Lions of Timbavati

[Mapokser]

Speaking of the dead River Pride Male, here a throwback to his coalition's fight with the 2 Mbiri males ( dunno if he is the one in the video ), I don't think this different angle of the post-fight ( different video from the one shared here before ) and photos were share here on WF.

Last year on April 14 th 2019, I was lucky to see the fight between the river pride and Mbiri brothers. This is my video of the fight.

We were watching 3 of the riverpride lions near NThambo treecamp, when another camp called in saying the Mbiri Brothers were running towards us on the tar road. Our jeep drove towards the Mbiri brothers, followed them back and we saw them fighting! The movie I made is only the last minute, I was so “ shocked “ from seeing this, nobody filmed the beginning of the fight.

Same day on the evening drive they lay on the same spot but with a full tummy. We could hear lions making a lot of noise for several hours in the night. ( this was my second game drive ever and the first time I saw lions in the wild!)
