Agression towads vehicles come from not being familiar with vehicles and doesn't mean that lion which is aggressive towards vehicles will be aggressive towards other lions as well. In general Avocas even allowed Mhangeni, Nkuchuma and Talamati males to hang out with Nkuchuma pride for quite some time. I do not think any of the Northern Avocas is particularly aggressive towards other lions.

(02-06-2021, 04:09 PM)Potato Wrote: Mohawk as well tolerated sub adult males for some time. He started being aggressive towards Nkuchuma male long time after takeover.

(02-06-2021, 04:09 PM)Potato Wrote: Dominating lionesses on the kill is what just about any male do. It doesn't mean male is particularly aggressive. It is not like other Avocas or just about any other dominant male does not tend to dominate the kill.

(02-06-2021, 04:09 PM)Potato Wrote: I do not think Mohawk and Tyson are same kind. Tyson is true warrior, not worry to go all in when confronting other male lion. We could see that against Scarface or against young Birmingham male while we never saw Mohawk do so. He never was seen going head on against his brothers for mating rights or against any other male. Both here as well as aginst Nkuchuma male he was just passively asserting dominance without blood real blood spiled. Also Tyson even through is smaller then his brother, is in fact more dominant one. Mohawk on the other hand in 2018 seemed to be the last of the 3 Avocas in regard amount of mating rights.

(02-06-2021, 04:25 PM)Tr1x24 Wrote: Yes, because when takeover happened NK male was not even a 2 yrs old, he started to attacking them when there was time for them to leave, 1 year later.

I did not meant that having lower amount of mating right means being less agressive, but not even trying to fight over mating rights meaing being not aggressive.

They are all in the same age and in similar condition similarly as it was in 2018 and therefore I believe DM will be as dominant as he used to be if he will be indeed accepted back by his brothers.

You confuse 2 different kind of agresssions, being aggressive towards other lions and towards vehicles are two different thinks. Agression towads vehicles come from not being familiar with vehicles and doesn't mean that lion which is aggressive towards vehicles will be aggressive towards other lions as well.

(02-06-2021, 09:25 PM)Gijima Wrote: The Avocas as a whole never felt the need to compete or fight with each other. The Southern Avocas have been very aggressive to outsiders, but they have no internal conflict whatsoever. In fact everyone talks about how well they get along even when females are around. That’s the same with N Avocas.... Dark Mane was bigger but didn’t use his size to bully his two brothers. Mohawk, when he was healthier, didn’t take advantage or beatup Blondie. 

That doesn’t mean though that they are passive. There has not been one instance recorded with the Nkuhuma Male just hanging out with the pride while Mohawk was around.... the subs always left and spent most of 2018-2019 avoiding the Avocas with Nana. Very different from BYM who has been with the Ross Males since he was what... 2.5 years old? That doesn’t mean the Ross Males aren’t dominant... it just means there’s no standard way all males behave. Each situation is different. 

I also think if Dark Mane rejoins, he will be an equal. Yes Mohawk is more volatile, but like I said he didn’t use that to overthrow or dominate Blondie. Instead, he mates just as much and can peacefully feed side by side with his brother as rarely seen in other coalitions..
