  • Stunning visuals and sound ..excellent footage

    But I didn't find the zoologists arguments very convincing and am skeptical about many of the claims they made as they strike me as being overly contrarian.

    Interesting theories but I don't consider them fact

  • 20:20 -ish lol, the lion is pissing himself running.

  • 5:40 ish, I recognized that stuffed lion; it was from an experiment in which they tried to find out whether lionesses preferred dark or light manes.

  • Truth is beautiful

  • DAMN FLIES!i hate chou!

  • I am a Lion!

  • Will we ever get to see part 2 of The Truth about Lions? Thanks for the upload. I just love watching lions - all the wild cats!

  • the truth about lions is they are far more beautiful and facsinating than humen!

  • shut the fuck up and let us watch the lions, jeez

  • Of course, 30 yrs of research is a tenure, which makes the researchers' lives steady, that is why they took that long to find this simple answer.

    They went to merticulous details, great, but it really doesn't take that long to find this out. These people are not really dumb, but too smart instead. Only those sponsors are fools.

  • @BillD2012 It's the meticulous details that give truth its uniqueness. Most people would probably agree with you to say their sponsors are fools, but others might say those critics are only interested in the truth that agrees with your preconceptions. Its silly to say their research is a waste because it's "too detailed".

  • It doesn't take 30yrs to find out why lions are social. It is fear and hunger that glue them together. They face many pack animals like hyenas and wild dogs. A solo lion would find it hard on open plains in Africa. For males once driven out of a pride it is also fear that drive them to form coalitions. Tigers during certain time of their lives are social too. Besides with moms, if there are more than 1 in a litter after leaving mom they stick to each other. Reluctance of sharing separate them.

  • i cannot know the truth about lions without part 2!!!

  • The drawings represent CaveLions! They Lived between 10,000 & 40,000 years ago! They were 25% larger than their African Cousins of today! This was due to the size of the prey animals of that time e.g The Great Mammoth! Of course there were far fewer humans too! Although both Lions & humans fought for the same houses then...........Caves! We,ve known this magnificent & magestic animal for a very Long time! So if they become extinct what do you think will happen to us?..........

  • I miss Clawed so much. He died a few days ago and it sucks as he was the best lion ever!

  • incredible video, sad about that cub though :( one of the animals i would not hunt is a lion, they are way to intelligent and family orientated

  • where is the second episode. ppl upload

  • all the flys are grossing me out and giving me goosebumps

  • monkeys at the run way silly monkeys

  • great documentary...great answer to the big question..

  • It was funny at the beginning the narrator goes devoting parents right when you see the lioness bites the living crap out the cub XD

  • @gs8777 nice job ..ALLAH is a Great

  • THEY WOULD EAT THIS GUY ALIVE

  • Wow this zoologist has the most amazing job in this world. I would trade my job with his anytime of the day. Imagine roaming the savannah grasslands among the wildlife versus sitting in a downtown office crunching some numbers for a Buffon who can't even spell their own name without technology.

  • This was a cool video

  • part 2??

  • pause at 17:20

    There is a hyena on the background

  • stupid european hunters ,why do they have to kill the lions they dont even run away when pple get near them

  • the Maasia are still killing them, they killed poor Clawed the other day.

  • @12from121

    How do you know? Is there a new post?

    The Maasia need to stop for a while. As said, the Lion population is decreasing rapidly.

  • @Malese2 How do I know please... Clawed was probably the 2nd most famous lion on the planet behind Notch. Go check it out

  • @Malese2

    Google Jonathan scotts blog,

  • From a book in regards to tigers, about their past. Apparently they used to live in family groups and the ones who were more individual in nature survived poaching..thus natural selection dictates those survuve and pass individualness as a method of survival as about to group. Very bad english on my part but i'm tired...and fed up of reading creation evolution debates.If i remember the name of the book i'll post a comment

  • I am a person of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia .. I hope that the approaching lions. Thank you to all who read the news. I hope to go to Saudi Arabia

  • 34:51, sisterhood is powerfull

  • @ramtinking

    MALE lion=BOSS!!...Oh Yeah..BOSS!!

  • Good to see John again.

  • Great show. Thanks.

  • the scene at 34:53 is the same scene as 5:25 of Naabi Hyena princess part 1/4.

  • @ 34:53 is one of the most amazing shots I've ever seen in a wildlife doc. Wow!

  • lol these @ these 2 dumb muslims posting on here... my gf is muslim so plz dont come at be sayin i hate them, but i think these "psuedo zoologists" have found more evidence to support their theory without than u could possibly phatom u credulous myopic kids.. plz tell me why exactly are u bring up religion to explain behavior in an animal documentary? kind of silly

  • These pseudo zoologists sound desperate. Looking for scientific explations to what is obvious to everybody.Lions cooperate because its instinctive.

  • @MrSychophant Yes it is an instinct. They are more concerned as to WHY this instinct developed when other big cats do not show the same instinct. They are well aware it is instinct however.

  • Jonathan, please make and commentate new documentaries, i love em!

  • Thanks for uploading! I can't get enough of these Big cat documentaries.

  • what's really said is he says this is Evolution? Allah created Everything for a guy who did 30 years of research your very stupid to come up with the conclusion that it's Evolution. Rather the real Answer is that Allah created them & Glory be to Allah The creator of Everything. following the Devil will lead you to hell.

  • @Aws8819 true indeed , they know where the answers lay but they ignore as Allah said in Quran ,only those Allah guided can know while their hearts are covered no matter how educated they be ,they always be stupids n ignorant lol

  • @jakiesham Come back again and say that when you learn how to spell and punctuate. How do you expect for anyone to take you seriously when you cannot even follow a simple and fundamental necessity for effective communication?

  • @Aws8819 Go take your baseless pseudo-logic somewhere that does not involve intelligence, it might be better accepted. Stay in your ignorance and make it obvious how limited your critical thinking skills are. News flash "Hell" is non-existent as described in your little book. :/ Call this man stupid when you cannot even spell or punctuate properly. These kind of people deserve to be be expelled from society with no second chances for their inability to notice how stupid they appear to be.

  • @gs8777 Is that the only thing you got? Go learn how to Spell?? if what i said was not communication then how the hell did you understand? ohh i get it you think that this guy can uncover the secret of why lions live in Prides Just by following them around. but you can't understand the words i'm typing.. yeah some Intelligence you got. But you know what it is. it's showing your true face which is Ignorance. & when you die you will have one Hell of a Surprise.

  • @Aws8819 You are communicating but not effectively. You have proven my point already, you cant even read properly. You have no idea what I am communicating, you also cannot deduce that I pointed out THREE issues I had with you. I will make it a little simple for you: 1.You have no critical thinking skills(your point of view and inability to analyze what they are doing in this video) 2. Ineffective communication(your spelling for one) 3.Lack of dignity which makes you seem like a complete idiot.

  • @gs8777 No not really i got what you said the first time. You see you try to portray your self as a Intelligent Individual by insulting others. But you see it takes Intelligence to Discover Intelligence. you & this man in the video failed to see the complexity of the creation in such a way that it is Impossible for it to occur without an intelligent creator. So by failing to see this easy & obvious fact. I can only come to realize that the real idiot is You.

  • @Aws8819 Considering that you are still spewing that pseudo babble I do not believe you get it but its okay.Interesting. It seems that having common sense and ability to put together coherent sentences is considered an attempt to "portray myself as an intelligent person". I thought it was simply proper communication. Intelligence has no need to be "discovered" it can simply be noted by anyone with some level of common sense. Jon Scott is intelligent because he acquired and applied his knowledge.

  • @Aws8819 It is pretty simple: When you say that we failed to see this "easy and obvious fact" yet provide no proof of it "you portray yourself" as a person of faith(belief without concrete proof). When you use only your faithful belief to insult and deny the work of an individual who is providing proof(30+ years of work) "you portray yourself" as a downright ignorant idiot. Funny you accuse me of "trying" to seem intelligent yet waltz in and shut his finding down like you have more knowledge..

  • @gs8777 30+ years How about the 1000's of years of Proof. I guess everything just made it's self? is that what you want me to believe? If i came to you and told you that the Cars you see every day Evolved from Little peaces of metal you would laugh & think how stupid is this Guy?/is he Mentally ill? Well that's what i think of Everyone like you. What you seam to think is Knowledge is pure stupidity. if this is the kind of Conclusions you come up with in the end. Allah Created Everything. IDWTC

  • @Aws8819 At the end of the day you may believe what you want to believe. I will respect that. It is your choice. No one is telling you to believe anything. You are the one saying its stupid. yet no one asked you. I have no problem with your belief. It is just not my own. You wont see me going to you and telling you your belief is stupid with no proof whatsoever like you did here. I would never tell you anything like that about cars..humans build cars. Plain and simple. we SEE that every day. :)

  • @gs8777 Ohh so you see cars Every day but you don't See Life?????? are you Serious? So your saying Life is not Proof? so if something Existences right in front of your Eyes Like A car you Acknowledged it But when it comes to life your just blind is that it? So what your saying is You Want to See Allah Create Life Right In Front of your Eyes? Well i will tell you what When you & your "Intelligent" Part of the world Make a Fly then i will believe. Allah says in the Quran You will never Do it.

  • @Aws8819 There is a difference between looking at a car/life and knowing how they came to be. I just realize this went into the realm of creationism vs evolution. Like I said you can believe whatever you want. However the creator of the video made a much more compelling case then you could possibly refute. P.S. it does not matter if we can or cannot. We are not claiming we can. You just assume so. If you wish to believe it instead of challenging the notion go ahead. No one will stop you.

  • @gs8777 You know you could of just taken your own Advice From the Very Beginning instead of having this whole Conversation. Ohh wait i get it that's what you say when you lose Isn't it? well go ahead & see if you can take your Own Advice. Latter.

  • @Aws8819 That's great...you want a cookie for thinking you "won" something? I made my point. You have yet to say anything that proves otherwise. I do not need to take my own advice. You just need to learn some common sense. I have not changed my point of view. Anyone who comes in claiming something without any concrete proof and then turns around and tells another who can actually back up their claim that they are wrong is IGNORANT, STUPID and needs to remove themselves from the equation.Goodbye

  • @Aws8819 ".....you & this man in the video failed to see the complexity of the creation in such a way that it is Impossible for it to occur without an intelligent creator...."

    How in HELL do YOU know that?

    Oh, wait, from your Fairy Tale Book, the Holy Book of the "Intelligent" CREATOR Himself! HE SAID SO, and you're MERELY pointing THAT out, that's right!

    Shouldn't you and BILLIONS of other homo sapiens like you grow up and grow out of your NEED for small children Fairty Tales?

  • @Aws8819 You seem so sure Allah created everything. Why is that?

  • Great stuff. Where's part 2? I want more

  • 34.53....or in other latest trendy words..... why this kolaveridi..........

  • 34.53..... he would have thought oh SHIT!!!!

  • Tigers are stronger than lion and tigers can beat any lion

  • @hmongty37 Tigers do tend to weigh a bit more on average and tend to be longer from head to tail, but lions on average are taller at the shoulder and tend to have a more powerful face-to-face fighting style: Tigers' paw swipes are quick as hell but Lions tend to strike with all of their weight, attempting to get their opponent on the ground, for obvious reasons. Tiger vs. Lion is very much a fair fight.

  • why all the lion v tiger childishness ?

  • So why don't tigers and leopards form prides as well?

  • Where is part 2???

  • I really love these bbc documentarys :)

  • Poor Clawed. They surely were long time pride males with Romeo. New blood must come in.

  • Beautiful Animals that are part of our world that make our world beautiful with a difference of all life that makes the world so diverse...To bad not everyone wants to accept diversity of what makes the world live...

  • I like to watch the cubs get eaten by rival males

  • @2enchant you are one sick puppy, i want to kill you

  • 011011000110100101101111011011­100111001100100000011000010111­001001100101001000000111001101­101111001000000110001101110101­0111010001100101

  • plz add more episodes

  • or maybe they evolved social behavior, because their brain size allows them to understand unity? among other things...

  • Lion's became social so that they can kill a buffalo. Otherwise buffaloes would have killed lions. 18:45 - that lion is running for life.

  • A buffalo scares the lions. A single tiger would have killed a buffalo just like that.

  • WoW! These normal female lion prides are small compared to the HUMONGAS super lionessTsaro pride in Relentless Enemies ..on Duba island, the buffalo hunters! After just watching the Tsaro pride hovering over their king lions for over an hr, these here look like midgets next to their lion king lol

  • Once the preaching starts - POOF! - I'm gone.

  • Romeo and Clawed have been dethroned!!!!!!!!!!

  • @12from121

    Didnt Notch come back and took over the pride with his 4 sons? I believe Notch is now running 2 prides, what a player lol.

  • @Junde801 no I don't think it was Notch's boys, it would be bad as half the lionesses are Notch's kids. Notch and his sons run a couple of prides though. You all love Notch but Clawed was my fav. sad to see him go but 4 years is one hell of a stint at the top.

  • Lion - Solar, splendor, power, majesty, strength, courage, nobility.

  • @TheLarsMethod hell yeah

  • 34:54 damn i shit my pants

  • fantastic...got to be shared at roar for the asiatic lion on facebook - a page about lions....might be interesting to join it....

  • Romeo the bomb!

  • Where is part 2?

  • The buffalo built like tanks solid muscle, a diet of GRASS. lol and yes africanlionbeast21 you know your history. well said sir.

  • I am from Thailand This video is great.

  • @MMitan - actually you are wrong. Tigers are actually bigger, stronger and more aggressive and also cunning.Aslo they are much more agile. It has more to do with the environment and the lifestyle. Tigers are solitary animal and hence they needed to more stronger and larger than lion as they have to live on jungles where preys are also larger. A lion on its own cannot hunt a wild buffalo , but tiger hunts wild gaur which is 50 % bigger and stronger than buffalo.

  • @MMitan u havent seen tigers..try that then post

  • This video is great..I'v learned a lot. It makes me appreciate lions more.

  • Comment removed

  • @MMitan HUH ?

  • @MMitan SUPER ULTRA BIG FAIL ON YOUR BEHALF...

    Tiger-------STUPID FOOL

  • why i like lions more than tigers and other wild cats? becuz they are social animals like human :) in reality, if tigers and lions meet like in asia, lions will win since tigers are solitary animals and the pride of the lion will challenge about everything including crocodiles

  • @jigme911 - I am from india. There was a time when lions were all over India. But as tiger population expand , they actively killed almost all of the lions except a few in only one state.People who say lion are stronger or powerful than tiger , probably never have seen a real tiger. Tiger in any day , is superior to lion. More powerful , more strongly build , fast runner , more agile and overall more lethal predator.

  • @mlover15220 ur a fucking retard it's man that killed the lions in india and europe. when the british colonized india hunting lions was their favorite sport. how the hell is a single tiger going to kill a pride of lions

  • @africanlionbeast21

    yh thts the diff between lion n tigers. lion hunts in a pride buh tiger is solitory. otherwise they are pretty similar

  • @africanlionbeast21 hahahahaha

  • lions are so pretty but can rip you apart in a few minutes with their paws and jaws.

  • @africanlionbeast21

    5 Tigers against 5 Lions, and the Lions would still win. They know how to work together better then Tigers can.

  • @africanlionbeast21 - fucking bunghole...india is not open land like africa and ambush attack is much much easier in a jungle..tiger is much more adapted in that..so, get your head out of your sore ass and google it if you dont believe it..

  • @mlover15220 lol your stupid go check about tigers and lions u will find that Lions are 100% stronger than lions

  • @DarkerzPker fail :P

  • @mlover15220 Wait, I'm actually laughing my ass off, trying to type :)

    You actually think the tigers killed most of the lions??!?!? What about humans? did they stand and watch? oh wait, that's right. Humans hunted the lions, the tigers did nothing. There I go again, laughing my ass off, I would thank you if you weren't so stupid, you've made my night :)

  • @WeWillNotGoQuietly - ofcourse you will laugh your ass coz you are one..big fat ass..

  • @mlover15220 Nice educated reply to my argumentative comment. Sadly I'm not fat, your comment just failed. Stupid people like yourself need to put up and shut up when an intelligent argument starts.

  • why i like lions more than tigers and other wild cats? becuz they are social animals like human :) 

  • audio is not good ....

  • ZAWWWH. ROMEO. FEEDING THE CUBS. YOU ARE A GREAT FATHER.<3

  • Where is the part 2???

  • Stupid one-animal supporters!

  • Lions are cool. Team tigers though :]

  • nigga there not man eating you jackass

  • tigerz are superior in every aspect? that's a tasteless joke.. Lion is King4a reason. i've seen video's of lions dominating and even killing tiger's on youtube but i've yet 2see one of a tiger overpowering a Lion. oh .. LIONS ARE NOT MY FAVOURITE EITHER.. my fave is CARACAL.. hahaha phony

  • Lions are cool, but honestly Tigers are superior in every aspect... Tigers are known to hunt and kill Gaurs alone, they are the biggest wild cattle, even bigger than African buffalo, but Tigers are not my favorite cat !, my favorite cat is the CARACAL... Please check out the Caracal - if you love cats?

  • @Dimsum99 bad joke

  • Only a Hyena can dislikes such a worderful and beautiful documentry ....

  • wow..men r jerks even as lions

  • This whole movie makes me want to listen to baba yetu. I love it.

  • Thank you so much NishRX11 for uploading this! Since I live in Canada I can't find these episodes on TV, or really any other place besides youtube. I really hope that you will post the next episode if you get the chance. I love Jonathan Scott and learning about the Marsh pride, and I would really appreciate it if you upload the next episode.

    Thanks again :)

  • Uh, Jonathan, we all know it's leopards that you masturbate to every single night LOL. What'choo talking 'bout "captivated by lions all my life?!"

    Seriously, watch any Big Cat past eps/seasons & it's the leopards he's lusting over!

  • hi NishRX11 will you be uploading the whole series of 'The Truth About Lions' ?

  • This is not a "rip off from big cat diary." This is a well done, 2-hour program attempting to explain --- using footage from different sources, including "Big Cat Diary," the Serengeti Lion Project, etc. --- the EVOLUTION of why lions are, among all big cats, the only species that forms prides, with males actively helping females to help raise their offspring. Big Cat Diary is just a series of aimless shows on lions hunting for food and fighting with other neighbors... Big difference...

  • all stock footage!!! complete rip off from big cat diary!!

  • haha "sisterhood is powerful" that was epic how those 3 pissed off moms came over that hill crest

  • I'm 14 minutes into this program and my guess is that the primary driving force for forming prides is due to the hyena because they are very social and its no secret that them and lions are arch enemies... that'll probably be ruled out later in the program but that's my guess

  • In Scott's own humble but sound approach, he laid out the reason why, in general, in very complex circumstances, you need a lot more evidence to make some sound observations about phenomena in nature... more than, say, looking out one's window, during a prolonged winter of snow & ice & declare "global warming is a hoax." From one's windows, in 1 or 2 winters, it's not easy to see that most giant glaciers in the world have lost 50-90% of their AVERAGE masses in the last 30 years alone....

  • As long as you people do your research from a distance am ok with it. Many so called researchers contain these animals to conditions not fit for any living thing on earth, carry out rediculous test all in the name of some discovery. I believe these animals belong free just as we are. And we should not support circusses, or such things that keep animals captive for amusement.

  • It's all about real estate. I was half right. I thought it had to do with the large numbers of migrating animals but basically its who can hold the best chunk of land.

  • tnx so much for uploading!

  • But time & time again, like "Romeo" here did ( & he's either had his fill or not eating at all, because the kill seemed to be a small pig, caught by the mothers, & likely snatched away from them by Romeo, no doubt), actively chasing the mothers away --- when they cleverly roll ever closer to the two feeding cubs --- only to return to sit vigilantly by the cubs, making sure they could have their fill.... that's truly extraordinary, for such a brutish and impulsive pride male.

  • I've seen many clips of pride males passively allowing small cubs to feed with them, even allowing the very small ones to nibble right where their powerful teeth have just torn open hard muscles, allowing the babies to pick on the soft meat. But, that's usually when there's a lot of food, like a huge carcass in their midst, and in which case mothers too are very tolerant, allowing the babies to climb all over everyone, to get their tiny shares...
