Beautiful Dark Mane, what an impressive and majestic lion you were and as the tears flow we remember you. That you managed, through sheer strength, determination and will power, to walk so far with devastating injuries is a tribute within itself. Outstanding effort beautiful boy. You have left your legacy and you can be proud that they too will one day be future Kings. Rest easy now Dark Mane, it has been such a priviledge to have known and loved you. ❤💯.. Beautiful tribute Pikkie, thank you so much. May he rest in peace.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute of our Beloved Dark Mane ... I'm still crying from the sad news earlier he meant alot to me ... he looks so handsome in your videos what a true legend Dark Mane was a very handsome boy ... now he is no longer suffering and is together with his Brother Blondie in Lion King Heaven 🙏🏿🙏🏿
You Came, You Saw, You Conquered 🦁👑 Dark Mane Avoca, I mean THE Dark Mane you have accomplished all that you were here to do. You Are Legend in Wild Life History, and now Spirit Guardian over your sons. Blondie will be there to welcome you with open paws🐾🦁🦁. You maintained to the end in Dignity, Majestic Grace, Gorgeous Avoca Good Looks, and such power that the mere sight of you still scatters Wild Dogs. We will remember you with love and admiration while rooting for your son's whom you've raised up successfully to follow your Legend. Thanks for much Inspiration. 😘🦁👑See You Later Dark Mane👋🏼
Thank you Pikkie, that was beautiful ! RIP Dark Mane you did good, your genes will walk the planet as long as there are wild lions in Africa. You will be remembered!
Thank you for this beautiful tribute to our beloved Dark Mane Avoca!! He was a true warrior King!! He was a good brother and Father!! He will remain in our hearts forever!! Rest easy beautiful boy 💖🙏💖
Dark Mane was a magnificent lion. I spent many happy hours watching him sleeping and trying to motivate him to roar, telepathically, from America. Lol. Thank you for this beautiful tribute video. ❤
This is second time I’m crying like hell for a lion, first time it’s for Mr T , there was no word can describe how much respect and love for these two boys , but compared the Mr T, dark mane was been through a lot . I just wish he can get a better life in another world. We miss you and will never forget you. My king!
I know the feeling. It's hard not to get attached to these animals. I watched a tribute video of Kinky Tail and Mr. T and the tears were flowing. Same goes for Dark Mane. We grieve for these beautiful cats.
Thank you Pikkie it’s difficult to watch any of his videos he was warrior and especially a good caring father to his cubs even the sub adults he never chased them away he has strong bond with Talamati even Nkhuma pride except Mohawk but we gonna miss him RIP Dark mane
Beautiful Dark Mane Avoca. How he suffered with the broken paw,but his perseverance to survive every day pushing forward. This was a beautiful tribute, to our beautiful handsome lion Dark Mane Avoca. May you be free from pain,hope he died peacefully, with the winds beneath his feet. I truly loved this lion. Thank you. Well done,my friend.
Rest In Peace Darkmane, he is now above the clouds with Blondie. Watching his brother Mohawk 🦁 He was an amazing lion , a true king. We won’t forget him
Dark mane was the first lion I watched when i came across these sort of videos I loved watching him with the talamati pride he was such a magnificent lion a great WARRIER I'm so glad I watched him with his brothers and his pride he was a great protector and father he will be sadly missed I cried when I found out it will be a great loss he was loved and adored around the world I hope his beautiful sons carry on his legacy RIP WARRIER KING DARK MANE
Pixxie thank you so much for sharing your own personal never seen before footage - I laughed at him in his half-hearted attempt to chase off the wild dogs. Those images at night were moving, and here I am crying again for an animal I never met but followed since he entered Sabi Sands with his brothers. Dark Mane was the epitome of a legendary Lion King. I don't want to think about how his life end, but remember his wonderful life! My favorite memory is when he was just catching up to the Talamati's (there were burn breaks about) and the cubs and lionesses all ran to greet him. Such love!! We will miss you Dark Mane, and thank you.
Oh my boy, Dark Mane .. you were a truly magnificent King who loved his pride, fought & won many challenges .. this one was just a bit too much eh ... you are now free of pain and can watch over your offspring who will carry on your legacy. You will be so missed my boy 😢 Rest In Peace x Marianne NZ
My 💕, you had a king's life, seeing u thousands of miles away was such a Treet,we will miss u.U have left a legacy that will be remembered for years to come.U know watching u &other majestic felines brings such joy and peace.Rest In peace my dearest 💕💕💕💕
When I found out Dark Mane was injured by the buffalo’s herd, I know he wasn’t going to make it. It’s so sad and unfortunate, he’s been through so much as a lone lion and when he finally reunited with his brother Mohawk this incident happened. This sucks so much. The passed few years, I’ve followed the life of Dark Mane on every articles and videos possible and really admired this lion. RIP KING DARK MANE AVOCA
Thank you for sharing your video! It was so refreshing to see videos of him enjoying life! The past couple days have been nothing but the terrible assault video over and over, and the videos of him suffering. RIP Dark Mane
Many lessons… like don’t bite off more than you can chew…!!! Also the hearts can be broken.. over and over and over again 💔💔💔💔 I hope he didn’t suffer too much..!! He and his pride are in my prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🐾🦁🐾🦁🐾🦁🐾🦁🐾🦁🐾🦁 Life is full of many disappointments RIP….you will be missed but never forgotten…!!!💕💕💕😍😍😍👑👑
I'm just hearing of this sad, sad news!💔😢😭 Dark Mane tried so hard to hang on from his injuries! RIP Dark Mane! Thank you so much @Pikkie for your beautiful tribute video!
Thank you, for sharing your lovely tribute to a magnificent King of the bush Dark mane🦁I, like many are sad to know he’s gone. Yet, relieved to know he’s w his brother Blondie. No longer in pain. You’d never hear or see them complain. They kept moving no matter how hard it was. Thank you, Dark mane, for all you taught us about being a superb dominant male lion. R.I.Power
Thank you so much from my heart, for this beautiful video.i will watch it ever day, because I love and miss dark mane.he was a beautiful wonderful Lion 🦁. rest in peace now mighty warrior.i will always love and miss you dark mane..

Dearest boy, you filled our days with wonder, and beauty, and courage, and stories, and excitement. You touched so many hearts! Your life was not easy, and now the fight is over. But your legacy lives on. Rest in peace great King.
😔 I miss this boy so much, not a day goes by that I don’t think of my dearest Dark Mane, I watched this video back when you posted it but I couldn’t bring myself to write a comment at the time because I was completely destroyed and heartbroken from losing him, there are comments on UA-cam somewhere I think it was scars video of my original reaction to finding out he passed, I was absolutely heartbroken and just in complete denial. I miss you beautiful boy, Reign eternally in the Lion heaven King Dark Mane. I will never forget you!!!!.
I miss him so much nothing saddens me more than his passing I realized I didn't care as much about what was going on with lions now the lions I care about seem have been dying othawa male ginger hairybelly the othawa boys are missing tinyo blondie logol frank 2 and now darkmane so sad I just don't care I'm numb to it they can all fight it out to the death and burn down the reserves as far as I'm concerned they all are terrible and deserve to be shut down
Why don't they park rangers treat the wounds. No point in just shooting videis. If you are not planning to interfere in nature, then don't do shooting of videos too. Don't give that as an excuse not to help.
IF the injuries were inflicted by a Snare or any human then they would help in a heartbeat.. This was a natural injury that happen he got internal injuries and nothing anyone could do for him....
I believe he/she meant the broken foot. They would have had vets that could have treated the broken foot If this had been in the Maasai Mara@@pikkiesafari
Humans also don't go to heaven. We just rot away and get eaten by bugs and worms just like every other animal. That's why no one wants to die to get to heaven. Deep down, in our subconscious, we know death is the end. The very end.
My interpretation of the Bible they do join us in heaven. Lions will lay with the lamb...God loves us enough I believe that the animals we care about we will see again! They clearly show love and affection, they were made for His pleasure and ours so of course they will be in the next world!
Beautiful Dark Mane, what an impressive and majestic lion you were and as the tears flow we remember you. That you managed, through sheer strength, determination and will power, to walk so far with devastating injuries is a tribute within itself. Outstanding effort beautiful boy.

Sad. If he has next life, hope he will be the same old dark mane and have good life. Rest In Peace my beautiful friend.
I know it's true he is gone, but can't believe it at same time. Such a sad day since I heard.
It's high time to change reserve rule for injured, unhealthy animals and their treatment

Feed the animal
Abelungu niyabheda nje...ibhubesi nje selenzelwa amatribute?! Suka!
Shame on you for this comment. If you don't know emphaty stay away from here 👎
Oh conguito is mad cus someone have made a lion tribute. Lol
Well under Christianity, animals don't go to heaven so its just being eaten and rotting away for him.
Humans also don't go to heaven. We just rot away and get eaten by bugs and worms just like every other animal. That's why no one wants to die to get to heaven. Deep down, in our subconscious, we know death is the end. The very end.
You're next?????
Not in my heaven , they make life better ❤️
My interpretation of the Bible they do join us in heaven. Lions will lay with the lamb...God loves us enough I believe that the animals we care about we will see again! They clearly show love and affection, they were made for His pleasure and ours so of course they will be in the next world!
@@juliedobson3039 Yes!
Is he the one attacked by the Buffalo? I said at the time there was no way he was going to survive that. RIP
Yes he was.
