The Matshapiri Males

[Tshokwane]

For the moment I'm unable to post regularly. But to make up for this, here's an introduction to a new coalition that has been for some time having a big part of lion life, achieving dominance over two prides and already having cubs sired by the females of both the Sparta/Eyrefield pride and the Fourways pride.
Here there is some videos that show a hunt made by the two Matshapiri males and the Sparta pride by MalaMala Game Reserve.

Another epic sighting of lions vs buffaloes with an unexpected twist! Part 1/7: 2 Eyrefield lionesses run in from the south and the Matshapiri pride attack from the north. Video by ranger Mike Kirkman

Part 2/7: the herd is driven towards a steep river bank.

Part 3/7: In a cloud of dust the lions single out their target, a buffalo cow.

Part 4/7: With the herd watching from atop the river bank- the lions make their move. Notice how they focus on one of the buffalo's pre existing injuries.

Part 5/7: With the herd watching from atop the river bank- the lions make their move. Notice how they focus on one of the buffalo's pre existing injuries. 

Part 6/7: the buffalo is down but not out. The Matshapiri lioness then enters fray...

Part 7/7: The final clip...
