There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

At 5:02, there is a nightvision, clip, of a male lion literally walking out to the middle of the river, surrounded by a bunch of crocs, to feed on an elephant carcass that the crocs were feeding on. While it is very impressive, for sure, what is confusing is what the female narrator of that clip says. I am not sure what show or documentary the clip is from, but is has that kind of narration to it. In it, she refers to the male lion as Notch, so I thought, OK, this is filmed in the Mara, but then a lioness appears on the river bank, and the narrator states she is from the Ntsevu pride. Does anyone recall this clip, and what male that might be?





This is a compilation of videos my friend. I remember the first clip being from Disney's "African Cats" and the male lion in that clip was referred to as "Fang" with Notch being referred to as "Kali". The other clip looks like footage from WildEarth. The clip of the Nsefu pride refers to the Nsefu pride in Zambia's South Luangwa National Park and the video was from a documentary that follows the pride.

Thank you, very much, my friend! I will get the video relocated to the proper thread.

I do wonder if she saw her cub or vice versa when Ntsevu and Kambulas shared a meal, one would think it would be easier for the cub to recognize her

Hunting mishap if I recall correctly. Injury happened back in mid to late August, she ought to be fully healed up by now as I posted an update on her earlier this month. Post is on page 50 #746, I believe.

Guessing it was done by a warthog and its sharp tusks got her good. The cut is pretty clean across. It’s a large open spot where her skin is gone but seems like she’s keeping it clean and it’s not infected. Her body condition is good and hopefully the lionesses can hunt and get some food for the cubs and family.

Has anybody heard anything about the Ntsevu and the Mange?  Are all the cubs gone?

It's not a great sign for the cubs at this point.  This first post is possibly today or yesterday, the second is a week ago.  I fear the cubs may be lost.  Sad

Mala mala report is out and it practically confirms our worse fears regarding the four Ntsevu cubs of K2.    

Unfortunately her cubs succumbed to the mange outbreak.   Pride is now back to their original six members.

The K3 Cubs of the older litter have apparently shown improvement which is promising that maybe the worse is behind them.

These lionesses could use the help K12 and or the young Styxt male lion. I wonder if more cubs would come; I think is when a young lioness like K12 would help her and the Kambula lionesses. The Kambula lioness K12s mother not like her three sisters she is with the daughters and younger lionesses.
