Kumana Lion Pride
Who Will Control the Kumana Lion Pride
Mluwati or Fourways and Torchwood Coalition?
The two Fourways males and the Torchwood male currently control the Mazithi and Leeupan lion prides. But in the last few months, they have been pushing further north, being seen in between the S86 and Kumana dam in Central Kruger National Park on several occasions. It appeared they were expanding their territory. The Kumana lion pride was previously controlled by the two Mluwati male lions. The two males arrived in the Mluwati concession area with a bang after they attacked and killed another male in the southern part of the Mluwati concession in September 2015. It's believed the dead male was one of the four Skukuza males. No one knows who they are or where they came from. A couple of days ago, we filmed one of the Fourways males in the company of the Kumana pride and with new cubs. It now makes sense why they were spending so much time further north. It will be interesting to see if the three males manage to keep control of all three prides now that they have an even larger territory to patrol. The blonder Mluwati male appears to have disappeared a while back, with no recent sightings of him in the last year. It seemed only a matter of time before the remaining Mluwati male would lose control of the Kumana pride. He has been frequently seen in the last couple months with several of his eight sons, who appear to have left the Kumana pride as well.
Spectacular Kumana Lion Pride
The Kumana Lion Pride is probably the most spectacular lion pride currently in Kruger National Park. Watch rare footage of the old, but handsome, Mluwati males that controlled the Kumana Pride until mid-2023 but lost control to the Fourways Males. In this video, also watch the beautiful eight sub-adult male lions together with five playful lionesses. Some History: The two males arrived in the Mluwati concession (Imbali, Hamilton's, and Hoyo Hoyo) with a bang after they attacked and killed another male in the southern part of the Mluwati concession in September 2015. It's believed the dead male was one of the four Skukuza males. No one knows who they are or where they came from. They are about 12 or 13 years old now and have lost control of part of the Kumana Lion Pride east of the Mluwati Concession Area in Kruger National Park to the Fourways Males.
Battle at Kumana Dam: Lions kill buffalo
Drama, Drama Watch the entire video! Less than 24 hours after killing and devouring a buffalo, the old Mluwati Male and his five sons are back at it. This time, it was just instinctual nature. Even though they weren't hungry, they were compelled to hunt when a small buffalo herd approached their domain at the Kumana Dam in South Africa's Kruger National Park.
Beautiful young male lion of the Kumana Lion Pride
Beautiful - one of the eight sub adult males of the Kumana Lion Pride, fathered by the two Mluwati male lions. Lately, the Kumana Pride was taken over by the Fourways/Torchwood Coalition, which produced cubs from the Kumana Pride. The blonde Mluwati male probably died, and the remaining Mluwati male and his eight sons are now together roaming the area around Kumana dam in Kruger National Park.
