1:41
a sunken world cut off from the outside

[Music]
7:34
for now chipatsuwa and her sister mark time [Music]

44:16
somewhere the intruder lurks
44:23
while a sister guards the cubs the pride braces for a fight
44:36
the babysitter turns the tide
44:57
females are the weaker sex but in numbers lies the strength of a pride
45:04
yet this battle isn't over
45:13
the rival male merely withdrew he hasn't surrendered [Music]
45:19
round two looms but this time a new opponent
45:25

new life katsuri and chimondo are old enough to
48:18
run with the pride join the hunt and tutor their cousins
48:25
most dynasties are brief but safe behind the river when fumu reigns unchallenged
I refer to this webaddress: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv7LdIRtoMTNJZ98XG8Za4w/about After 106 episodes, did the producers quit? Otherwise, show me where they are continuing to show more videos? What happened to the Hollywood pride after the successful takeover by the Nomad coalition of lions? Is the MK pride still going strong? Are Mohawk and Axel still leading the MK pride? The YouTube channel you referenced appears to be related to wildlife documentaries, likely focusing on lion prides such as the Nomad Coalition and the MK Pride. However, since I cannot browse the internet or access YouTube directly, I can only provide general information based on known wildlife developments up to mid-2023. Did the Producers Quit After 106 Episodes? Without direct access to the channel, I can't confirm if they stopped producing content. However, if no new episodes have been uploaded, it's possible that the series concluded or is on hiatus. You might check: Their YouTube community...
18 Feb 2025 #wildlifeexploration #predators #lovenature As the season heats up, tensions reach a boiling point in the valley. The Punks, nearing the end of their reign, patrol their territory as the Nomads finally make their bold move south. At dawn, Nathan follows the invading males as they rampage into the heart of the MK pride’s land, scattering the group and coming perilously close to the five hidden cubs. The Punks flee, leaving their young offspring in grave danger, and Nathan, witnessing his first pride takeover, feels torn—admiring the Nomads' strength yet fearing for the cubs' fate. Meanwhile, the Hollywood pride begins to recover as Ava, their main hunter, regains her strength and daringly steals a kill from a fierce leopard. Sam encounters Chipadzua, a bold female leopard whose scavenging leads to a tense clash with the Hollywoods. As the predators vie for survival, Nathan anxiously discovers whether the MK cubs have survived the Nomads' onslaught. Transcrip...
