That proud look of Golden Mane, he knows he is the king. I said it before and will again, i dont like these false narratives that GM and HS where less dominant and less value lions in a coalition (well HS was after his 2014 hip injury), this comes from Londolozis blog and documentary which is just false. 

We can see in few videos that GM was first to challenge DM for mating rights, and even beat him, while SN was just watching aside. GM was more dominant then SN, because of that SN went east with Kambulas, while GM and DM stayed west in their core territory with Mhangenis and Othawas.

You know the whole story of the Majingilane male lions (not I thus bravo !), but I don't believe that a male lion sitting down exactly in front of an other one makes that just to mark his domination. Lions aren't primitive animals but we aren't talking about a Shakespeare's theater performance... As we are speaking about kings (kings of animals, kings of writer's stories), the intrigues at cour aren't exactly at the same level among lions than among men... I'm joking !

More seriously, if this lion chooses to sit down in front of his brother in arms, it's clearly a sheer chance. He hadn't the conscious will to mark his domination. The lions don't premeditate their acts.

Also acording to MalaMala SN was second most dominant after DM (from monthly raport somwhere between 2010 and 2014). What it comes to value for the coalition then ofcourse numbers most important factor in lion warfare and every member counts.

Overally yes, althrough Majingilanes were coalition of males of same age and in the same top condition through the years of their rule (beside HS) so there is nothink really what could change hierarchy in coalition through years.
