Latest Mala Mala video. Kambulas and OE N'Waswitshaka. Some of the boys practising their moves for when they're older.
 
These two videos were circulating among friends and I wanted to share them here as well.
I found them incredibly informative  (07-12-2024, 09:06 PM)criollo2mil Wrote: These two videos were circulating among friends and I wanted to share them here as well. Thank you, for bringing James Miller's videos to my attention, and to so many others as well. Most excellent, I instantly subscribed. It seems you cannot share a playlist, so, if I may, you might consider just providing the link, so that others can view it directly on YT. Thank you, again, most excellent work by Mr. Miller! Incredibly informative, and moving, telling of Solo's life, fatastic stuff!

I loved the story of Solo and have sometimes thought of him and what his fate was after going in the KNP and never being seen again. Did he live for a few more years at least? Did he die shortly afterwards? He tried and tried, god knows, but never could keep a coalition partner for years. Footage seen when he was about 10, showed an extraodinarily robust and tall/well-built lion! Amazing shape, and no other male that age these days could look so young. He probably never suffered from TB and had the stress of patrolling for a pride/cubs constantly.... After leaving into Kruger, he could have feasibly kept going and doing well without all the competition he endured in Sabi Sands.
Here he is in 2015, at the 'ripe' old age of 10! Just purely amazing shape! Like a lion in his absolute prime, no injuries whatsoever either. He left for Kruger in similar shape, in my opinion, albeit 1-2 years older.

The PCMs encountered and chased ofc the two Othowas in Dulini . They were in process of hunting
With son many lions now crowded in the west, these occurrences are inevitably going to become more frequent |
