Are we going to talk about the cub that just crawled out of that buffalo's stomach?
until now i thought that only male lions kill cubs
I like that the first cub is attacking the Lioness with his front paw, it tries to hit her, that's so great, at least it died like a lion, fighting.

+vic Jas I really admire the fact that the lioness choose not to go straight for the kill to certify the kill and have it be the least struggle possible, it was so sexy if you ask me. Look for when it shoots for the kill and when it doesn't... It doesn't sexually arouse me but intelligently i guess.

+vic Jas they always do, that's what makes them lions. I saw a film where a cape buffalo bull killed a lion cub, and it was trampled, mortally wounded, and the bull put his nose close to sniff it, and the cub bit it right on it's snout with it's last strength. The bull then stomped it some more and it was dead.
Nature is NOT a Fairy Tale.
poor little cubs. Especially the little brave one that put up a fight.
Lil bugger put up a fight tho.
r.i.p. brave little one you fought till the end
Why does the second cub just sit there and chill and wait till death why just not run
People raised in a bubble with only Disney to "teach" them anything about animals sure are in shock when they see reality instead of fairy-tales.
didnt know lions eat their own kind....
The buffalo gave birth to a lion
Female lions can be so cruel. So can males. At least we know both can be so cruel just like humans.

She appears to have been not right in her head- as they stated this is very unusual behaviour. She's like that one psychopath out of 10.

Too bad there's no way in finding out why or what triggered her. Maybe if scientists/researchers study her brain when she dies to see if she has any brain tumor or abnormalities to gain some insight. Or she's simply just a pyscho lioness as someone suggested. I wish someone (lion, lioness, rancher) would have stopped her....
At least she did it quick. I was watching another vid where the male lion was killing the cubs and he was all sloppy and shaking the cubs around like a poor lil rag doll lol. Ol inexperienced ass.
I find it amusing how these people think that these animals are capable of human behavior. This is what distinguishes humans from animals. These people have a hard time understanding that.

Not to be a dick but seeing the number of wars, slaughters, massacres and genocides... Well... humans are kinda the same too. But that's even worse because we have the capacity to think about our actions so we should not do it...

where is the mother of the cubs?
ohh noooo
Least the little cub went out fighting :-)

He went out fighting. What do you not understand about that statement? I didn't say that the cub hit, scratched, bit, or hurt the other animal. Going out fighting has more to do with heart, attitude, and mentality rather than how many points scored. But then again, I wouldn't expect anyone with your amount of brain cells to know that. Anyone who attacks a person for having an opinion HAS to be the true moron. Bye, bye troll.
Little guys at least went down snarling.
At least they were taken very quickly with a swift neck breaking bite-we humans find this unsettling; but remember if you will, the amount of senseless murder there is among or _own_ species.
ooooohhhhh nooooooooo, oooohhhhhhh noooooooooo, Goooooooooooood pleeeeeeeeeaaase ooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooo, noooooooooooo pleeeeeeeeease Gooooood
the guy's distress in the background makes it even sadder :(
I think the cub knew that the mom was trying to kill it... Cause it turns around everything the mom turns making sure the mom doesn't attack.... Self defense is all I can say here...
I've never seen a lioness kill a cub but I noticed the one little cub being very aggressive toward her before she finally snagged it up,I don't know if it would have made any difference had the cub shown more submissiveness?I wonder if the lioness interpreted the aggressiveness of the cub as a sign that it was a threat somehow? IDK hard to watch though.

Sadly, nothing could have helped the cubs. That first one would have been killed no matter what it did. It was doing what it did (clawing, trying to roar) in a desperate attempt not to be killed by the lioness and hopefully scare it off but there was no chance of that, it was too small to threaten the lioness. The lioness was just waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

Sad but amazing video, Thank you for the clear narration
I've heard that some are killed because there isn't much food to provide for the cubs, so the lioness kills them.
This is the one of the saddest videos i have ever seen.
I know stuff like this happens EVERYDAY, but it still makes me cry everytime I see these :(
Why are they killing them ?
Why is it even happening in the first place?
No offense but the guy that was with you seemed baffled by this when it's simply how they express dominance. A mother lion will rarely, and I mean rarely, raise a cub that is not her own, not from the male that impregnated her. These are 2 conflicting prides. It's similar to why a lot of animals will kill a mother's babies before impregnating her with their own babies. Just nature.

+Brandon G Not quite. It is kind of weird, considering they are two sub prides yet related to each other. The cubs' father is the same father of the cubs of the larger pride. And not only that, but it's common for lionesses to care for cubs regardless if they are the mothers or not. The narrator commented on how strange it was and even the other lions were a little confused by the lioness's behavior.

No, this is unusual because they still smell the genes of a relative. It's like aunt seeing a nephew and killing him. It has happened, for sure, but it's particularly barbaric. Plus she continued to do it- so she is a psychopath in our terms.

I'm confused. Did you watch the video doedelzak? It literally states that they are related and interactions have occurred between them.
That poor guy in the background just pleading......
sad as fuck but remember the cubs are not from the same pride. Poor thing didnt stand a chance
Crazy. It's cruel but it's also adorable how the cub fights back! And the clueless little cub was cute too
Why did she kill the cubs sister?
Gemma from sons of anarchy
Cruelty in nature has no bounds
Why did she kill the cubs?
LIONbalism.
That killer lioness should be named Medea.
if you're going to be filming, I think we speak for most, we can do without the "oh no"
swift kill, but still, it s hard to watch.
What's frightening are the comments of people that find empathy "annoying"... The Lions aren't monsters. Humans that can view this and feel nothing are the real monsters. Worse yet, are the ones that seem to express annoyance at the man that clearly has a heart in this video. Wouldn't it be absolutely enlightening if their children were murdered by lions and we told them, "get over it, it's nature. your crying is annoying."
Why didn't the male defend it's cubs?
it's sad but I guess that's just how the wild works
Where was the mother of poor cubs, why she didn't defend them?
I dont understand...lionesses defend their cubs fiercely even against males.... why did they leave behind their cubs ??? bad mommas !!!! :(((
LOOKS THE VOLTURES.WAITING WAITING.
They died quick with minimal pain. That's why I like how lions kill, they're respectful but they still gotta do what they gotta do

+d314j4 The licking part is actually to remove the fur from the skin. Lions actually have a very rough tongue like other predators. Its like a sand paper. It removes the fur from the skin before biting a hole onto skin to eat the flesh inside. You noticed that lioness was sniffing and making bitter face .. its because it finds the cub to be repulsive somehow ..something they detest. Its not something that they usually encounter and they are confused, they know that its not one of their own as the cubs smell different... the different smell of the cubs makes them very agitated !!! Therefore they just kill it .. only thing they know to do. They make the same type of bitter face when killing hyenas too. Their sworn enemy. Hyenas are repulsive to them as they kill their young cubs so they always kill hyenas as much as possible 'cos of what Hyenas can do to their pride. Just check other video clips and you will know what I mean ..

Lone Wolf Oh cool, thanks for explaining that! That was nice of you to take the time to write that, thanks :)
in Kenya the guides with have tried to save them.. going in between with the cars. Lions are to precious.
Why is the person filming acting like this is some evil act? This is purely about survival of the fittest and maintaining the dominant status of the first sub-pride. It's strictly about keeping her own family safe in the long run, nothing more.
So why do they do this? I get why a male one does it, but why opposite groups? They gain nothing from it?
6:52 Lol ... The lion whisperer.
why did they kill the cubs
oh noooooo
5:56
kabus mama left pride what was one reason.,I THINK.
Reality may be unsuitable for viewers. Ugh.
male lion don't care about that cubs killed?
sometimes (not common of course) a pride will have a sister that kills the cubs of her own pride. maybe jealous because it has never conceived or possibly mental issues.
😥 it's so sad
Great video. Annoying commentary. Thanks for sharing.
No record of killing cubs? this woman doesn't have a clue how many cubs get killed by, yes even females. as soon as you think you know everything about African wildlife you will be humbled. I have seen 4 male lions crack the spinal cord and eat both of a rival male lions rear legs before he was even dead. watching a beautiful male Lion die like that was 20 times harder to watch than this common occurrence. I love it when people say this has never been recorded. lol
i cant see the video its too sad for me : (
so sad tears
This is so sad
Aw man..
That's Sooooooo Sad:( Leave It Live:(
Seems strange to me ?
WHAT HAPPENED!!!!????
Great video of nature
i just want there where the cubs on dingerous help
wow
When the second cub was alone I would of just picked it up and drove off as fast as possible, I don't know how people have a heart to just sit there and film such a thing and talk about while its happening.

The guy's like " oh nooo oh nooo please..." lol if u're not going to save the cub then shut up. Even though you guys are not meant to interfere with nature but aren't the lions slightly endangered? so why not just save the damn cub its for a greater good, a better surviving chance of their species and it's common sense! If humans don't interfere with nature there would be more animals of course but at the same time a lot more extinct.
save the cubs damn
PEOPLE ARE SOFT...

Wat the f** is the camera person watching
Jeez, why give the prides all these weird, complicated names? Mwamba-Kapanda? Jabba Jamba? Kappa Kappa? Just call them something like, the Bob pride. That's much easier to say.
ohhh no , ohhhh no ohhh you messed the video with your voice ...
I know this is "NATURE" but those poeple could do something about those cubs.Nowday every lion is important....
awesome I love lions my 2 fav animals
humans have done much worse. animals like a dog , cat , squirrel etc. really
Its funny how abusive their parents is.
I understand this nature and your not really supposed to mess with it, but... SCREW NATURE'S RULES you could have saved the second cub >:|
At least it was just two cubs and not the whole litter.
lol
