    Red Road's self-confidence is off the charts! For a solo male lion, he is either very foolish or
    extremely aggressive and sure of himself. Not to mention a very beautiful animal. Thank you
    Tinswalo for sharing his story with us. 👌

      All male lions are instinctively driven to behave like this!!..male lions in their prime are cocky

    • @mbr936
      @mbr936 3 года назад +3

      @@Ntwadumela89 I agree, this is in their genes, it is not arrogance or wrecklessness, it is just in their nature. Some may be slightly more careful, or may be supported by a coalition that gives them the numbers, some may be more daring even alone, but in general all males seem driven by this instinct when they enter their prime. Also, there may be a survival side to this behavior too, as the more static they stay in their territory, the more they may allow other prides/coalitions to grow and eventually come conquer them. In this sense, the behavior is quite similar to kingdoms of the old age.

    It’s always surprising to witness the personality of a male lion.
    Just how they live.
    They don’t anticipate that fight to the death.
    It’s in the moment living. Everyday to the fullest.
    They just keep moving forward.
    Expansion expansion expansion.
    Its a war and it’s sad in knowing they could battle.
    But such is lion life.

    **Just throwing out an idea?**
    It would be awesome to have a lineage chart made up showing, the last 3 years of pride members.
    Their heritage.
    age.
    pride.
    territory.
    status (alive or deceased).
    Knowing who is who and BY who.
    breaking down the ancestral generations of each pride by member going back to when the videos started maybe?
    Something simple.
    I know you guys only know so much.
    But knowing their history but how they’ve blended over time, and to follow to where they are now, would be so amazing!

    He is a beauty...but Othawa Male had that same swagger too and we all know where it got him. Maybe Red Road is it just looking for some action like the Mbiri male got from the Mbiri females to keep him away from their cubs... has he been roaring or scent-marking intros area or is he laying low for the moment? I just commented somewhere in the last month the reason Nharu's have done so well is because he has stuck to that Pride alone...Apparently he wasn't listening to me...Another thought - we never found out what happened to the fourth Tintswalo male - it could have been anyone...

    You have been so excellent in following the history and lineage of the lions in your area. I already mentioned to Londolozi about their leopard info being put in a loose leaf binder for us virtual safari goers, with us longing to visit South African reserves and enthralled with the leopards and lions we’ve come to know while visiting virtually, Maybe a ringed binder where pages can subsequently be added and collected could be sold for a price. With short journaling spots for the living leopards we are currently watching. Then we might even have a record of sweet babies that didn’t make it and are still noteworthy… what do I know. Basically saying, I’d buy one and more as gifts! I’d pay to have on going pages added to my Big Cat Safari Binder (whatever name,😉) Maybe presale it… raise those funds! I’d love receiving annual installment/update pages!!
    Virtual is great but there comes a time when us virtual safari folks need something tangible to pass around while drinking coffee ☕️ with friends!! Please consider compiling your vast knowledge into a watcher friendly treasure book!!😉💕

He’s defiantly checking out what his adversary is like ? He crashed , Alistair ( hope I spell’d it correctly ) Probably Al to the staff at the Lodge , The fourth Tswallow male , Was there ever any news of his demise to maybe he was getting way outa Dodge ?

That’s the road by the Lodge he got his name from , Horseshoe’s or Darts and ping ping ? Or pool ? Lodge I suspect has a recreation room , I built a nice large fire pit as going up close to us the rugged mountains and a fire is a priority as horseradish on a slab of beef or Buff ? Something about Hippos ruins my appetite, Like a oily weird meat , Rattlesnake is like chicken but most overcook it as I the first time, Unique choices in that department there I reckon , RedRoad and Casper getting their fan male, Alistair up in years barely talking with a Ale in hand Ih RedRoad is turning 28 today ! If all was perfect in a place life is always evolving and balanced with a well studied unprecedented diet that assures RR’S longevity to that lofty prediction , But in a perfect world , Your ahhhhhhahhh 😤😵‍💫😾!

    Just hope that the reserve lets nature do its course. If the RRM and the tintswalo boys were to go at then let lion nature plays its course, dont interfere. Everybody says reserves never interfere with nature but people with half a brain knows that's full of doodoo. Good luck to RRM, hopefully he succeeds to what he is seeking. The 2 + 1 tintswalo boys needs to leave their natal pride anyways
