The tigress Machli has always been a special mother. Not only was she most ferocious and attentive to her offspring while in command of a large territory centered around the highly coveted lakes area of Ranthambhore during the 2000s poaching crisis, but she was just special.

Along with the guide Salim Ali, filmmaker Colin Stafford-Johnson had tracked Machli as she cared for one of her earlier litters and managed to document an inexplicable scene: Machli’s sons, now bigger than her, began suckling from her despite their mother not having had any milk for a year. This was the first time such a thing was ever captured on camera - and the last time this family unit was ever seen together. The boys soon dispersed from their mother and died separately from each other.

The three Ximhungwe females after losing their wildebeest kill to a pack of 10 spotted hyenas. All three girls have the same face and it is of their ancestor, the lioness Sassy of the Othawa Pride.

something inexplicable: the othawa pride (who just welcomed ~3 new cubs from the second sister) encountered the ximhungwe pride (1 lioness, 2 subadults) accompanied by the plains camp males. the othawa cubs were in full view yet were not attacked by the ximhungwe girls.

Olonkera, cleanliness is not his thing ... The night before the lionesses had killed a buffalo, but with the rain everything was muddy. It is therefore a buffalo made from mud that was shared between lionesses, cubs and males.
