As a single father of several sons (all with me), I can't describe just how inspiring the story of the Notch coalition is to me.
*Please teach them that Unity is strength no matter how strong they single R!*
Stop breeding you peasant
@Ken Enver 😃
My dad rasied us by himself too ...
😂
The senior notch is such a smart cat. His legacy lives on because his remaining son did the same like him and built a new strong coalition. Very intelligent lion.
What a DAD. His DAD behavior is better than some human dads.
Fax. Show me the DAD FAX and his dad fax are A1
Amen
Hell ya i agree with that comment 100 percent!! I love lions and animals. If i ever get steady income im gonna invest in conservation :)
Amen to that
That’s because dad was forced out of his home with his sons 😂😂😂
Lions are so gangsta. Can you imagine the sight of these six males walking towards you in their prime - an awesome but terrifying sight.
They ain’t catching me I’m just built different
@AG Coarseman Bring it
Word they don't give a fuck
@AG Coarseman that can't bror
With them together, they are literally unstoppable.
'Makhulu' of the Mapogo coalition and father 'Notch' are the wisest lions I've ever heard of.
They remind me of 'Mufasa'.
Lol they remind you of a 'fictional' character? 🤦♂️🤣🤣
@@bonganimabombo9041 Mufasa is a good model of a responsible leader and father.Eventhough fictional,such characters do inspire reality positively.
@@bonganimabombo9041 They are many disney characters,that are models for both good and bad qualities.
But surely,there are also characters that influence negatively.
Notch is like Mufasa. Makhulu is more like a bigger and stronger version of Scar.
100% correct!
Moral of the story, stick with family and don't go out alone.
Thats not a good lesson. The first part is great. But dont go out alone? Hunan beings wouldn't have accomplished so much if none of us were brave enough to leave the comfort of what we know.
@@henrybasenji8943 Not my family...
@@jamieSp69 RIGHT? LOL "FAMILY" AHAHAHAH.
@@henrybasenji8943 nigga you’re missing the point. If you wanna go out, go out with your bothers. Not by yourself 😹
From my childhood i never heard that lion has make a coalition with sons. INTERESTING
Check out the Mapogos if you haven't, they're all brothers, and are possibly one of the most savage coalition there is
@@trilldadon100yago5 yup i have heard about mapogos especially about MR.T
First heard coalition of father and sons for me too
See majingilanes too
@@trilldadon100yago5 Yeah but I believe they were brothers who were 'kicked out' of their pride as is typical. This is the first I've heard of an Alpha male not 'running' his sons off out of jealousy over his females. I guess this was possible because he had no females to fight for control of...
@@Ehsan793 Kinky Tail and Mr. T have reached basically legendary status by this point. Makhulu was the true alpha of that coalition though. He was older and smarter than the others. I don’t believe he ever lost a fight and actually used to kick Mr. T’s ass all the time when he was a little younger. I’m sure they were just little scrap fights that didn’t mean anything, or they could have been over breeding rights but Mr. T challenged Makhulu often and never came out on top. Dreadlocks was a stud too. Huge lion. Second in command to Makhulu and most likely was being groomed to take over the coalition. He would always step in to take control when Makhulu would go out on patrols. He was a beast, literally...that was one of his nicknames, along with Scar, Snip Tail and Buffalo Killer because he was known to take down buffaloes by himself. He also took down a fully grown giraffe by himself. Rasta was large too. Very cold, calculating and aggressive. I think Pretty Boy was somewhat underrated. He fought in countless battles and was injured many times but he always survived. That’s why he got the nickname “The Phoenix” because he was always able to rise up again. Like I said at the beginning, Kinky Tail and Mr. T get all the action, but really Makhulu, Dreadlocks and Rasta were the studs of that coalition and kept it together. Dreadlocks was poached and Rasta was also either poached or killed by another coalition. It wasn’t proved either way. His body was never found though, which makes many people think he was poached. Losing those 2 was devastating to the coalition, especially since Makhulu was getting up there in age.
I crown notch the wisest lion king of all time. his wisdom surpassed his life span in his appropriately named son notch two who took pages from his father's book by raising forming a coalition with his own son. because of this, notch two is 15 years old and still counting, incredible for a wild Lion. moral of the story, family is everything
Find it strange that when famous lion coalitions are at their peak, all of a sudden, members of that coalition just start 'vanishing' or 'disappearing' in to thin air. People have no idea how corrupt these wildlife reserves are it's incredible. RIP KINGS.
Exactly, same for the Mapogos when Rasta and Dreads suddenly disappeared... Three words: money, hunting and (corrupt) men.
Its bad for business large coalitions. They kill off ALL male Lions and cubs around and safáris have nothing to show
@@Kinkytail_Mr.T You know what's bad for business? Corruption. You know what's bad for business? Using these animals to make money. Leave nature alone.
?? what am I missing?
@@bradjb2404 they wont leave them alone thats the problem. They make money off the beautiful Animals and go with the "we dont interfer bullshit" talk.
Notch made the coalition with his sons. And the Makhulu of Mapogos, made it with his 5 or 4 younger brothers. Notch and Makhulu are the greatest leader in Savana ever.
Notches are legendary lion, father Notch is unbelievable lion and great father
Do you chill with them often?
@@josiffexplosiff1 Do you always ask stupid questions?
You should hear the tail of old great-grandfather Notch!... it's a great Prequel
Jay L Actually the last one just died last week
Jay L Nope I’m sorry you’re wrong. All gone
Successful lions indeed. Like fathers like sons! Leaving a great legacy in the Mara land of lions. I 'm so happy about Notch 2 old king and his son and about the necessary human help that lions receive in Mara. It was beautiful to watch. Thank you Scar.
This story for me is by far one of the most memorable events to have taken place within Lion history. When I first heard about Chief and Notch immediately I was intrigued. To soon find out what took place after chief was killed…was truly inspiring. The way Notch took in his sons and formed this coalition just melted my heart. What an amazing partner he was to chief, leader, and father to his sons. He is the definition of loyalty and that exact same loyalty shows in each of his sons. What an amazing characteristic to have had and passed along down the bloodline. May his legacy run wild forever.
Both Notchs are different. This one is from Kenya while that Notch is from Namibia.
This Notch is from Masai Mara, Kenya. That Chief/Notch is from Luangua Valley in Zambia. Insefu pride (from documentary Africa's Hunters and Big Cat Country).
I have always had a deep place in my heart for Notch & all of his offspring.
Haha father and son Roaring at the end so funny and also cute...
I could listen to this price of information over and over again. These lion's are smart.
@Tony Clarke , exactly , very smart , hope you staying safe ?
"He never returned from a mission in enemy territory" They're straight gangster
Lol yeah
@Teyae T Allah is our one true god and he created us and loves us all, Islam is the one true religion, Beleive in Allah, you're not gonna lose anything, but rather, gain everything.
@@pachirsiis Spaghetti Monster is the true creator of all things. Allah and every other god are mere meat balls within his godly tentacles.
Lol
Nah bro, that hesbdvye got his 👋ass handed to him
😬😬😬😬
@@pachirsiis what do you mean gain everything
Notch and his son notch 2 were very smart lion. Naming a lion notch makes him genius.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Kinda like naming your son as 'Junior'.
I’m impressed that he was able to be the lioness and lion in one, he looked after his son’s who eat large quantities of food all by himself. While defending his territory and not leaving his son’s, this is something really amazing and special.
I know this kind of thing really fascinates me too. I often wonder about nomad males and coalitions and their survival techniques compared to the much more common pride setup. Not enough studies made on it really
Somehow I like this coalition more than the mapogos since Notch is just good and smart farther Lion King
Awesome smart Notch male took his own boys and created a coalition!! I hope his son continues to pass that down. Amazing!!!
Lether Wtf those fucking son let him down, some died some moved away... Son of a bitches
Very unusual
@@felixduma8113 can you shutup!!!
They did... Notch took Spearboy...
@@felixduma8113 How did they let him down?
Those sons spread their genes in countless prides. Thats why the notches are probably th3 most succesful coalition in history
The notch and the mapogo are arguably the best coalitions
Notch’s boys look so much like him. All absolutely beautiful.
We’re can I watch this documentary plz tell me if you know
@@lafettesimmons6735 Afican cats
You find it online
I just love how these guys connect every dot in explaining the lives of the wilderness. Thanks.
Notch 2 is FIFTEEN. That is insanely old for a male lion! Wow.
Indeed. Survivors. No pity.
Especially in the wild.
I doubt he is still alive.. Notches are long gone and they are all history..their spirits might still be patrolling what was once their territory in mara triangle.
@@sameertripathi7170 Notch 2 was alive when J so made the comment
"He was last seen motionless..." moves his head
ROTFL
Lol
Lol
A lot of these lions disappear because of human interference
Yup.. Fcking small dck hunters and poachers
@@celsomonteiro6541 Nah its just survival. Those humans do it to survive unfortunately. For money.
@@Vortex_one nah they dont do it to survive. Even if they did they can hunt easily any species which isnt endangered and survive with it. U can say that ur doing it to survive to yourself but in the end u just killing endangered species for gain and wealth (not survival)
@@abcde7478T They can hunt easily? Do you live in their kind of poverty? What country are you in honestly? Not trying to be a smart ass but just curious. If you dont live in that kind of poverty you can't say "they can hunt easily" you don't live in their shoes. Not saying this is right. By no means this is the correct way to do it. But its the way they were brought up in. Once again not saying this is justified but its all about perception and their perspective of their own lives. People from the outside watch this and think these people are evil or this and that. Some might be but some just do it to survive. Most humans look at things from their own perspective. But rarely ever stop and think what if I was in their shoes. How would I make ends meet. Most humans naturally look at it from a bias point of view and judge which is understandable. It takes time for humans to be more open minded when you travel and see the world and see different living conditions. When you live in a first world instead of a 3rd world is soo easy to judge others in poverty stricken countries on how they make ends meet.
@@Vortex_oneYou are right I live in Europe but i was in Africa several times and saw poor conditions lot ppl live in. If u start poaching lions or so u can get out of the conditions(since they are really expensive) hovewer i cant justify it by that. Poaching for me is much worse for me than robbing ppl on streets since there is a lot of pain involved(dying up to days in traps). Im also really sorry for male lions since they are destined to live cruel life even without poachers. Not even talking about some poachers even shooting and rangers.
I first learned of Notch from the Big Cat Diaries. It’s so nice to see a different view of one of my favorite coalitions.
I can't help but think, when the narrator say "one of the most successful coalitions of all time," imagine all the thousands and thousands of lion stories like this that took place over the eons. Stories that can never be told but must have been incredible.
Yes exactly. According to most youtube video's all the greatest lions have lived in the last 20 years or so lol
And they were probably greater- Bigger territories, less humans interfering, more food, bigger population, bigger size etc etc.
Notch 2 is an absolute badass. Making it to 15+ as a male lion is incredible in the wild.
How old do male lions in the wild normally get ?
Kay Janssen 8-10 years
There is also another famous coalition that happened in South Africa
The mapogo coalition
6 lions
he already did a video about them
It was notch coalition who killed mapogo lions
@@puranbisht6228 nope the majinga lions kill mr t and kinky tail and the other idk who kill them
@@samesyngkon502 Kinky Tail was killed by Majingalane males, Mr.T was killed by Selati males, Rasta and Dreadlocks were killed by humans and Pretty Boy and Makhulu died as old nomads.. Mahkulu, the oldest was the last to die..
@@puranbisht6228 Not even close.. They reigned in completley different parts of Africa my friend..
This is probably one of my favorite coalitions. So sweet that these fathers took care of their sons.
If more male lion dont mind become a single dad this lion would take over half of planet even donald trump and putin cant do anything about it
Notch and his son Notch II are very smart in taking their sons under their wings in order to keep the coalition going and perhaps rise again as the most dominant coalition later on👌
He's a Notch off the old block..
Yeah, what a remarkable strategy. Father lion makes the brain of the team with his years of experience, while the young ones replenish the strength of the group
bruh the daddy and son coalition gene is being passed on this is dope hope we see more father and sons
We have just scratched the surface of how intelligent animals are!! Life on earth is breath taking!!!!
If the all lions did that, getting a coalition with their sons, they would be so much powerful success 🥺... This is a really inspiring story
Wow! I've seen alot of lion documentaries but never a male training his son's. Awesome film!
What a magnificent coalition. They were absolutely beautiful.
this is kinda relatable in life i mean we humans have families and we sometimes go through hardships in life for me the lesson here is just keep going
Spearboy better continue the Legacy his grandfather and uncles started.
It pays to be a good dad. Kids grow up. And if you mentor them you both benefit
Grimace was my favorite, had such a savage look to him..
I am loving the Notch coalition ❤️! Awesome how dad and son actually thought alike
This short documentary gave me the greatest pleasure because I watched an older documentary with Notch as a young lion and I wondered what happened to the old boy. It's great to see he went far!
Could this be evolution working here? Normally male lions force their cubs out into the wild and kick them out of the pride. This seems very unusual and specific to the Notch coalition. Where the old dads take their cubs under their wing (increasing the cub chances of survival and conquering other prides). Plus notch son, also did the same thing. Fascinating
It's a different circumstance. Notch lost his pride to other males and of course his sub-adult sons couldn't stay with the pride under the new male rulers. It makes sense that he would take his sub adult sons and form a new very formidable pride.
Such POWER!!! Such MAGNIFICENCE!!!
IN MY VIEW
I am glad you gave this follow up on "The Notch Coalition." I wondered what happened to them. Thank you.
the fact that his son that was named notch 2 was also the last one to be alive, and doing the same thing he did, it's as if it was fated to happen
Definitely one of the most successful coalition’s Thanks for the update been so long since I heard anything on these guys
I fell in love with Notch on Big Cat Diary. 💕
what episode?
ACID So long ago I don’t remember which season(s). It was before he was kicked out and formed the coalition with his sons. Try a Google search.
@@readytogo6569 It was the third and fourth series of "Big Cat Week", as it was later renamed, that Notch was in. They were aired respectively in July 2006 and December 2007. He featured as well in "Big Cat Live" in 2008 where it was revealed that he left The Marsh Pride and joined up with his sons.
Paul Kenny Thanks!
Paul Kenny Do happen to have the Big Cat Live episodes? I collect lion documentaries and have all of the Big Cat Diary/Week episodes, including big Cat Uncut, and would love to see Big Cat Live.
Kinky tail, Mr. T (satan) and their brothers (the mapogos) were my favorite coalition. Responsible for killing more lions and taking over more territories than any coalition in recent memory. Like the Notch coalition they started to disappear and die off one by one after they all started separating from each other. Kinky Tail and Mr. T went out in a blaze of gory glory though.
U mean Kinky Tail and Mr. T died in pain
Mapogos are nowhere Notches
@@dkkevin1100 look how dumb you are thinking the notches is a head of mapogos 😂
@@mcroduaxerxes8070 yes notches are ahead of mapogos .
@@dkkevin1100 yup if the notches can expand their territory like mapogos did I'll wait 😂
Imagine the mapogo coalition vs the notch coalition... LEGENDARY
I think those two Legendary coalitions were disturbed by These evil Humans cuz most of the time Famous lions either Go Missing or Found dead........
the notches were almost unchallenged, they were just too powerful to take on, the mapogo's would not have a chance
@@lexuslfa4739 mapogo's were never defeated in a 1on1 , they even take the majingalanes 2v5.
Wow!! Never heard of anything like this before.
What an epic 5 minute story!!!
Wow......
Great narrator nice story
This is an outstanding story, can even turn into a movie
The notch story is sovinspiring. I’ve wondered how male cubs learn to become a man for lack of better term. When does the modeling take place? Notch or Kale, is a window into this process. For this reason, I prefer the Notches over the Mapogos, Matimbas, etc. to name a few.
I can see why, but the Mapogos were something to be recon with too 👍
A good father that Notch was!
Lovely video,made my Day.Great lesson for everyone
This. Thee sweetest!!! I love lions, they are utter perfection, inside AND out!!!🤎
These boys were huge, l mean massive; plenty of buffalo in their diet
Yeah definitely. They can take down much larger prey
Their favorite meal was hippo. They were notorious hippo hunters
@@pikppa No wonder, Kali and his boys look so massive; Wow,, considering how mean and dangerous they are.
Rule thier land in a decade 🔥💪
Solid vidoes mate
In-friggin-credible....!
Amazing story.
Sometimes animal behavior is just amazing
It would be awesome if the father taking his sons with him became a normal part of lion behaviour.
true. but only notch pull the trigger and later on his son notch2 copy some on his fathers playbook
I remember watching Big Cat diaries years ago and the marsh pride and Ridge pride and even paradise plains. I remember Notch, that brought back great memories of younger days gone by. Don't know just how old this is in 2020 but I am happy to hear Notches genes and legacy live on. He was a savy Lion King. Thanks for the video.
Loved the story, unbelievable, thank u so much
This is NEW to me. I always thought dad lion will kick their sons out and ruled together only with brother lions. The fact that dad and sons can live forever(or for a long time) together really sound more like human beings. I love it!
Perhaps they’re evolving
@@0-7-08 more like they have no choice. Notch's success is because him too was exiled so the in-breeding won't happen.
They would, they do that so inbreeding doesn't happen. Usually lions don't make coalitions with their sons because they either die fighting when nomands take over their prides, or their cubs are too small, so when he flees, the nomands kills the cubs.
That would happen to Notch, but he managed to keep the territory for long enough for his cubs couldn't be killed because they were big enough to flee, therefore they made a coalition together.
Thank you so much 🙏 been waiting for this 💯 keep bringing us good content
I saw you requesting this video a couple of times and here it is. Pardon me for not being as quick as I should've been but I hope you'll like it.
SCAR I absolutely like it don’t worry it’s cool you my best RUclipsr now ,Inthe future if u ever find a father son coalitions that would be a great video because I love them and it’s rare .thanks so much 💪.
The Notch dynasty is the most unique dynasty in Lion history, even more so than the famous Mapogo's
Thank you for splendid story
Excellent follow up study of lions family .
The Notch coalition was hands down the greatest!
Amazing story thx ! Incredibly highlighting what a male/son relationship in the lion wildlife can be.
I love your lion documentaries, please make more. I have subscribed 🙂
So amazing
I loved Notch & his boys! Rest well mighty King 🦁♥️
Ohh I love that the father's took their boys w/them. They helped 2 protect them & DEFIANTLY prevented the untimely death of these male sons. I know that the father's needed their sons & son just as much, if not even more then the other way around. But as a whole it was really something awesome for their stories to have this kind of experience...
I have a thought... Well I've noticed from all of the videos I've watched through out my entire life & from everything I've learned about these animals in school, doesn't it seem to be that male lions in today's day & age seem 2 be building coalition's much more often then going it alone when finding and building their pride..??..
Is my opinion at all close to the truth? Does it seem to be that male lions rather have multiple male lions within their pride, I'm assuming 4 the protection, the strength in numbers & 4 the confidence of knowing that with more males in the pride they are less likely to be killed by other rival males? I'm assuming all of these opinions but I'm basing them on the fact that I've noticed this shift within the prides over many years.
Although my only
access to this knowledge is only through what they have produced and filmed in their various documentaries they continually release 4 public viewing, as well as what I learned while in school. I have zero first hand experience with lions in real life or in their natural setting. If I did I could or would feel much more confident with my assessment or opinions regarding what I have theorized above..
If anyone knows about this topic on a more intimate level then myself, I'd absolutely love to know the actual truth of the male lions & their typical habits regarding being solo in a pack or having other male lions within the pack with them too guarantee their survival.
Learning something
new each day is what I strive for so please do feel free to educate me, I'd so very much appreciate it... Thanks so much..
👍🤗‼️ Have a great Sunday where ever you may be...‼️‼️...
ok
😂😂😂
Nice article
You should be lecturer in university
Most of the times the coalitions are always brothers Closely or of the same age that got sent out by their father so I guess it's just by luck I mean some male cubs are born been the only male in his age group in the pride hence he is the only one sent away by his father which means he is a lone male, some fight even lose their brothers before maturity so it's really not by choice but by chance
That was amazing
Amazing stories wonderful
Keep these coming 💯💯🎯
Nice to have a positive outcome for once
Wonderful story. What an alliance!!!
Awesome. 😊
Should've named "Spearboy", "Notch 3".
Wise father took his son under his wing and got control again , such a successful and kind father!
Excellent story 🌹
Wow! Amazing fatherhood lessons to even us humans
They had a nice reign.
"Went Missing"...Another way of saying "Poached"
great story thank you
Many thanks,,
Man those were gorgeous lions; and THANK YOU!! Vets of the Mara, for treating simple things like abscess, mange, etc in your lions! Thank you for trying to help Caesar!
Notch 2 is a legend like his father before him
Nice love the guys so powerful but beautiful
Sadly those missing sons was possibly Poached and killed 😢
Exactly how can a Big fucking lion go missing like that without getting spot anywhere else........Every big “Famous”coalition’s lions go either missing or found dead like seriously......same happened with The “Mopogos”
@@GulKhan-tl7ml ummmm
@@GulKhan-tl7ml Mapogos were killed because they were too savage and disturbed the ecosystem when they killed so many hyenas and other male lions.
02:37 they look like they're hair was just brushed....beautiful
They were getting vain from all the attention so demanded the makeup department give them a makeover before they'd take part in filming that day 😂.
Actually, I guess it had been raining and flattened their manes down.
Thank you so much for taking your time to make this video me an my 3 kids totally love watching your videos and look forward to seeing your next video all the time please keep these videos coming and I know it's going to sound totally random but if possible could you give a shout out to my 3 kids Callum,courtney and cody they would really be shocked and excited if you could do this as there such massive fans of your channel
What a very beautiful story 😭💞🦁
Is there a full documentary on this to watch ? Could you please link me. Thanks 🙏🏼
So Different than Mopogos but even more successful in their own right...
They are far more successful than The Mapogos. More than 15 adult sons and countless daughters.
MR T destroyed the Mopogos. He kept killing cubs and split the brothers up. I don't understand how the other brothers didn't stop him killing the pride cubs.
