We came across these 2 lionesses from the Nshawu Pride with their 8 playful young cubs finishing off a buffalo calf near Mopani in the Kruger National Park. The 2 big pride males had already finished feeding.

It was incredible to see the cubs playing around and learning with whatever leftovers they could get their paws on while practicing hunting skills for the future. There is so much going on in this sighting with the endless energy of the 8 cubs, 1 of the 2 big male lions eventually decides to join in and see what's going on and performs the flehmen grimace.

The mjejane boys always look well fed, anybody else noticed that? Reply

A cool video of three lionesses (probably a mother and her 2 daughters) of the Kumana Pride bringing down a huge old Buffalo Bull.

Im just wondering here, did he take his son and formed a coalition with him when he was ousted from his old prides like what Notch did? Reply

Exactly, he was ousted by Jock males, he had 2 sons, but 1 disappeared in 2018. Reply

Mo in the company of two lionesses, roaring to let the Mjejane pride know he's around. Really he shouldn't have done that- very risky! He should have kept quiet for his own safety.
