Some more action shots of the Ottawa lions this morning. The Matimbas dilated pupils certainly portray his mood.

Herekitty hey buddy how do you post instagram videos here? I just can't do it.
RE: the Matimba coalition - Herekitty - 10-14-2018
It's easy @T Rabbit; you type [insta] then the link of the video with [/insta] at the end. So again, I just copy the link in the url box above the instagram video, come over here, type [insta] then paste the link with [/insta] at the end. Hope it helps.

On the way back to the lodge for our breakfast we found the Ottawa Pride and their 3 cubs, being closely followed by the Matimbas. The Ottawas catch a huge Warthog and manage a quick feed before the Matimbas steam in and dominate the kill. The cubs showed some real character and kept feeding anyway, amongst lots of snarling and flying claws!

Lmao, was just thinking that myself. What an absolute boss. Someone get a marker of an irregularity in his fur or his eyes or something to see if this lion will eventually have 5 prides at his thrall and a male kill rate of 15 by the time he is 7.

DULINI GAME LODGE: On gamedrive last night. The Matimba lion making his presence known. Roaring from his belly. Turn up the volume for this one. October 27, 2018
RE: the Matimba coalition - Space Jam - 10-28-2018
I'm actually surprised the Matimba's are still doing well. They've had a ton of up's and downs recently. Shout out to the little cub holding strong between 2 full grown males. Very impressive.
RE: the Matimba coalition - Chris - 10-28-2018
Good to see HB roaring again. Just lets me know and all of us that ginger isn’t alone and that he’s here to stay in the West.
RE: the Matimba coalition - jordi6927 - 10-28-2018
the best thing that happened to the Matimbas was joining the Othawa pride ... its a two way street because they get to eat regularly and the pride gets protection which is very good for the cubs ..... i wish them continued success out west ... they are nice to have around
RE: the Matimba coalition - sundarbans - 10-28-2018
Are the Othawa cubs the ones sired by the Majingilane? If so, the Matimba have been remarkably tolerant of them as well as tolerating the presence of the 2015 Othawa male sub-adult. Any reason why they haven't killed the cubs and mated with the females?

@sundarbans When the Matimbas arrived in the west, they were emaciated and not in a state to set about chasing the lionesses. That may have contributed to the general survival of the cubs and as noted earlier in this thread there weren't any males around to trigger the take-over response. By the time they were introduced to the cubs they had already mated with one of the lionesses and probably considered the cubs their own.
Sadly enough their arrival to the west coincided with the decimation of the Tsalala pride and the last of the Matimba cubs.
