Paradise Lion Pride With A Buffalo Meal | Livestream From Maasai Mara | Zebra Plains

foreign good morning everyone if everyone's doing well we've been here a while they've been itching a while but most of the pride had gone down to drink and they're all coming back now big male obviously on the kill and the Cubs there's more linuses in the background coming there's four line S is nine Cubs and the one big male Middle Line name it's dowa dowa of the beneshaka coalition if you're watching feel free to type any questions in the chat I've got three cameras on the go so I might not see them immediately but I'll try and answer what's going on the question of how big is the pride and it is four females nine cups and the one male that's here but uh there are five males in the Coalition but only one of them is here at the moment the other four are the other side of the river with other Prides they don't only have the one Pride they were six but they're not six anymore we were also wondering about the hyenas ref but um they we haven't seen any in the area yet uh it's very cloudy very cool at the moment there's not a lot of smell emanating there's no wind taking that smell anyway and it would have to be a lot of hyenas to try and challenge a big Pride like this no it's not interesting what do you think no foreign supposed to be approaching seven years now and the Cubs before anybody asks are all just getting to about a year old foreign how many days would it last before they hunt again well before they have to hunt again that could be up to two weeks before um they have to before they will hunt again they could hunt again tomorrow if there's something there yeah the the at the moment the migration isn't in this particular area so there isn't a rather large abundance of food around so they'll probably have to go uh at least a few days before they get another meal but uh when the wildebeest are in the area when the migration is here they might make a fresh kill every day not even finish the previous kill foreign foreign is the kill they must have killed it overnight so Maybe a few hours because we're the sun's just risen now about an hour ago film myself I'm not gonna walk out there in front of the camera it's probably not good idea and behind the camera there's my fingers there we go that's all of me you're getting do the lines generally make sure the prey item is completely dead before they feed no no they make sure it's immobilized so with the smaller prey that means it's usually dead but with larger prey more tougher prey like war dogs as soon as it's on its back um they'll start eating if there's only one lion then obviously to immobilize it completely it would be completely dead but when it's a pride there'll be one on the head or neck subduing it and the others will start eating as soon as it's on the ground [Music] yeah no vouchers also because it's it's so cloudy and cool and vultures need hot air to get up into the air high enough to be able to see what's going on so when it's cloudy and then it's low Cloud as well it's very Misty this morning they won't be up yet so Sun's got to burn off some of this Cloud before the vultures appear and with the vultures that might attract the hyenas as well how many cups there's nine Cubs in total last time I counted they're not all on camera at the moment there's a few of them in the longer ass in the background a couple of them on termite Mounds around and they're all just under a year old I think the oldest ones might even have turned a year this this month just thinking because I saw the oldest ones in October last year so yeah they could be could be already a year old and then the younger ones were born around December time or November December in the section foreign the buffalo's face the meat has been taken off the nose and the cheeks it's typical when you've got Cubs in the pride and the adults are feeding they all go and get the softer Parts away from the main body when it's when there's less cabs or the camps are older then that might be some of the last things that get eaten I don't have a long-range microphone on the live camera on on the other cameras you'll get uh better audio when I upload it properly better film quality as well sure on this camera what you're hearing is lots of vehicles moving around and an airplane foreign [Music] yeah and a big coal like this where there's still a lot of meat there at the mail will uh fight for his particular spot where he's standing but he won't worry about the rest of the pride feeding it's only on smaller kills or when this particular kill uh becomes nearly finished then there'll be a lot more aggression between any members of The Pride even the youngsters as to who gets the last bits of meat so the males are generally a lot more tolerant of the younger ones feeding than they are of the lionesses people is getting continue so they're spotted in the distance so there's more of the pride in that general direction reflect the Lioness it's heading off to him take a rest Australia where we are right now and we would actually expect or be more likely to see the Marsh pride here or members of the Marsh pride maybe not the core Prime but members of the marsh crime so it's kind of surprised to see the entire Paradise Pride so far towards the marsh really but they've been pushing this way recently they've been following the buffalo herd and successfully it seems you want to see the surroundings let's zoom out that's what we're looking at the escarpment in the background the trees there are along the mara River they look for what I love the plant have already gone for water it rained heavily last night so there's lots of Puddles around so they haven't gone that far what is the temperature there in Fahrenheit I have no clue I don't really even know what it is in centigrade right now it's it's cool because it's cloudy um I'm sure some people would say it's cold but I don't get cold so I don't know Jeffrey can your phone tell us what the temperature is in Fahrenheit right now it's less than 20. yeah maybe maybe 16 17 degrees Centigrade I don't know what it what that is in Fahrenheit unfortunately smelling Coalition no the Musketeers were Scarface and brothers of which there's only one left morani Scarface died earlier this year as did sikio and Hunter went missing missing almost two years ago so that's that Coalition used to have this area they used to have this Pride many years ago that any threat to this Coalition from other males they're spreading themselves a bit thin they've got this Pride excuse me we've got this prior to Paradise Pride on this side of the river and then they've got I think they're pushing into two or three different Prides on the other side of the river where they are here it's usually only Dollar on his own the other guys don't come here so often we're very very close to where half tail and Logo are with the marsh point right now effects if I look in the right direction I can more or less see where half Dale was sitting um earlier maybe about a kilometer and a half away um so so that could be a threat um and then I'm not sure what the males are like on the other side of the river I don't go into the triangle foreign did he ever have a brother he's got four brothers that they were and five brothers uh originally um then him so it was a six-member coalition they were called the six-pack when they first started moving into the area and now they've referred to as the bill of Shaka males uh there's the five of them left four with the other Prides one with this Pride someone asking about the weather it's been hot in the days except for today and then rainy in the afternoons uh the last week or so quite heavy rains in the afternoons and that's why it's so cloudy today it rained most of the night last night because what happened to the sixth Line This Six Mile um babaya was in a fight with um three younger males the seller's mouth towards uh Recaro area after that fight we had very heavy rains and floods so he could have died from injuries in the fight he walked away from the fight but he could have died from injuries in the fight or in the six months where the entire area was inaccessible anything else could have happened but it's likely those injuries and the fact that the territory in that area doesn't have a lot of prey probably led to his demise foreign how often do I come alive not often enough not often enough there the Signal's very patchy in the mara and often we have great sightings that I'd like to go live for but there's not enough signal to do it and luckily today we're right up on top of the hill today so perfect signal foreign [Music] [Music] distance away where people are quickly having a toilet break so he's looking at those people peeing and they're actually quite far away so you see he's not too bothered foreign himself now will the brand have to travel to the river to drink no no there's plenty of water around after the rain so there's puddles everywhere any specific time to roll you usually uh in the night um sound carries further at night so early mornings late afternoon sometimes as well very unusual to hear them raw in the middle of the day looks like he's going to go and flop down in the grass somewhere digest for a while and then come back and eat again later how odd the man and female when they reproduce females anytime for three years upwards males it will depend when they can get a pride they're they're able to reproduce also at three years but they don't usually get a pride until they're four or five the black part on the ground close to us is mud and blood bottom corner there it's where they obviously opened it up first and as they fed they've dragged it a little bit down let's make that in the face that's not a good idea really luckily it's full and doesn't care well then when they take to finish breakfast they seem to be finishing now and then they'll rest in the close vicinity and make sure none of the Scavengers come and then they'll start eating again um yeah it can be because they haven't all eaten at the same time it can be staggered some might start eating again in 10 20 minutes and others might only come back in an hour bigger Buffalo's hide looks like it was cut with a knife because that is the way that lion's teeth work their their teeth at the side of their mouth are basically like a big pair of scissors so they use the side of their mouth to cut through they cut basically a straight line as they move their head it's called a carnacio shear and it's extremely sharp even cuts through the smaller bones yes would a male sleep with a Linus that's what you mean mate with a lioness that's related yes they would they they're not bothered by things like that Old Stone now he's about seven um seven coming up for eight I think um something like that yes they were with the Marsh pride but they they left the Marsh pride to go to the tape you pride and they left the topic right to go to the paradise pride and the four other males have almost completely left the paradise Pride to go to the river pride in the hullabaloo Pride on the other side of the river now moving behind to look after um all these cups nine cups here do I know about the seller boys where they came from well they came from the Salas Pride that's why they're called the seller's boy sellers pride is one of the Prides right down on the Sand River area and the border with Tanzania as far as one Co listen to the other it varies it varies at the moment and we've got the logo and half tail they're about a kilometer and a half from here and then on the other Edge on the other boundary of the the paralyzed Pride you've got the uh sellers males but that would be four or five kilometers from here at the moment and then the other side of the river I'm not sure what the territories are like the lionesses helped the male to defend the pride um when they have to yes do they usually eat the head as I was saying earlier um you obviously went on at that point it's very typical that the head is eaten like that when you've got a lot of Cubs in the pride and when they first start on the kill the the adults will get the softer parts and the Cubs will be left to eat around the face like that when there's not so many Cubs or when the Cubs are older they'll still eat like that but usually later when there's less of the kill around all right as we've only got one left feeding I think we'll wrap up for now thank you very much for joining us and as I always say when I finish alive hopefully we'll go live again later and then it doesn't happen for like a week so we'll see what happens but one last question why do they eat the eyeballs because they're nice and juicy that's that's why um no other reason all right thanks everyone even the last one's finished so the feeding is finished time for everybody to sleep we're going to have breakfast ourselves bye bye
