An other documentary about the desert lions dated from 2018, but in french... If you want to ask me helping you to understand, no problem.

5 lions, among them an old lioness which leads them, try to survive in this harsch environment they recapture.

Can't see the video as it is blocked in my region. But I recall seeing an English version. Does the old lioness perish in the end? If so it might be the one I saw in English. Its a great documentary though and amazing how resilient these animals are.

Yes indeed the old lioness perished at the end, because of starvation.

And yes, the lions are very resilient animals. I remember having read that the desert lions were eradicated around 15-20 years ago. And after, having seen an other documentary about their come back.

From the desert lion conservation.

Miles the male lion killed a full grown bull giraffe


After searching the area for four days I finally tracked him down in the lower Ugab River, where he had killed a giraffe bull. I then spent another two days (and nights) habituating him before a successful darting at 01h00 on 23 April 2008. The collar was fitted and he recovered from the immobilisation without incident. Since then I have received two emails with accurate records of his movements.

Jens Cullmann: " ‘Check your fluids’
Lions drinking and watching. Every animal’s brain is wired towards survival. The extreme stress of trying to stay alive in the wilderness has produced incredible adaptations in every species. Lions will drink water every day if available, but when times are tough they can go 4 to 5 days without drinking obtaining fluids from the contents of their prey. Have you tried doing that? "

" Jens Cullmann: "'Lion spa' ... Lionesses grooming each other is team work too and part of bonding as a pride. At night time they will be hunting together. "

Jens Cullmann: " ‘No happy endings’ ... Unfortunately for this unborn baby gemsbok his fate was sealed when his mum was tackled by a lion. The concept of ‘justice’ does not apply in nature; there is no judgement passed when feeding is the main priority. . "
