Lion Pride Eating A Buffalo | Livestream | Maasai Mara/Zebra Plains

now [Music] [Music] this lots of people have joined hello all the people that are watching it's very very windy see but there's some lions eating a buffalo enjoy ask questions [Music] yes this is in the mara this is the topi pride top of the Bro Ridge with the Buffalo now all the Cubs and everybody just arrived now as we started the screen so it hasn't really been opened up or anything did they bring the Buffalo down they did they CAU it in the water and they were still just finishing it off when we got here but by the time we got in position everything it was already done how many youngsters in the pride there should be 14 I think they're all here might not all be in shot but they should all be here and nine lionesses in total and they're all here and the three Sal Naes [Music] what the lionesses will want to do is get the Buffalo out of the water so they can eat it more easily they're all coming in from the landside actually want to get into the water I apologies for all the wind noise if that's all you're hearing we are uh bring up a storm behind us at the moment so see the is quite wobbly because we're blowing in the window [Music] [Music] St look why do they choose to start Buffalo from behind it is because that is where the soft parts are they'll go in under the tail around the genitals you see one at the front there going in under the armpit at the front so yeah Buffalo's skin is very tough so I'll try and get the easiest spits open first and then work around from there once they've got the skin open they can go underneath and start to get the meat that way hi bernardet everybody's well here thank you yeah it's not not good for the little ones being in the lugger [Music] what [Music] I don't know if you can hear the thunder in the background there's no rain forecast but it's going to rain [Music] three males are ading at the moment three Sal males all these cups [Music] [Music] at the moment like most of the Cubs are waiting for the adults to get that skin open they're not big enough to get in their own teeth yet L of them are playing around so going under the car I some [Music] now nice light sun's coming out [Music] out [Music] some of those cups getting very [Music] impatient okay some questions earlier we we were there while they were still suffocating it going to take it down got here as they were finishing to finish it off and then took us a while to get a good position as well there's quite a few Vehicles here um still a good [Music] sighting are all there to it's fine we're lucky this big rain is going to go around us rather than on top of us're UNL very here [Music] [Music] Pride where in very much in need of a big meal like this with food when it comes to Fe if the males are here up to 12 ad there a lot of meat that's needed past few days theyve been eating small stuff but that's only enough to keep them active rather to fill them up by tomorrow morning there be none of this left Pride M you in there I'm not sure I'm not sure where they are I'm sure they'll turn up eventually maybe after we got this evening and yes they would be able to put it up but even thees could put it out the water we should be able to bring it out C [Music] he yes the controls of the camera are AIT sensitive Cubs are hungry BS are hungry ber you had a lovely time thank you very much everybody enjoyed having you here was nice to meet you and we'll see you next [Music] time zowi in a little bit of these covers at the back where all the fighting is make it a bit more wobbly unfortunately [Music] [Music] [Music] any of the questions or comments that aren't in English I don't have the translate function here with me at the moment I can't answer those [Music] [Music] Cubbies to feed and with with the pride being so hungry even the lies are hungry it's surprising to see them letting the Cubs take over the carcass like this when they the ones that need food to be able to hunt again usually you find the lers would eat as much as they can first before comes in they all arrived at the same time this [Music] time Co not be properly opened you can see some of them the back end eting at the back end and then at the front and just uh what basically would be the armpit under the front elbow to where they open Buffalo Skin's very thick and with the Cubs crowling the carcass the females aren't getting in there to be able to open it up properly from the back down to the belly so they're making do with what they can they'll get in there properly eventually I see a lot of them are on the face as well eating the the cheeks beef cheeks delicacy in some places and it goes for the Lions as well [Music] guys look we might be lucky with the rain going around us R coming on top of us [Music] f [Music] [Music] [Music] I [Music] [Music] in the middle see Buffalo so lines you can't see it but it's a big male Buffalo I [Music] I [Music] [Music] [Music] now [Music] go [Music] [Music] is it the rainy season not really the rainy season um it's uh it doesn't it's not like where it doesn't rain outside of the rainy season so we'll we'll get occasional rainstorms once or twice a week this time of the year whereas a few weeks ago we were getting rain every day and when we get towards the end of April again uh it should be raining every day so it's uh um usually the rains that we got end of January beginning of February would be uh expected November and December but they came late so we're not sure if the April May rains will be late as well it's uh it will still rain [Music] [Music] occasionally how many lions in the in the masam mara more than I can count probably 6 700 is it live right now I'm answering you right now so I hope it's live right now unless you've got a delay oh [Music] [Music] [Music] the dominant males of this Pride are are the salers males uh where are they now I would also like to know um they're somewhere around I'm sure they're not far they are going to notice all this noise and turn up but possibly not while we're still here maybe after dark they'll get [Music] here Mar you hope it's a daily feed unfortunately L A lot of the area that we Traverse has no signal to uh get a daily feed up and a lot of the sightings are just animal sleeping so um I'm not going to use up the the bandwidth just to show you animal sleeping rather when there's something happening and they're not moving around too much like this so it's it's very random unfortunately when I can go live [Music] me show the surroundings um at the moment the surroundings are a lot of vehicles have a look see and the other camera everything so let's not worry about the surroundings and go back to looking at the Lions [Music] God [Music] w [Music] okay to Pride is the largest Pride that we see on a daily basis I'm not sure how many are in the Prides elsewhere we see the to Pride The sankai Monaco Pride the Marsh pride um they're are regular Prides and we'll see maybe once a week we'll go down uh see wrong ey Pride as well so out of those prizes are the biggest but I'm not sure what's going on down at soapa and black rock and places like that black rock have got at least 11 covers as well so they're they're also a big Pride J thanks I'm glad you can hear the sounds now the wind's died down a bit the storm is moving off so a bit more of what's going on down there [Music] what is the cost of a safari these days well that all depends on how much luxury you want and everything if you want to sleep in a camper tent and it's actually quite cheap if you want luxury and uh you know all three full meals a day and all of that then it gets a bit more expensive um but there you can there's a safari to suit most budgets um once you've got your plane tickets sorted that is that's that's one of the biggest part of the budget is actually getting here um I mean you can stay in places that'll only cost you um $40 $50 a night and or you can stay in places it'll cost you $4,000 a night it's all up to you in your budget hi Tasha hello [Music] watch hopefully with the username like spam the moderators don't kick you off but yeah males are much more tolerant of the Cubs eating the males uh um very much less tolerant of the females they'll snap at the females the way the females are snapping at the Cubs but they'll let the Cubs feed uh quite happily it's usually quite amusing to see the Cubs feeding with the males um what time is it what time is it 5:30 in the afternoon is the [Music] [Music] time this rain that's not supposed to be raining on us it's starting to rain on us it's just spitting so hopefully we can keep all the setup out [Music] it's up yeah I think the video is buffering now because the the rain is uh starting to fall quite heavily so um let us I think unfortunately bringing the camera into the vehicle you won't be able to see anything because it's going to be too low down I'm holding my hat over it now so let's see if that lasts for long enough but I don't think so see what we can do I'm going to have to turn the other camera off get that in [Music] good I'll get wet just clean your yeah the other problem that we're going to have with it now raining is getting out of the sighting because in the lugger we parked in the lugger it's going to get wet so I think we're going to have to stop and I was hoping to do this for longer thank you for everybody for joining but we're going to have to go because of the weather oh
