That is so sad. A loss whether an adult or cub, is always heart breaking to see.
Is it a loss when that same lion creates loss by killing another animal? This was awesome to see.
@@mgtowdadRUclipsSucksCoxksGet a life id trust a lion more than a leopard they kill lion cubs so do hyena stay away from mine thats jungle law and animal kingdom.
@@mgtowdadRUclipsSucksCoxksAnd no one likes to see deers killed for food but they must live of course you could feed them daily with fresh meat how sill is your comments are you 12 grow up.
The other two cubs don't look so good either. The mother must not been nursing the cubs enough..
Nature is so harsh, this is very sad indeed. RIP little one. Thank you for keeping us updated, as sad as it is, the updates are always appreciated.
Nature is not harsh. It's nature. If this line would not have died. He would eat you in the wild. He's going to eat gazelle and Impala and warthogs. This is no tragedy or anything harsh or sad. It's another animal dying in nature. Get a clue.
A sad episode indeed but this is the reality for these wild animals we love to follow and learn about. It's not always going to be good news all the time as much as we would like for it to be, unfortunately. Thank you for updating us and explaining what happened. Take care and stay safe!
Hey beautiful
I watched the first episodes mother an 3kids.the other 2 always played around an one little onealways pushed her outs.we are humans being compared with the animal life just like one kids in a family always left behind an this is just like leaving in an empty an lonely life.its so sad of loosing her buts mother sometimes not in her hands to takecare all the kids an the family. .🙁😔😔.
Aww such a sad situation , first time mum too .. I know & understand. it is nature but it still doesn’t make it any easier to view. 🐾😢
Thank you for the update
Marianne NZ
She not a first time mom this is the same lioness on jr cubs they died
You’d think the mother lion would recognise one of her babies wasn’t thriving like the other 2 😟
Wouldn’t it be beneficial to the pride to keep all the cubs healthy?
Living in the wild is tough! 😔
I think they only want the strongest to pass there gene's down.
Mon is perhaps not experienced enough
Lions allow this if there are multiple cubs but not if there are few
Survival of the fittest..
It is very sad and Nature is so rough. Many Lion cubs don´t survive and especially if the litter is born from a first time mom lioness. Rest in peace little one!
Oh my gosh I cant continue to watch.. this poor little cub is suffering. Trying to survive... I know you cannot intervene...so wish sometimes we could. RIP LITTLE ONE
It's always sad to see a cub die from starvation. Any lion death is heartbreaking. Thank you for the update.
Lmao
I disagree that any lion death is heartbreaking. I have seen some amazing and awesome ones.
Nature can be so harsh! Thank you for posting!!
It's not nice or harsh. Good or bad. It's just natural.
Goodbye little one. RIP.
The pride is starving. The other two cubs are looking weak too.
Rest in Peace little one. This is the way of nature😿💔
It is Not nature she keeps not letting her cubs feed. Not normal at all
@@Pawsandtales321 Oh gosh - we have some Andrea Yates lionesses' around here!
@@auntiez4917 at least she’s knowledgeable
@@Pawsandtales321 oh yeah I remember those two little cubs that Kevin saved, they grew up to become beautiful lionesses, I actually think one was a male, is that right? I’m a big big fan & a member of Kevin Richardson & his absolutely beautiful lion prides.. it’s a pity there’s not more Lion Whisperers around
@@greeneyes325 yes, Meg and Amy. Meg has both male and female organs…. She was spayed even before they found out she had male parts also. Amy passed away at 16 almost 17. I really hope he can pair Meg with icarus, who lost both brothers due to age/Illness. At least they will have companionship.
So very sad for little one who couldn't get enough milk you could see from previous vid that he or she was under weight from trying to get in and have a meal rip little darlin
She the same lioness with jr cubs starve she will not laid right to let her cubs feed she has 4 tits and only allowed two to suckle if the rest died then we will know she is a cub killer
I did not bother to watch because I knew since last video when I saw she had new cubs and she would not let them feed what was going to happen. This same lioness let her other cub that was Junior’s die of starvation because she would not let it feed. Very very very sad.
I believe she is a bad mother
I remember a video a while ago of a Mbiri lioness with a tiny, tiny cub that she wouldn’t feed. I can’t believe that’s her again! I know she’s a new mother but so are the Nkuhumas who have been fantastic with their cubs. Just so sad….
@@stephanie021 yes it her again. I saw last week when she would not let them feed it would happen again. Did you happen to see the WE show tonight
@@kimberlylopez9402 I just watched it and I wished I hadn’t. Dark Mane’s been on Little Gowrie where the 5th Mantimhale and son was spotted over the weekend. Now he’s north. Poor boy has been clearly walking great distances and I wish people would inform us on lion dynamics and not waste time making stupid jokes.
@@stephanie021 The Nkuhumas are amazing with their cubs; but also remember 3 mothers are all raising their cubs together. This makes a huge difference in whether these litters are successful. Still, it sounds like this lioness doesn't need anymore cubs. NONE!
Amazing footage of the lioness and cubs. Very sad the little one didn't make it. Thank for the wonderful game drive.
How sad poor little guy one feels so bad but nature is as cruel as it is beautiful, R I P little one ❤️
One surviving cub is so thin I don't know if it will survive. Mum needs to learn how to feed them properly. Really sad.
Really miss seeing Tintswalo daily on WildEarth.
Breath takingly beautiful the sounds the sky thank you for sharing
Not to take away from a life list. I hope the other 2 a still alive.
Do not tell people this is her first litter . It is Not. She did this to Juniors cub as well.
no, this is her first litter, this is one of the younger lionesses born in 2016. Ncila's sister or Mandevu's
I hate when the guides just spew whatever comes to their minds. She's not a young lioness, you can tell by her yellow teeth. It makes me question how much they really know about what they do
@@guidododo4822 ??? She is quite literally Ncila's sister, she is one of the 4 Mbiri females born in 2016. The other 2 females are old lionesses born in 2013, and one of those has 2 of Junior Nkuhuma's cubs. Don't talk if you don't know anything at all.
She is daughter of Skorro Thanda Impi.
@@binalmistry it is NOT her first litter. The Lioness has a video of Juniors cub weak and dying from starvation and her just licking it. Edit - not letting it feed Look it Up
@@kimberlylopez9402 Oh ok - got it! I wonder why she is actively killing/starving her cubs? Maybe she doesn't know any better 🤷♀? She let out a big growl as they were trying to get milk. Maybe it's painful for her?? If this is the case, she doesn't need anymore cubs 😢.
Hmm - Most prides have cubs in groups. Are there other lionesses in the pride and do they have cubs?
Rest In Peace little one. 😢🙏
We've seen many Lioness' with more cubs to feed that live (when not sick or taken out by predators), does she have to learn that she has to lay in a way that feeds them all or is this something we're just not shown in most videos... that some cubs die because of 'competition' for Mom's milk?
Heartbreaking 💔 to see the baby cub dead 😪🙏 to you little one gone too soon didn't have a chance to grow! 🌻
Regarding the dead cub...do You think it's possible it became sick? It didn't look super thin, so I'm not convinced it couldn't compete for milk. Plus, it's pretty common for lion cubs to compete for milk. Seems to take more than playful competition to kill baby cub.
Sadly, no. It definitely staved to death. This mother lion was known for having issues with her mothering. She had another cub that died after she refused to allow it to suckle. This is how cubs look when they starve. People expect to see an ultra ultra skinny lion in this case but especially for cubs, they can starve to death while still not looking overly skinny. They become weak very easily if they don't eat and that's what happened here. It 100% died of starvation.
You are doing a good job, Virtual Safari!
Awww...RIP Little One.💛
If Lion's Milkflow works like human's, the body adjusts to increase milk production by frequently feeding the Little Ones. More access for suckling increases the flow. Good of you & considerate to give the Lioness & Cubs their space. I sense that she's stressed, but coping while focusing on the 2 remaining Cubs.
Another good report, however on a sad situation. Have a easant day.
Awww when they were cuddling with mom….🥺❤️🥰 thee sweetest!!!
Feeling sad, pain just reading the caption. Well, now this little one can be free from this savage world. Some other young cubs look malnourished. They r so vulnerable to predation, starvation. Cubs’ mortality is so high. It’s a private game reserve. C’mon, give, do something. If these majestic beings had more access to food sources & lands, their existence wouldn’t be so brutal.
My god R.I.P. SO MANY BIGCATS DYING R.I.P. LITTLE SOLDIER ❤❤🐾🐾😪😪
The lions are so beautiful & majestic. 😊💜🌸🦁
I feel so sad for the dead little one. I wish the lioness could have done something earlier to help the weak one, but I also heard that usually lion or tiger mums give more love to the stronger ones. I guess that is the jungle law.
I know it's nature but that's just plain cruel
It's heartbreaking to see this little one dead💔there is another one that is thin and the other seems more aggressive. I don't know the reasons for this tragedy, but I wouldn't say that this Lioness is a bad mother, as I often say, it's easy to criticize the warm ass !! Maybe she doesn't produce enough milk, maybe she doesn't know how to do it, maybe the little ones are sick, there are surely full of hypotes, even if we don't like what 'we see, it's part of nature…there are things that we will never be able to explain or understand. I hope the little ones will survive🙏💗
Agree with you...btw....lioness could be sister of the 3 pride males?
When feeding their cubs I've seen other lionesses turn their body much more than this lioness does. Some look like they are basically on their back, not just their side like this lioness. My guess is this mother's instincts haven't fully kicked in yet to where she understands that she needs to rotate more.
@@mariusadriancuc377 Yes it is quite possible, sister or cousin…
@@christophermartinez8853 Yes I also think, let's hope that things will be better for this mother in the future, that she will give a good breastfeed to her little ones who need it.
The darker side of nature. It's not all cuddles and cuteness.
It looks like bite marks on that little cub, so the other 2 little cubs gave him those bite marks???? Or was it the mother I’m confused?
I would like some information on the different types of flies that constantly harass these animals.
Like here in Quebec we have black flies, mosquitoes, deer flies and tiny "no see 'ums".
This is so sad but it's the harsh reality of lion lioness & cubs life
All the cubs are extremely skinny. That is interesting. Is Mom producing enough milk? Is she choosing to not nurse as often as she should?
We are not sure why they are so skinny, there is no pressure on the pride, lots of prey. Could be that she is not producing enough milk
So sad to watch, poor baby god bless you soul angel, I hope rest of the angels going to be ok god bless you all angels 😇
3:05 that face lol 😆
I thought a cub can suckle from any mom? And doesn’t a lioness have 4 teets? This doesn’t make sense if there’s other moms in the pride AND it’s just 2 other cubs in the dead cub’s litter. This cub shouldn’t starved till it died.
She's not laying appropriately so the cubs can drink. She finally did later in the video. But the 3rd cub was starving and she was refusing to lay so it could drink. Only 2 nipples available (and barely) when she is sitting up like that. Yes, lionesses have 4 nipples; however, they are of no use if the lioness won't allow the cubs to drink.
I don't believe the fighting was solely about dominance...though the hungrier the cubs are, the more aggression there will be between them. But 3 cubs, 4 teets and another female with (2?) cubs, 8 teets, so not like there aren't enough to go round. Possibly a combination of circumstances contributed to the death of the cub. Lack of milk? Poor quality milk? Inexperienced mum? Illness?
The true is that lioness probably didn't even encourage the little one cub. If lioness sees that one of her cub is smaller and not so courageous as the other ones, she just skips it.
Junior cubs died this is the same lioness she never want to lay correctly to feed her cubs
She laid correctly in this video.
@@nammoo89 I mostly saw her upright. If she lies down correctly, it's not for long.
@@nammoo89 not when she had three cubs
@@falanajerido875 But this clip is jus a blip in time, do we know she doesn't expose all 4 teats at all, at any time, there's 24 hours in a day, seven days in a week...?
@@kath6726 But this clip is jus a blip in time, do we know she doesn't expose all 4 teats at all, at any time, there's 24 hours in a day, seven days in a week...?
Thankyou Virtual Safari
The babies look thin and hungry and with mom's lack of experience, these cubs must have sufficient milk and water.💔😥
They need to keep an eye on her
That other one looks pretty thin as well. I wonder if something else is going on
Tina CA Thank you for your sharing video 👍👍👍👍👍😄😄😄😄😄
*Would Tintswalo move the dead cub carcass?Or would it be left to nature?*
*Because an autopsy could confirm COD.*
this has nothing to do with this video but your voice & accent are lovely. like seriously music to my ears, wow
@zobes
So sad the poor little one no chance was there surviving, is so hard for them too. Mother Lioness looks tire, the two little cubs only one looks healthy, is too much stress papa Lion his mane is almost gone His is like an old man. God bless them with health and plentiful food Thank you for updating
Such horrible news rest in peace little one
Oh no! Nature is a mix of cruelty and beauty😥
From some later comments, im reading that this has happened bf will this lioness losing prior cubs during t not letting them feed properly
; is it true ?
I have to wonder if somehow that other cub wasn't actually hers. Maybe it got adopted from another pride.
Very sadly poor mommy lioness heart breaking for her and her death cubbie 💔😔
Is this 4 rakat for salatul duah or Fazr?
I see baby Bear Cubs doing the same thing. I know it’s the survivor of the fittest, but I wish there were more lions in the wild. The same with Grizzly Bears in my country and more Tigers in China and India and, more big Elephants here also.
Inexperienced Mother?
She should have been able to nurse 3. I wonder if the other two will survive as well.
Can you confirm how many cubs remain in the Pride in totally? 4? These two and the two Orpen cubs?
It is not her first litter. This lioness is a bad mother. She doesn't want to feed her cubs and they starve. Very sad :/
How do you know it's not her first litter? Just asking. Most first litters don't make it because of the inexperience of the Mothers. I think the 7 month old cubs born to the Nkuhumas, in March of this year, were apart of their Moms' first litters. However, it's 3 Mothers together and I think that's why those litters were successful. All cubs still going strong after 7 months.
I just see one Mother here and if it's her first litter if will be tough for the cubs.
@@auntiez4917 The Lioness channel has a video of the cub she had with Junior, he was weak and starving and she just wouldn't let him feed. The cub has died and this current litter is her second, which you can clearly see is also dying for the same reasons. Watch the video again and you will see that these other two looks pretty thin as well
@@daysipaz8312 I stand corrected. I see some of the same comments from others below. Yep - she's an awful Mom. I wonder why though 🤷♀🤷♀?? Is it painful for her to nurse? She let out a loud growl as they were trying to feed.
No more cubs for this lioness. That is all.
@@auntiez4917 I'm wondering what is wrong with her... I've seen this happen to a cat of mine. Maybe it's like humans, some aren't good for mothering.
@@daysipaz8312 Exactly this - some lionesses are just not good Mothers. These lionesses are very intelligent too. She knew that 3rd one was starving when she didn't make sure he could drink. Actually, all of the cubs are starving which is why they are being so aggressive while feeding. So the guide is wrong - competition is not what killed that cub. Starvation is. There are plenty of lionesses with 3 cubs who are able to sufficiently feed them. Hopefully, the other cubs hang on despite her non-existent parenting skills.
She and the male look well fed so I don't think it's a matter of her not producing enough milk🤷♀🤷♀...
I know there is competition but this isn't a common thing. Isn't this the pride eating a giraffe the other day? Unless there was something wrong with the cub?
Survival of the fittest is sad sometimes, but it’s nature..
So sad 😞
Awe
🙏❤️
Damn started my morning watching a leopard get killed now this
I see the one cub trying to feed other one dead .yust to sad for me to wach rip .do hope she manages to have a cub alive .poor things
This lioness is not a good mother.
She doesn't care to feed appropriately.
Don't think any of her cubs will survive.🙏
What is _"She doesn't care to feed appropriately"_ based on?
THIS SEEMS TO BE THE COMPLAINED SECTION, SO WHERE DO I LEAVE MY LIST 🤔💔
The cup next to the mom looks like it’s about to collapse. It looks very frail and very weak.
So strange to struggle for the feed. 세마리밖에 안 되는데 왜 다 먹이지 않은 것알까? 젖이 부족했나?
Those cubs love their mother.
😥😥
Nice commentary; was he the runt cos sometimes i notce on others vids that some little furballs r really bossy an want all of everything 1st
So sad for the cub😢😭
I don't understand why a mother would not feed its cub(s), unless the cub was sick?. Makes no sense from an evolutionary and survival perspective. How sad - normally cub videos fill me with joy - this one was the exception. Thanks for chronicling this all the same.
How very sad. The little cub trying to drink looks very thin and could be next.
Hy im from indonesia...🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩 i like u video.........👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I hope her other cubs will survive they look thin also
How is not saving the weak one good for conservation?
Because they have to be strong enough to survive on their own and much later when/if they go out on their own. The humans aren't always there. Natural selection is the way of nature. Lions shun weakness so they would have to take the cub and raise it in a rehab facility.
*Is the cub who passed a male or female? I assume female?*
Only the strong survive. Just like the stock market.
Mama lioness is not even mourning or bothered
Omg
I wonder if the lioness has sufficient milk or the quality be poor? The other two cubs also look weak in their hind legs and rather scrawny...one more than the other.
Will you have a PM done on the deceased cub? ❤🌹
Cubs feed.. You got me a little confused about the drinking
HARE KRSNA ALL A TIME JAYA JAGANNATH ALL GLORIES TO SRILA PRABHUPADA
Pero la madre tampoco se coloca bién para que los 3 puedan lactar, lo hace difícil.
Esos cachorros están flacos, malos tiempos acaso 😮🙁
Sorry for the cub😔
Wonder if the Mom has mastitis?
Why aren't the aunts letting them nurse?? Are these the only cubs in the pride??
It’s the survival of the fittest, weakest won’t be tolerated. And that’s why I enjoy the animals nature, the competition of it.
Why didn't she do something !?!? 😢
Cette lionne doit avoir assez d' expérience : elle ne paraît pas jeune ! Pourquoi donc a-r-t-elle rejetée son cub ? Dans cette vidéo , elle ne semble pas chercher son cub perdu ?
En principe , les mamans lionnes savent le nombre de cubs qu'elles ont , non ?
I always feel that Lions natural aggression makes it so hard f humans t get near them t help( aswell as letting nature take its course).
Unlike human parents, Mum lionesses ain't made t b interested in feeding 1 cub more than the others; its 1st come 1st served along with more dominate siblings regularly taking the best spots.
Kinda shows the different between animal instinct an human consciousness where a ( loving- cos not all mums care bout their kids) human mum wud try an give as must individual care t all her babies if she had quads, trips or sextuplets etc ( she'd hav them weighed 2)unlike a lioness running on instinct an don't understand when 1 cub maybe constantly missing out on regular milk feeds.
Mum lionesses don't have family kin or friends tell her that babies needs reg milk diet etc..
Maybe mom doesn't have much milk, I have never seen this before..
That Lioness didn't want to feed all three. It was too hot to extend the energy for them. So she decided which ever ones that was feed should be thankful. Too hot Too tired Too lazy. Better luck next litter when she feel like raising cubs. Cats have attitudes outta this world.
Lion Cubs are cute
Why do they treat these lil cubs like this ,,, I think that the mother rather see them dead then to suffer for food or other lions !!! RIP LIL CUBBY
