BBC, so towards the last quarter of the lion episode, it is obviously Red and Charm are together. Meaning Aunt and Nephew. And I understand that may be an uncomfortable fact or notion for the average audience member, who doesn't understand lion behavior. But I guess I understand the thought of wanting to edit Red as a solo lion looking for a pride. But I also feel like it is a sign of laziness. To put it bluntly. I realize laziness wouldn't have bee able to put these types of series together. But, if you are going to invest time and money into a project like this, why not get it right? Why not tell the whole story? Why be afraid to spend 4 years filming instead of 2? Or 6 years. I think getting it right is absolutely worth it. Just think if somebody had followed the mapogos, or any male lion coalition from birth until death. Think of the reception for such an achievement?
It is only through education where as a world we will be able to come together and save these an other species. Species that are looking very bleak as we enter the halfway point of this century. And I believe if you have made a habit of editing these smaller scenes, that habit will continue to trickle, and it will grab hold of larger scenes, and maybe entire documentaries. I know part of your job is having to sell a story. But I believe the truth is more important. If the world isn't comfortable with the truth, I believe that isn't your problem to fix. Again, I understand it was a smaller part of the story. But my point is that the behavior leads to the editing of larger portions of future documentaries etc. And I think it is a fine line you need to be careful with.
Heck, why not spin the story in a factual way? You could have created or focused on the back drop for their encounter/mating explaining, Gene pools are increasingly under threat due to habitat loss and laxed poaching/hunting (same thing) laws. And although this behavior amongst lions has been going on for thousands of years, the increasing amount of this activity does pose a danger. And then move on. You need to have more trust in your viewers. That they can accept and handle the truth. If people aren't lion or big cat conservationist, or conservationist in general, they need to be given facts. If there is a constant gray area being crossed into, it will leave your viewers with a bad taste. As I myself became more and more interested in big cats, and as I watched more and more documentaries on the subject, I began to see scenes used in two or three different documentaries. All used just to smooth out story lines. And it was turn off. Anyhow, the truth is always going to be the best way to tell a story. Authenticity is important to people. And I think you need to start understanding this a little better.

That's not a young male lion he looks like a massive 450 lb male lion 4 to 5 years old certainly no younger than 4. Male lions are kicked out of the pride by the time they are two or two and a half years old. Again this is not a young male lion exploring the boundaries of the prides territory. This looks like a pride male or a lone male who got caught by 20 hyenas.

The reality is that the Hyenas(Gidad) can come closer to Lion, The Hyenas(Gidad) can even scratch or bite Lion, But Hyenas(Gidad) can never hunt down the Lion and that is the difference so better stay up to your Level(Aukat, By the way who is called as the King Of The Jungle
PROVERB: HYENAS(Gidad) HUNT IN PACKS, BUT LION HUNTS ALONE

Gotta say man. I have watched my fair share of wildlife documentaries. I've seen lions swim through croc infested waters for survival but I was yet to see the mortal fear that I saw on this lion's face. Never seen such fear in the eye of a lion

0: 37 Man, the BBC Natural History Unit sure loves that lion sound effect. They used it at least 3 times in this clip alone, and have featured it in at least 3 other documentary series.

if someone paid you 1million dollars to slap a wild lion on the butt and run would you do it. You are allowed 2 things a backpack full of bloody meat and a knights aluminum suit.

I don't think ppl realize how terrifying it is to be surrounded by predators that sound like they're laughing at you at the fact that you're about to become their next meal
