I still cry every time I think about Chela. I had finally stopped crying over Tattered Ear and then Chela got killed. She had a special place in my heart and the way I just balled my eyes out in this video you would think she was my personal cat that I lost or something. I miss her and hate she is gone. I just hope the rest of the pride will stay safe and no more deaths. The Nks were/are just as special to me as the Talamati Breakaways.
I can understand it's crazy how we get so attatched to them, it makes no difference that we have never even seen them in person. It makes no difference if we are half away around the world and only saw them thru someone else's lens. It only matters that we took the time to get to know them that we followed them all the years, every day looking to see how they are and where they are at and that they are OK. There is still a closeness we connect we with them because we do care what happens. Their pain becomes our pain, their happiness become our happiness. So yeah I get it and understand.
The resilience of the 🦁 Lions is amazing. I really appreciate what you do. I think we all have gotten so much pleasure and learned so much about these marvelous creatures. They are certainly worthy of respect, admiration and remembering when one of them passes
The snip tail Nkuhlu male was seen with 3 cubs from the Sand River pride a few days ago,so the coalition does at least have a first set of cubs. Really good presentation as always.
Amazing video as usual. I really feel bad for the loss of Nkuhumas recently...just hope everything will go better for them soon. Your video are such a treat !😊❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you for this I will watch it again because I can't write fast enough 😂 Your the best when it comes to this information. It's greatly appreciated with respect. Many Blessings to you. Sending love and light your way.
@@allaboutthelionsofsabisand2743 oh yeah BTW they always have more males then females usually because the mortality rate is higher for males then females. Now don't ask me why or how that is but that is what I have heard.
@@buffiesilver It is astounding how nature works. Especially the Kambulas had large litters with 5 male cubs in the past. I hope Tsalala has at least one female cub
@@allaboutthelionsofsabisand2743 yes its all crazy like when males start to seek new area after being with a pride after so long and I think it's so they do not have inbreeding.
Thank you so much for the updates, fantastic video, I so love lions. Fingers crossed for our beautiful Tsalala lioness and cubs and looking forward to the tribute video on the amazing and legendary Chela. She was a capable and loving Mama. Will never forget her. RIP ❤💯
Chela anburn eyes, blue eyes, ridgenose, the matriarch of the Nkuhuma. They all will be missed. Love them. Wild earth taught me everything about this pride. They don't know who kill her it was so many lions that day.may they RIP. It not in just kambula males. Don't forget about the Queen. Their sister. Singita smart she hunts in the day and stay with them at night. That is smart.
All three big coalitions in sabi sands have alott of cubs to protect Ndhzengas , Gjimas and PCM , they are more than able to protect them , I dont see any coalition facing them right now , lets hope they dont get sick/injured
Thank you for these videos. This is really awesome documentation to make public and I'm excited to see what we learn in the coming years. Really thinking of making it out there next year.
I love learning about lions and their families. It's so hard to see any of them die, because they start to feel like my family. I know it's nature and people can't interfere with them but I wish it was set up and funded so lions could get medical help when needed, and even food or water if extreme conditions existed. In any case, thank you for these videos, the narrator's voice is wonderful.
I wonder what happened in the West with the Othowa pride. The two young Othowa lionesses split from each other. Then the Tumbela male lion is now with the Nukhuma male lion in the South of Sabi Sands. It makes sense they are in the South where there is more lionesses. The Styxt lionesses are there, but is thought that they were both with or around the Sand River lionesses. I would not like to think bad, but in the video where the Tumbela male lion is roaring, and the Nukhuma male lion starts roaring; it looks like he is not as sure when roaring like the Tumbela male lion.
I did not know the story of Chela; hope the Nukhuma pride could strong and together. Tattered ear was Chelas half sister? Is she daughter of Birmingham male lions ? Wouldn’t Ridge nose and purple eye daughters of Matimbas all half sisters? May they all rest Ridge nose, purple eye, tattered ear, and Chela. How many adult lioness are in the Nukhuma pride? How many Birmingham daughters are there? What lioness were with the Kambula male lion? What lioness’s were with the young Talamatie male lion?
Chela and Tattered Ear have the same mother (Nana). Chela is a Matimba daughter and TE is a Birmingham daughter. Right now there are 4 adults lionesses and 3 subadult lionesses, I'll put a family tree in the next video which features Chela. Ridge Nose daughter was seen on Apr 28, mating with the PCM. The groupings of the Nkuhumas kept changing over several days, but the Talamati was mostly with the subs
Thank you for the video. May they all rest. The Nukhuma lionesses looked always like a bigger and stronger lionesses together. I think about when Mohawk and his brothers rip were trying to bond and spend time with the Kambula lionesses. Mohawks brother now resting; I read may had met many other male lions and once the Ndhzenga male lions came the Northern Avoca male lions went back to the north and with the Lionesses and their cubs. They spend more time with their cubs and sub adults. I just did not know the story of Chela and the Nukhuma lionesses.
Chela Nkuhuma Lioness Found Dead This Morning, Killed by Male Lion. Found on Chitwa this morning, looks as though she was killed by other lions, she had serious injuries which were fatal. ua-cam.com/video/zCbVvBHgBgE/v-deo.html
Their descendants would be all over Sabi Sand, following the Mapogo, Rollercoaster and possibly also the Split Rock lineage in the Othawa, Ximunghwe, Mhangeni, Kambula, Ntsevu , Southern and Styx pride.
The Styxt lioness the Birmingham daughter is only 7 years old? Has the Styxt lioness daughter of the Birmingham male lions; does she have sub adult cubs? From the 6 sub adults from the Styxt pride are any of them son or daughter of the Styxt lioness Birmingham daughter?
The Birmingham daughter gave birth to 3 cubs in Feb/Mar 2021 along with the Majingilane daughter who had 4 cubs. I don't know which one of the subs are hers, but I do know that from the youngest litter of 4, born in June (Rollercoaster daughter) , only one female is still alive, which means some of the subadults are her offspring.
I had always thought the young male lion was son of the Rollercoster lioness. Is the young male lion son of the Birmingham daughter? I did not know she was that young. The Styxt lioness had cubs at 4 years of age? The Southern lionesses that recently had cubs are also 4 years of age?
The young Styx male is either the son of the Birmingham daughter or of the Majingilane daughter. He is one of the slightly older subs. The RC daughter has only 1 daughter left, who is the youngest. You're right, the SP lionesses will turn 4y in September.
Yes, Chela's son is the youngest of the 3 Nkuhuma males, depicted in this clip. He recently moved with his father Mohawk and his 2 brothers back into Kruger, unfortunately I couldn't get any recent footage of them for the April update.
I still cry every time I think about Chela. I had finally stopped crying over Tattered Ear and then Chela got killed. She had a special place in my heart and the way I just balled my eyes out in this video you would think she was my personal cat that I lost or something. I miss her and hate she is gone.

Geez, 8 young males in the kambula pride? They’re gonna be tough to feed, but very formidable if they make it to adulthood.
Thank you for such great updates, i look forward to the next one 🖤

great news, thank you so much for sharing
Hey Kimberly. Hope all is well…. I was just about to say this lol. Nkhulus are proud fathers as of recently.
@@styx5131 hi Styx agtsy . Yes great news so wonderful to be able to have joy to share.
Another amazing video otw!
Awesome thank you so much ❤
you're so very welcome !
The Kambulas need to stay together to increase their chances of survival.
Yes they really do and I would say that in a years time they will be able to take what ever pride they want. Maybe not even that long.
Sempre una splendida storia 👏👏😘
Nk pride has been through a rough time and the death of Chela was hard to cope with😢
RIP beautiful girl ❤❤
And RIP Dreadlock Nhkulu❤️❤️
Today I saw a clip of the Msuthu pride and Dark mane Gijima and there were 7 cubs together playing with the male.
I'm glad the cubs are okay, I'll give an update in the next episode
@@allaboutthelionsofsabisand2743 Thank you for all the updates, I really enjoyed your videos ☺️
All three big coalitions in sabi sands have alott of cubs to protect
Ndhzengas , Gjimas and PCM , they are more than able to protect them , I dont see any coalition facing them right now , lets hope they dont get sick/injured
And we know how fast things can take place.
Yes they are all busy male lions. The Ndhzenga male is exciting seeing them. I wonder if the Plain Camp male lions would go north and stay.
@@GuillermoOchoa-vy5pm I know they are sorta partial to Gingerella and Ximhungwe females, or that's how it seems to me anyway.
Very informative
R.I.P. Chela
R.I.P. Dreadlocks
Dreadlocks is dead?
@karinajas I'm not 100% sure, but there was no sighting of him since mid February
It always a joy seeing all the cubs. The Nzdhenga male lions may have more cubs.
Wow that is going to be one big coalition when they reach maturity… These are the boys to watch in the future
Thank you for these videos. This is really awesome documentation to make public and I'm excited to see what we learn in the coming years. Really thinking of making it out there next year.
the best way to spend your vacation
It seems there is a lot of cubs in Sabi Sands.
I really look forward to seeing your video's and you have suck a great outlook!!!!!
Please send more and God bless you!

Have you seen the darkmane gijima with 8+ cubs I think it was yesterday
I missed that one, but I'm relieved that the lost two cubs resurfaced
@@allaboutthelionsofsabisand2743 do you have instagram I can send it to you
@blueplanet_2211

All 7 Msuthlu Talamati cubs have been seen with Dad and by themselves just in the last few days
I'm so happy to hear that, thanks so much for the info, Kimberly
@@allaboutthelionsofsabisand2743 yvw 😊
9:54 - The male lion mating in that clip is the dominant Nkhulu male, Snip Tail (#2).
Tumbela wasn't seen mating
thanks for sharing. I couldn't ID him on the footage available. If so indeed, I'll give an update in the next episode.
HOPEFULLY
MOHAWK IS

I forgot to mention Tsala female. I believe, it is the PCM lions ,he was the last to mate with her. Can't wait until she has her cubs
She has given birth early May in Singita and hides her cubs near boulders lodge.
@@allaboutthelionsofsabisand2743 thank you Do you know how many?
not yet, I hope we get some footage soon.
Brilliant video, it's made me wonder how many of these lions are descendents of The West Street Males.
Their descendants would be all over Sabi Sand, following the Mapogo, Rollercoaster and possibly also the Split Rock lineage in the Othawa, Ximunghwe, Mhangeni, Kambula, Ntsevu , Southern and Styx pride.

WHERE IS THE BIRMINGHAM PRIDE ?
sorry, they are not featured in this series. I may cover Manyeleti/Timbavati in the future
The Styxt lioness the Birmingham daughter is only 7 years old? Has the Styxt lioness daughter of the Birmingham male lions; does she have sub adult cubs? From the 6 sub adults from the Styxt pride are any of them son or daughter of the Styxt lioness Birmingham daughter?
The Birmingham daughter gave birth to 3 cubs in Feb/Mar 2021 along with the Majingilane daughter who had 4 cubs. I don't know which one of the subs are hers, but I do know that from the youngest litter of 4, born in June (Rollercoaster daughter) , only one female is still alive, which means some of the subadults are her offspring.
I had always thought the young male lion was son of the Rollercoster lioness. Is the young male lion son of the Birmingham daughter? I did not know she was that young. The Styxt lioness had cubs at 4 years of age? The Southern lionesses that recently had cubs are also 4 years of age?
The young Styx male is either the son of the Birmingham daughter or of the Majingilane daughter. He is one of the slightly older subs. The RC daughter has only 1 daughter left, who is the youngest. You're right, the SP lionesses will turn 4y in September.
Who is Chela’s surviving son showed in the video with the nice blonde mane? Where is he nowadays?
Yes, Chela's son is the youngest of the 3 Nkuhuma males, depicted in this clip. He recently moved with his father Mohawk and his 2 brothers back into Kruger, unfortunately I couldn't get any recent footage of them for the April update.
