they he absence of Tank and the absence of his and Splitnose’s roars have definitely let other males know the territory is up for grabs. Drama in the Southern Kruger!! Thanks so much for the update 💜🦁
Blondie is repeating what one of his Old Gomondwane fathers did when he was the last remaining of the 7 males. He also made a retreat and hung around Blondie and the rest of his brothers. It's a sad end to the Western Gomondwane rule. I honestly thought they had more time,as they were 10 years old this year and by no means too aged to hold on to territory. I wanted to spend some time in KNP this dry season,but I just could not get leave. I'll never again see the incredible specimen that is Splitnose. Maybe it is not as surprising. The South of Kruger is extremely competitive. Hard for males to hold down territory.
Blondie has no tolerance with his sons before, that's weird! If he manage to keep his sons with him and form a coalition maybe we'll see the saga of Notch again .
If this is so that his bothers are gone then for Blondie like many other coalitions in the past and even till this day Blondie must find a way to so his sons that strength in numbers matter even though they may be young if time permits to build there confidence and strength for what may lay ahead I wish them all well ... RA 68 HELL FIRE
At least Blondie is alive and with Zaza and Zozo they can protect him from any more harm alone with any of the brothers that are with them. And I've said it before I believe in my heart that Tank is dead and as for Splitnose I hope if he is dead he defended his cubs so the mother's hopefully got them away from the danger because when he was last seen he was with cubs and two Lioness. If Zaza and the other males are going to the Hippo Pools Pride area that means there's going to be a fight because there's another male that has taken over that pride or am I wrong which I hope I am. But if Zaza and his brothers are headed there where's Blondie is he still where he was or is he going with the boy's 🤔😊💖
These S 21 male lions remind me off the Majingilane lions although there are only 2 off them doing there damage during the night.I see Blondie staying with the Vurhami pride who are becoming really big.
Did Blondie show signs of being in any recent life or death battles ? He would of if with his brother or both ? He wouldn’t of cowardly ran off !!! Are any of the lionesses that Tank and Split Nose were regularly with and cubs been not seen for awhile as with the two brothers ? Important questions . Keeping the cubs safe and being in a low key place is a possibility ? Really curious on these possibilities. Studying the history of kings who have disappeared there’s some intriguing scenarios that played quite awhile later to the inevitable , They were not weak and old yet like many forced to go nomad . So ?
I love the Gomodwane males and really apreciate your updates and insight however giving somehow hope and leading people into believing Tank could still be alive is not ok at all. As much as I hate saying it, he's dead ! He was in poor condition and any lions could've ended him. What's really shocking and intriguing to me is what happend to Splitnose as I see him capable of fighing any 2 males and make it out alive.
Please refrain from telling me what to say and what not to. The S21 males disappeared for nearly 3 years, people also said they were "dead", yet here we are. I follow them, physically, i will always believe.
Blondie is alive, it's a great news
May God keep you safe Blondie with the young princes together !!! 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Poor TANK and Split nose!!☹️ Long live Mighty King Blondie!!🦁🦁 Thanks for the update my friend.

Agree 100 %…!!
BLONDIE… you are already a Legend… KEEP THE STORY BOOK OPEN… WISH THEM THE BEST 🦁🦁🦁🐾💕🐾💕🐾💕🐾
Heal up Blondie, the fights coming again. Good to see he's with the boy's, they'll fight. Good work brother
Its the fight for survival!! Hopefully he can keep the legacy going until his boys are ready!! Thanks 🙏 for info and knowledge!!
Thank you for the video! I hope Blondie stays safe and stays with his sons! Who knows maybe tank will show up again i hope! I love these lions i hope they live long wonderful lives! They're so beautiful and strong! Always great to see them alive!❤
This is great news about Blondie...damn I am missing Tank and Splitnose
Thank you for this update. I hope that blondie will stay with his sons.

Poachers could be the reason of the disappearance of Tank and Split Nose!
That's what I'm thinking in Split noses case for sure. Split nose was to smart and tough to be over come by other Lions I believe. Tank was injured so 2 or so Lions could probably over power him. ☹️

After long time
Missing tank too
You are forgetting Poachers
I’d like to know more about those lions that seem to have dismantled the Gomondwane males.
I had a feeling he would end up with his sons/nephews. I had heard a couple days ago that he was with ZaZa and ZoZo. I believe this is our answer for Tank and Splitnose being deceased unfortunately 😢

Drama in the Southern Kruger!! Thanks so much for the update 💜🦁
I hate Kruger. So many lions disappear here. Dont forget the corrupted park officials as well

Similar history with the Mapogo ...
Blondie has no tolerance with his sons before, that's weird!

Trophy hunters the other two

So many questions still....
These S 21 male lions remind me off the Majingilane lions although there are only 2 off them doing there damage during the night.I see Blondie staying with the Vurhami pride who are becoming really big.
So do you have 2 TH-cam pages one with narrating and one with natural sounds
That's correct. Because half the people complain about the voiceovers, and others not. So best of both worlds.
Which lions got out at Ngwenya lodge this week?
Could it be something to do with all the activity in the South recently?
Did Blondie show signs of being in any recent life or death battles ? He would of if with his brother or both ? He wouldn’t of cowardly ran off !!! Are any of the lionesses that Tank and Split Nose were regularly with and cubs been not seen for awhile as with the two brothers ? Important questions . Keeping the cubs safe and being in a low key place is a possibility ? Really curious on these possibilities. Studying the history of kings who have disappeared there’s some intriguing scenarios that played quite awhile later to the inevitable , They were not weak and old yet like many forced to go nomad . So ?
Would the S21 males be about the same age as Blondie, Tank and Splitnose?
How could s21 kill both and no signs or bodies etc? It just seems odd. 2v2 or two diff 2v1’s and s21’s are not badly injured? Just seems off to me ..
No doubt IT WAS FUCKING POACHING DAMMIT
Absolutely not. It's not "poaching" whenever a lion disappears
I love the Gomodwane males and really apreciate your updates and insight however giving somehow hope and leading people into believing Tank could still be alive is not ok at all. As much as I hate saying it, he's dead ! He was in poor condition and any lions could've ended him. What's really shocking and intriguing to me is what happend to Splitnose as I see him capable of fighing any 2 males and make it out alive.
Please refrain from telling me what to say and what not to. The S21 males disappeared for nearly 3 years, people also said they were "dead", yet here we are. I follow them, physically, i will always believe.
*So Split nose and tank died?*
It is, unfortunately, something to consider. No bodies have been found though.
