2 Mbiri males vs 2 of the 3 Nharhu males

Yesterday morning we had some action!

The Mbiri males were in the Nharau males territory (the Nharau males are the fathers of the 6 cubs on Kings Camp with a 3rd male)

This isnt great footage but make sure you have the sound on to hear Grant and Hayley commentating.

Cathan found them early in the morning, reaching them just after a fight and the Nharau males chased the Mbiri's all the way to the South and out of their territory.

We followed for about 7km and then lost them.

The larger male from the Mbiri was injured (back leg) but not too badly, he was however a little slow at times and the other male would wait for him if the Nharau got too close. Very interesting to see this interaction.

The Nharhu males are looking in good shape (well, except for the limping one whose limp is as bad as it has been since they set up base around Tanda Tula), and they are turning into proper lions now!  Since chasing the larger Mbiri males back out of their territory almost three weeks ago, it is as if their confidence has increased and their roars have gotten louder –  a great sign for a stable lion future in this area.
