Summary

TLDRThe video describes the harsh reality facing big cats in the savannahs of Kenya. As grasslands shrink due to deforestation, cheetahs and lions struggle to find prey. A pride of five cheetahs works together to hunt, but only catch one gazelle. Meanwhile a lion pride of 40, including 3 month old cubs, is starving after days without food. Some lionesses go hunting but return empty-handed. The cubs desperately suckle though the mothers have little milk. The pride makes an arduous journey seeking better hunting grounds. Along the way, young male lions unsuccessfully try to take down a massive giraffe. The desperate lions finally send out a huge hunting party, their last hope for survival.

Q & A

Why is it rare to see a group of adult cheetahs living together?
-It is rare because cheetahs are usually solitary animals after they separate from their mothers. However, this group may have formed due to lack of prey, needing to cooperate to hunt.
How did the cheetahs coordinate their hunt when the gazelles started running?
-When the gazelles started running, the other 4 cheetahs quickly came over and they hunted together as a coordinated pack, surrounding and taking down gazelles efficiently.
Why weren't the cheetahs able to catch a second gazelle?
-They weren't able to catch a second gazelle because the gazelles had already realized the danger. So when the cheetahs tried again, the gazelles could anticipate and outrun them.
Why is life even more difficult for the lion pride encountered?
-Life is more difficult because it is a very large pride of 40 lions, with many mouths to feed. And there is a shortage of prey, so they are struggling to find food.
How do the older lions train the younger males during the failed hunt?
-When a young male ruins the hunt, the females give him disapproving looks. He tries to save face but is outsmarted by the kori bustard. This teaches him patience and strategy for future hunts.
Why don't the males help feed or watch over the cubs?
-Usually male lions do not help care for cubs. But this pride is struggling so much that the males must also work to find food instead of just relaxing.
What desperate measure does the pride take to find food?
-They decide to mobilize and move their base to a new watering hole, hoping more prey animals will gather there, even though it is difficult for the young cubs.
Why don't lions normally attack kori bustards?
-Lions do not normally attack large aggressive birds like kori bustards. But desperate for food, the pride tries, only to be mocked and frustrated.
What grave future awaits the pride if hunting keeps failing?
-If the hunting continues to fail, there is no doubt their numbers will decline. Weak and starving lions may die, especially vulnerable cubs and elders.
Will the extensive hunting party succeed in bringing back prey?
-It remains uncertain if the 9 lionesses can secure prey on this extensive hunt with so many lives depending on them.

🐆 The Unusual Alliance of Cheetahs and the Struggle for Survival

In Kenya's conservation area, a unique sighting of five unrelated adult cheetahs living together was reported, a rarity possibly due to scarce prey availability. They were observed engaging in a hunt upon spotting a Thomson's gazelle, a rare opportunity for these predators. Despite their efforts and managing to catch a gazelle, the limited prey was insufficient for the group. Additionally, a large lion family of forty members was also facing harsh living conditions due to a lack of prey, with days passing without meat. The lionesses, in a show of solidarity, nursed not only their offspring but others within the pride, highlighting the communal support during tough times. The narrative underscores the challenges predators face in their environment, from hunting to nurturing their young amidst food scarcity.
