Dark Manes death is one that still hurts today 💔
What a terrible ending for Dark Mane. It's sad that any of them die and every year when this video comes around it reminds us of the hard life these animals have and how tough each and every one of them needs to be in order to survive at all.
King Dark Mane: Exemplar of Nobleness Tall, dark, and handsome. Valiant, noble, and steadfast. These are some of the adjectives that describe the beloved King Dark Mane Avoca. Never did diabolical aka's or beastly appellations adhere to this solitary lion king. Dark Mane represented a kinder and gentler era than the generation that he followed-- large militaristic coalitions with rule-the-world ambitions and live-by-the sword existences. He patrolled a straight and narrow path. Never was there a kink in Dark Mane's tail. He seemed more like a father who headed and protected a household than a monarch who conquered and ruled a kingdom. Rather than acquire several prides, Dark Mane dedicated himself to one pride, the Talamatis. And he did his Talamati pride proud. He helped raise seven sub-adults-- five daughters and two sons. Dark Mane's brother, King Mohawk, overseer of the Nkuhuma pride, now has inherited the Talamati pride. We wish Mohawk the best. During the last few days of his life, Dark Mane was spending much of his time with each of his two sons. We wonder if he was planning to form a coalition with them. We wish the two Talamati princes much success as they form a coalition and continue their father's legacy-- a legacy of nobleness.

This is heartbreaking. I didn't realize we lost so many. I remember when Purple Eye returned on Djuma with that eye injury. I'd assumed it was a feeding injury, but just my thought. How did she die? She wasn't old, ugh. And Amber eyes, I adored her. Are the Nkhumas raising her cubs? She was so feisty, such an asset to the pride. I just don't understand what happen, Mhangheni too? She may have been older tho? Sorry for all the questions, obviously I missed a lot and trying to process.💔

Sooo sad. I just like to think that they’re in another place/realm, romping around like cubs again or relaxing under some trees with their pride members that have passed before them. I always like to think this when I hear of one of our lions passing, or when one of my pets pass away. Whether you believe in it or not, it’s still something that can give you a calm feeling about it. ❤
This year was really hard for the lions. We lost many of them. I can't stop crying. I just want them to thrive in the wild.😔
R.I.P. Beautiful & Great Fearless Queens & Kings R.I.P.! Like many others, I'm still devastated, heartbroken and 😭 😭 about the loss of our Extraordinary & Phenomenal Warriors. As difficult as it is to see this Wonderful Reminder, it's great to be Reminded of such Giants. They're Gone, Never Forgotten! Thanks Scar, Never Let Us Go To Long Without Seeing Them! Lovely Presentation!
After mourning the losses of each of our beloved Lions & Lionesses I appreciate the closure this honorable summary video provides, it's of great value. SCAR thank you for this narrative and beautiful footage of their lives.
A Moment in Lion History: Remembering King Tinyo Battle-Hardened Warrior/Softy Lion Dad Rugged, battle-scarred, and with a disheveled mane, King Tinyo Birmingham looked like a big Teddy bear that had been played with a lot. He was one of the fiercest warrior-kings to ever stand his ground in Sabi Sands. But underneath the battle-hardened veneer was one of the most affectionate lion dads whose favorite pastime was playing with his many cubs. After King Nsuku passed away in 2019, Tinyo, when he wasn't patrolling territory, spent much of his time mentoring the Kambula cubs in Mala Mala while his remaining coalition brother, King Nhenha, coached the Kambula sub-adults. Tinyo entered the Peaceable Kingdom in November 2021 at age twelve. He carried with him the name of his fathers, the three Birmingham Elders. He was predeceased by his coalition brothers, Scrapper, Mfumo, and Nsuku. Tinyo was closest to Mfumo. He and Mfumo protected the Nkuhuma pride while Nsuku and Nhenha oversaw the Torchwood and Styx prides. Scrapper, the most aggressive member of the Birmingham Coalition, passed away young at age five. Tinyo had a fifth brother who passed away before the coalition entered Sabi Sands from Timbavati. Tinyo is survived by his brother, King Nhenha, by his nephews, Prince Mfumo(Nkuhuma) and Prince Torchwood, and by a niece, Princess Tsalala. The next to last veteran of the Era of Warfare Lions(Nhenha remains.), King Tinyo Birmingham was one of the five reasons(Scrapper, Mfumo, Nsuku, Tinyo, Nhenha) why the legendary Birmingham Coalition was one of the greatest.

The sighting you have here on the Nkuhuma subadults is the last confirmed sighting of Amber Eyes boy. That sighting was September 12. Now 3 of the nkuhumas second litter are also now missing believed due to the Mala Mala incident with the Ndzenga males a few weeks ago. Heartbreaking

Also, 1 Nkuhuma sub male out of 5 has supposedly not been seen since October; then there was the 1/5 Talamati female subs killed by probably the PC males in Singita earlier this year.

In 2021 I was shadowing Othawa male without documentation waiting to be approved for a ankle replacement back here in the States which came that same week so I headed back to the states to get it done . That's when I got word that the Othawa male had died and I was crushed as I wanted document him but wont get that chance . Fortunately I've been told I'm fully recovered and can resume my work so I'm heading back Africa in mid. March to do what I love to do which is study , document and Learn and save my beloved Lions 🦁
I love Lion stories!
My deepest condolences 🙏 prayers goes out to their families
Thanks for the informative videos. Feels sad that many famous lions lost each year. May I know the status of the new 6 male lion coalition that comes from the Kruger? They have names?

The year 2022 has been a dark one, a lot of sad loss, bad news after bad news...I don't like to see a Lion die, even when I don't know him, but when it's a Lion or a Lioness that I like very much, it's hard...I must say that the loss of the three Lionesses of othawa pride💔and the four sub adults,💔really made me sad, I thought I was seeing pride take on a new breath, with Autie and aging Mama, I already saw Sassy take over as guide and dean with the young subs but nothing happened as I would have liked and it was shock after shock and a disaster for the pride…I still don't understand why they euthanized Sassy, she didn't look so bad (compared to other Lions), for me she got overwhelmed and didn't know what to do next the death of her aunts...but they shouldn't have euthanized her, but rather helped her, maybe she would have regained the desire to fight...I place all my hopes e of the two remaining Othawa sub adults❤️I hope they make it...a big thought for all the other deaths of Sabi Sands this year, DarK Mane💔Blondie, Limper💔the Mangheni Lionness, Silver Eye,💔Amber Eye , Purple Eye💔the Talamati female and the oldest female Styx💔I also think of all the sub adults❣️🌹who have disappeared...
This year almost made me quit following lion dynamics after Blondie and DMs death. But I couldn't stop following the ones that are still alive. Have to learn not to get attached.
Also split lip, Frank2 ,Jesse2, s26 male. A sad year for these beautiful kings and queens.
The Mhangene Pride female of the sired Mapogos.. 💔😭😭
I spent time watching safari live,looking at the prides Nkuhuma during the time when Mfumo and the rest of the Birmingham's were still alive and the Matimbas too.The Torchwood,Othawa,Mhangeni prides were still intact.Good place and show.
What is the latest with old Birmingham male nhenhe and his son nkuhuma male please? Last I heard they put pressure on the last tumbela male and won his territory but haven't seen anything since. Thank you in advance

The Northern Avocas have really done well for themselves during their Prime years. I've heard that the Tumbela Coalition is from the Nharu Pride and one of their Gorgeous brother Lanbile joined the Tinswalo Coalition. Please who are their Daddies? Offering energies of peace, safety, and abstinence to the remaining Tumbela Male as he looks after two surviving Othawa Lionesses from Sassy, and eventually joining forces with new Coalition partners.
Rest in peace King and Queens
This breaks my heart. I didn't know 4 of the Othawa subs died. What happened ?
The biggest loss The Ottawa Pride? Very tragic absolutely. But the biggest loss??? For some people, yes. Certainly in numbers. Biggest loss for a lot of others - that would be Dark Mane & Blondie! 😢😢😢😢😢😢. Dark Mane’s unexpected & tragic death so close to Blondie’s was absolutely devastatingly tragic that affected thousands of people. Some will never forget & never fully get over it. 💔💔💔💔💔💔
No Birth No Death..Just Continuation, the lions live on in their sons and daughters and in the ground and in the trees...Tich Naht Hahn 🙏🏼
Maybe if the lodge owners hadn't relocated the Tumbela males into the Hairy Belly Matimba Area. But the laugh is on them. They relocated two loaded with Bovine TB. Yes,they relocated them. No way they got through Othawa male and Magengi pride. Use your heads. They didn't want old Hairy Belly Matimba to show off. They want younger versions to show off. I'm sure Hairy Belly Matimba would have stayed and fought.
RIP to all the fallen King's 🙏🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁🦁
Yup, some not listed who should be. Tr1x 24 mentioned 2 important ones. I will say this: 2 Mangheni subadults (OM their father); 3-4 Styx cubs; 2 Tumbela males/1 remaining; 3 adult Ottawa lionesses gone + 4/6 cub-subs. Uncertain if a 4th Styx cub lost to the Nkhulu males; also, possibly 3/7 Nkuhuma cubs gone--still uncertain.

I do wish & maybe would like to request that for tributes, that the lion’s death or dying body not be shown. It is tragic enough that we’ve lost these incredible animals & hard enough to come to terms with. Please, there’s no need to show them at their worst. Show them at their best.

The Ross males are old and are largely nomadic now. The were pushed out of the Birmingham pride earlier this year after steady pressure by the younger, stronger Mbiri males, who have taken over the Birmingham pride now. Luckily, the white female and her sister/cousin subadult females were old enough not to be attacked. The Mbiri’s have accepted them. The white male and his litter mate were forced to be nomadic by the Ross males at the end of their reign, but they are doing well. They are seen back with the Birmingham pride when the Mbiri’s aren’t around still. I have no news on the 3rd subadult male that was a few months younger than the white male and brother. The YBM and YTM are now called the Mongawane coalition and is still nomadic in the timbavati, as far as I know. I haven’t seen any updates on them since they were associating with the Avoca pride some months ago.
