RE: the Matimba coalition - Tshokwane - 12-17-2015 A video of two of the Northern Matimba males. On our last safari ride at Ngala Tented Camp before our honeymoon was over, we encountered this special encounter. Throughout the night, we heard these lion growls. On our last morning ride, our ranger had told us if we'd heard those lion growls as they were brothers searching for other. Good thing we had as he said we'll be looking for it and hopefully we catch the moment when they find each other. We found one of the brothers right away and were just waiting, watching him rest for like 2 hours or so. We kept hearing the growls and so did he - finally, as if sleeptime was over, he got up and started walking towards the direction of the growls. We quickly followed. After about 20 minutes or so of following him, we heard through the radio that another ranger had found the other brother at a nearby location. Our ranger quickly drove us his location and we caught the moment they finally met up with one another. No better way to end our honeymoon - it just shows love is universal. RE: the Matimba coalition - sanjay - 01-09-2016 Here is a facebook video, In which Marthly lionesses join the fray and things get even more chaotic. One of many scuffles between the female. Ginger attacked on one of female Click on image to play the video RE: the Matimba coalition - LionKiss - 01-09-2016 @sanjay are they the Mariba males? I red in the malamala facebook something about the Claredon males do you know what pride belongs this unlucky subadult male? It is a video from the same spot a day earlier. https://www.facebook.com/malamalagamereserve/videos/1058296017555355/ "Click on image to play the video" RE: the Matimba coalition - sanjay - 01-09-2016 @LionKiss , Yes those are Matimba males, also stated on the comments of original fb page. I think Claredon males and Matimba male are same, just 2 different name. I am not sure about the pride but I guess its Marthly pride which is also known as Tsalala pride. @Majingilane may make it more clear. Below is video of same scene but I think it is taken little earlier RE: the Matimba coalition - LionKiss - 01-09-2016 @sanjay, one technical question, please, how can you embed the video from facebook here, i could only post the link RE: the Matimba coalition - sanjay - 01-09-2016 @LionKiss , Embedding facebook video is little technical. For now I will give you brief detail, later I will write a tutorial on this. To insert a facebook video first go to the video page on facebook, for example you posted this link https://www.facebook.com/malamalagamereserve/videos/1058296017555355/ Copy the last part of this link which is numeric, i.e. 1058296017555355 (it is video id in facebook) Now, add this numeric video id to below link at the last:- https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v= So, it will become this:- https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1058296017555355 Now, You can proceed same way as you embed youtube video here, just select "Facebook" instead of "Youtube" from Video Type select box and paste the above link(https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=1058296017555355) in second text box Hope this help Note: Facebook videos when embed does not show play button, that is why I write "Click on image to play the video" just below it, otherwise reader think it as image RE: the Matimba coalition - LionKiss - 01-09-2016 Ok, thanks, as you see it worked, probably the mods here should incorporate this line https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v= in the "add a video" from fb so all will happen automatically when you write the technical note, we better delete all those post from this thread, or move them there. RE: the Matimba coalition - sanjay - 01-11-2016 This is full story of clash of Mhangeni pride and Tsalala pride (Led by Matimbas). Pack of 13 lions from Mhangeni pride were hunting a buffalo and this. Dust was flying and the bellowing of the buffalo, combined with the growling of the pride was sure to attract attention. *This image is copyright of its original author All of a sudden, along the banks of the Sand River, the Matimba male lions appeared. These lions stealthily but quickly made their way towards the Mhangeni pride and buffaloes. They were closely followed by the two lionesses from the Tsalala pride. *This image is copyright of its original author The Mhangeni pride lions scattered, running for their lives across both sides of the Sand River. Read this full story at http://blog.londolozi.com/2016/01/battle-of-the-buffalo RE: the Matimba coalition - Tshokwane - 01-12-2016 Quote:I am not sure about the pride but I guess its Marthly pride which is also known as Tsalala pride.The Tsalala pride and the Mhangeni pride are two different prides. In fact, the Mhangeni lionesses are also called Tsalala breakaway because they used to be part of the Tsalala pride but they separated. So now, the Mhangeni pride is dominated by the Majingilane and the Tsalala pride is dominated by the Matimba males. Thank you for sharing the story, Sanjay.

RE: the Matimba coalition - Tshokwane - 02-05-2016 Raw power. The Matimba males continue to hold their dominance in the central parts of Londolozi. *This image is copyright of its original author Moments in time are frozen and captured to create memories that will lasts a life time. No one knows what the future may hold, the only way to find out is to take it day by day. The Matimba males have established their territory on Londolozi but what does their future hold? *This image is copyright of its original author For both pics, credits to Trevor McCall-Peat in his Week In Pictures #217, in the Londolozi blog. |
