Three of the Kambula prides new cubs meet other pride members at a zebra kill. In contrast, the sub adult males may be on their way out.
...
From MalaMala Game Reserve to wherever you are in the world, we'll bring you moments from our daily safaris in one of Africa's most iconic private game reserves. This is essentially a continuation of our 'Rangers in Isolation' series which was filmed during the national Lockdown.

Life is so hard for sub adult male lions. Its heartbreaking to see at times but when those boys leave the pride and form a coalition ( hopefully the six of them all together) they will be a force to be reckoned with. A formidable coalition. Great sighting MalaMala, thank you.
It's a hard life indeed Annette - but at least they'll have each other for company!
Maybe she didn’t want cubs 🤷🏾♂️
@@SocialDrones huh
Pure brilliance is this video...like we are right there with the Kambula pride at the dinner table...thanks rangers...simply terrific .!
❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely captivating watching and listening to the lion dynamics. Your heart can’t help to feel for the subadult males but this is how they become toughened for their hard life soon to start. Loved seeing the new little babies. Thanks Guys as Always so much.
❤️
I love cubs.
😍😍😍😍💋💋💋 hello !!!!
Amazing video , especially watching today with these boys all grown and turning into such MAGNIFICENT lions ❤️Thank you
Yet another superb video from the MalaMala boys and girls,excellent and a huge thank you.
Much love and respect from the UK. ✊🏾💪🏾👍🏾😉
Thank you very much! ❤️
Holy dooley, those Kambula lionesses are terrifying when they get cranky! 😳🤕 I gather (I hope) those adorable baby cubbies skedaddled once family mealtime degenerated into the inevitable brawl. I see tough days ahead for the subadult males but at least when they do go it should make it easier for the rest of the pride to feed itself. Thank you for sharing these fascinating sightings, @MalaMala Game Reserve. ❤️🐾😊
😂😬 ❤️
The strength of the male subs is unbelievable, they can match the grown lionesses, the pride is overcrowded, soon we would see a breakaway group from Kambulas
❤️
OMG, cubbiesssss.... awww, too sublime for the senses. Luv all of these fascinating living beings but the most love is given to the little darlings. Stay alive & healthy u lion pride!
Thank you for watching!
Dear MMGR;
Greeting from NYC,
Thanks, Among best in learning

this channel not only has consistently great footage but their audio is unequalled
😉
❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️ Thank you for watching!
These little purrbabies are gorgeous. Trying to figure it all out. Chuffs and squeaky vocals. And the feast of a zebra. They just wanna play. Lol. The feast and feeding order command aggressive behaviors. Awesome footage ty ❣
Yes they are! Thank you for watching!
5:25 cub 'submissive roar' is soooo cute and adorable
Thank you for watching!
Love these beautiful animals godbless you for sharing your videos
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
When the subadults came in to feed, I saw one young cub go off to the left and another go off to the right. But there was still one in between the zebras hind legs. I didn't see if that one got out of the way and hope it wasn't killed. Learned a lot in this video. Thank you!
Our pleasure. All 3 are safe. Thank you for watching!
Wow lions are tough! Although I have seen scenes like this many many times, it never ceases to amaze me how vicious the lives of lions really are. Nothing really compares.
Thank you for watching!
Absolutely Awesome video!!!! Your videographer was right on! This is one of the very best video's that I have ever seen!!! Excellent video and presentation!!!! Thank you!!!
Such an awesome action packed footage 😊😊😊
Great video 👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching!
These sub-adults carry a survival gene inherited from a powerful dynasty of Lions❣ they definitely have *Spunk*😘their prodigious output evokes strong reactions. The Gowrie male/father is the one with the *Belt*😈he will decide. Great camera work & commentary👍Thank you🙌MalaMala, for the stunning images, footage & updates😊 Leggende! Numero Uno💓
A rapturous delight for the gorgeousss cubs💞
❤️
Those lionesses are still huge compared to sub adult males . So many mouths to feed
well their the Mapogos grandaughters and those lionesses are badass like hell
Thier fathers are the Manyelethi coalition some of them are bigger than Mapogo these girls have 2 strong bloodlin🙂👑
@@ahmedalialodaini385 you mean the majingilane . Grandfathers MRT and Kt
Thank you for watching!
Hope the sub-adults are on their way soon, so the three youngest cubs and the new litters can have bigger share of meals for their growth
Thank you for watching!
Excellent point!!
Amazing sighting!! The Cubs must have ran and hid from all the growling and fighting!! Spine tingling! Thanks for another great video!!💕🦁🐱
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Thank you for sharing your video. That was a great sighting! I love the small one watching the adult eating: so cute! But the best part it the "action" among adults. During lockdownyour videos help! I miss South Africa and your beautiful animals!
Awesome footage guys. You all are doing great work. Its a very big pride. I wonder for how long they will tolerate the sub adult male lions??
Time will tell - probably not too much longer though!
Love this footage!! Keep up the great job!❤
Thanks so much!!
I never realized a lion pride had a hierarchy. It was very evident here but I had never seen it before so acutely vivid. The sub adult males are trained by this sort of behavior in order to provide their own pride a strong coalition, so it shouldn't have surprised me. It was also a bit humorous to see the cubs unsure of the moving zebra flank. Sad, also that two cubs were killed earlier and the mother was willing to allow it without a fight.
Thank you for watching!
Fascinating to observe these pride dynamics MalaMala!
❤️ Thank you for watching James - as always 😉
Fascinating video again! Love the little cubs trying to get a seat on the table until the teenagers came in and basically hijacked the party!
Thank you for sharing another fantastic video guys!
😂 Thank you for watching!
I caught on that the guide said the Gowrie Males have actually met these cub and the cubs played with them? That's adorable and really satisfying to hear. Have both met the cubs and was it on tape?
You heard right. Checking if any of the rangers got it on camera - will put it in an episode if they did.
@@MalaMalaGameReserve now that would be a winner for definite!
Awesome! Some good looking boys! They will be like their dads!
Agreed Lilly. Thank you for watching!
Geeze that feeding went from somewhat cordial to 75 real quick.
Fabulous video of lion dinner time. I always feel sad for the young males. Hopefully they will stay together in their wandering years.
They won't have a choice but to get tougher!
Good video and always like lions.
Thanks 👍
Amazing video I was glad to see the little ones run off when the youngsters showed up 🥰
it was to be expected ...... now that they have young to feed, it will become complicated for the subs-adults .... they are too numerous for a single carcass .... they may be this split in two ..... but I hope they will be able to stay a little longer with the family💕
🤞🤞
Now that's a pride of lionesses
Very nice laion
Thank you for watching!
No “pass the salt and pepper please” or “ May I have a napkin please?” Nope, table manners go out the window. it’s “2, 4, 6, 8...dig in don’t wait! Yahoooooo!!!”.....
😂😂 Thank you for watching!
Looks like holiday dinners at our house , no leftovers
😬😬😬😂😂😂
That's a massive pride. Lions eats very slow, those that didn't get a spot at the table probably have to Wait for awhile.
Thank you for watching!
Sempre com vídeos fantásticos. ..imenso canal.👊👊👊
❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing this fascinating video. As others have pointed out, the dynamics with sub adult males is fascinating and sad.
I have wondered about this Kambula pride, because it is so large and perhaps unsustainable at that size, so I was not entirely surprised to hear the story about the infanticide. These animals live such brutal lives, but that is what has forged them into such magnificent creatures, even though their stories can leave us with such sadness. I wonder where those males will go once they are forced out of the pride. Life is, no doubt, harder for them outside of Kruger and the reserves around Kruger, but they will have a lot of territorial males standing in their way outside of Kambula land.
Wonder if they are too closely related to the Marthly lionesess, or if it would be too dangerous to stay that close regardless?
They are indeed related - second cousins in fact.
Kruger and the surrounding reserves are all part of the same ecosystem - only us humans who know where the boundaries are. Life is the same for them - wether they are in Kruger or on MalaMala.
WOW!!!amazing sighting
Thank you for watching!
Reminds me of christmas dinner with my relatives.
How old are the sub adult males now? Time for things to change. Hoping they will stay together. Going to be tough a while for them. Nkuhumas with subadult males coming up. The Torchwood male. Now wouldn’t that be something if all those brothers-Torchwood and these-off in age...but if they ended up together. Wowzers! Another great one guys! Stay safe!
They're over 2 years old. And yes, that would be quite a coalition! 💪
Thanks that was a cool footage
❤️ Thank you for watching!
These videos are amazing! I don't enjoy the actual kill. I don't watch it. But seeing the lions eating the kill and dealing with each other is fascinating. Lions have always been my favorite wild animal. They are wild and raw, smart and loving and the perfect killers! Thank you for these excellent videos that take us into their lives! 🇺🇸
Females look huge! How old are the four subadult males? Hopefully they stick together in their next journey!
The sub-adults will try to bully their mother/aunts and little cub relatives so the lionesses usually have to lay down the law and warn the young subbies, once the new cubs are introduced to the pride. Anyway, soon those boys will have to bid adieu to their natal pride and take their "show" on the road.
Thank you for watching!
"OK here here, on the count of 3, everyone take a bite.. 'sub males I said on 3 not 1, don't make me swat you!! ' Now let's try it again on the count of 3, bite !! "
To the person who is reading this,
You're amazing stay blessed, stay safe and have an amazing rest of your day!
Great video！！！！I am always looking forward to it.！！
Thank you very much! ❤️
Saludos cordiales desde Sudamérica Santa Cruz bolivia 🇧🇴 👍 excelente 💜 increíble el video 📹 👍 💯 puntos amigos🌎🌙🌏🌏😁👍👏👏🌞😀
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Some great footage once again guys please keep it coming also have use got any update on those 2bmale cheetahs that got chased by the wild dogs a while ago?
They did reunite - but we haven't seen them in the last week.
@@MalaMalaGameReserve that's great news if possible could you get some footage of them even if only a gor a minute as they are such majestic animals and if possible it would be great if use could even name them I know my kids who also love this channel would like that a lot anyways thank you so much for the update and also thank you so much to your hole team for being so consistent with such great content
Older females teaching the young males a lesson?
They sounds like a mix between a racing car and a fighter jet.
Thats exactly what they sound like .
Letting them know that their time with the pride will come to an end in the not so distant future. Thank you for watching!
@@MalaMalaGameReserve i have a question. Do you think the cub & sub males know they will be evicted from their natal pride in their future? It seems they sadly have such a hard time with it, almost confused? ..
@@MalaMalaGameReserve The sub adults have broken away, but the sub males are still with the pride to this day 🤷♀️.
Once again thank you for this video of one of my favorite prides MalaMala! The sub adults don't even look hungry but they eat like they're starved! How many males in this pride excluding the new cubs?
6 🦁 Thank you for watching!
Thanks
Nice, but far too many close-up shots, depriving us of the full picture. Zoom out a bit.
If you can't feed um dont breed um. Great video!
😂 Thank you for watching!
Great video and thanks for sharing
❤️
Thanks for sharing. Awesome footage. I am glad there are more than 1 male among them so they can be a force to be reckoned with. Do you think the pride itself will split in the near future due to their numbers?
Hi Barbara. It's impossible to say. But with 5 sub adult males and 1 slightly younger one due to leave the pride - the pressure to split will be reduced. But it's still very possible. (I think you can call this a non-answer 😉)
Aggression is a language 😳
yea thes e sub adultmales are starting to grow their small manes and will be soon ousted from Kambula pride. you can see the lionesses putting the young males in their place and keeping the new cubs safe from them.
Thank you for watching!
@@MalaMalaGameReserve any time
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Epic sounds!
❤️
Cute cubs eating a meal
🥩
Poor young males. They need to learn to hunt for themselves now. I hope the new cubs live and survive. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
🤞🤞
The camera is focused on the rump of a dead zebra......so not sure which lioness you are speaking of around 2:50-3mins??
Totally agree.
It was awesome 👀 the cubs eating some 🍖 the lioness let the young Lions whos in charge i 🙏 that the young males Lions make to be a coalition bro🐅👑
Thank you for watching!
Никакого приличия за обедом, готовы покусать друг друга, но не поделиться.
Спасибо за просмотр
@@MalaMalaGameReserve loll
Cela ,fait mal de coir dévoré, ce zebre ,mais les lions sont tellement beaux ,,qu'ont leurs pardonne ,surtout a,ces magnifiques bebes ,adorables. 🦁🎠👑Copier⭐❤️😇.
Merci d'avoir regardé ❤️
lovely animal 😍💓
Thank you for watching!
@@MalaMalaGameReserve your welcome 🙏
Yep, time for the boys to go form their own coalition! They seem to be fierce enough to one day take over a pride for themselves. Maybe they’ll stick together. Their safety & power in numbers. With lions being endangered, it’s surprising that they would kill family members cubbies. But I guess they don’t know that. 😊. Thank you for another great video!
Hi Toni. It is not common at all for this to happen, The exception rather than the rule.
@@MalaMalaGameReserve I guess that’s what is called the circle of life. I just can’t imagine Lions not roaming the Earth in Africa especially. Thank you for answering! ❤️🦁❤️
Fascinating behavior...where were the mature males?
They were a couple km's away
Wow. I didn’t know the head lioness will kill a sisters cubs.
It is very rare - the exception rather than the rule.
That is soooo sad. I didn't even know that tgis pride did that ....very sad.
I thought only the males did that. She must've been a stud.
Львята ждали, ждали своей очереди, пришли взрослые и всё съели.
Спасибо за просмотр
What are the dynamics of the Gowrie Males recently? There hasn't been much reports
They've been on MalaMala - spending a bit of time with the pride and they've met the new cubs - also spending a lot of time patrolling.
Extreme lion disco party
😂 Thank you for watching!
5:45 Ohhh so teenage lions do have an in between sound of cub and a full roar, kinda sounds weird.
Magnific.
❤️
Hello MalaMala team, despite the sobering news of the "culling" of the cubs 😥 , this is a superb video. Up close and personal, it feels as though I was right there in the midst of the pride. I completely agree with several of the comments that the audio was incredible and oh so wild!
We'll never fully understand why cubs are killed within a pride by a female. Did she realise that her babies would have a better chance of getting more food if there were fewer cubbies?
So much to contemplate ...
Thank you and God bless as always, xxx.
Some things in nature will always remain a mystery - and we really hope it stays that way 😉
@@MalaMalaGameReserve Thank you for reminding me that we really don't need to know and understand everything in, and of, our wonderful wildlife.
I have a great thirst for knowledge, which, I think, is fueled by all of the technology that we have at our fingertips. And my tv is tuned permanently to channel 184 BBC EARTH.
God bless and much love, xxx.
What is the count of lionesses, subadults and cubs in this pride?
Hi there. 6 lionesses, 12 sub adults and 5 small cubs. 2 males are dominant over the pride.
@@MalaMalaGameReserve Thank you so much for replying ❤️ Recently I came across your channel and got addicted 😍
And the puppies of lion?? Crushed?? xD WTF
What is specific degree course for to study about lion ? Any lion researchers , please reply my question . It is my humble request to you ( praveen from india )
Those females are not happy lol
Now I have a lot of questions so do lionesses big prides usually kill each others cubs I would like to know if it is just for dominance or what else could it be?
It is not common at all! Difficult to say exactly why she did it but she was the ranking member.
It's not enough for all them. They should order more next time.
👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thank you for watching!
That’s what we see happening as the pride gets too big. Too many mouths to feed and tension arises. Perhaps, a breakaway pride or splinter group is forthcoming? How old are the male sub adults now? Are they old enough to be successful as nomadic males? It would be sad to see them thrown out of the pride and not able to fend for themselves and just perish..
They're over 2 years old - probably got a couple months left with the pride but who knows what will happen! Interesting times ahead. Thank you for watching!
Really fellas?? We're fighting over skulls and spines now?🤷🏾♀️😂
😂
Are there still 6 subadult males there? Or now down to 5?
5 sub males and 1 from the youngest of the 'original' litters
@@MalaMalaGameReserve how many females? 8?
@@MalaMalaGameReserve there where 6 subadult males if im not mistaken?
So many trying to get a bite
😬
The young cubs, older than the new cubs looks very thin. I hope he was able to get a share of the meal. I hope they get a big meal next time.
Thank you for watching!
Quarentena. 13-10-2020,
Thank you for watching!
I thought it was the alpha pride lion that ostracises the sub-male lions.
kinda hard to imagine them without tails, but the tails actually do look weird.
😂
I am glad that I don’t have to eat at their table!!
What if king comes to intervene these growling pride
It would probably get more aggressive
What happened to the cubs? How many cubs died?
there are 12 left - down from 14
Not enough zebra to go around for that many lion appetites.
Fierce conflict would be inevitable.
Hence, why the younger males always eventually get driven out of the pride to make room for the growing cubs.
And the cycle repeats itself.
Thank you for watching!
Still 14 sub adults?
Looks like 12 now
@@MalaMalaGameReserve 😬 oh, that answers my earlier question. I hope they don't end up like the Mangheni's second litter.
@@MalaMalaGameReserve are all 3 younger subadults (born in 2019) there?
It’s a common misconception that lion prides are hierarchical. I know of at least one 36 year study of 560 individual lionesses that proved there is no hierarchy between females.
