Yes, that was the time when it happened. (08-05-2018, 11:07 AM)swtlei4u Wrote: who was the males did they get into a fight with? I'm not so sure, there were talks of some young nomads, but I'm not sure who they are. RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Tshokwane - 08-06-2018 Credits to Benjamin Kiseme - Naboisho Camp. It’s has happened! Like anticipated, the four Rekero Males, caught an intruding young male lion inside their territory! Lions are extremely territorial, and they don’t tolerate strangers within... Click on it to play. RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Tshokwane - 08-07-2018 Credits to Benjamin Kisemei - Naboisho Camp. Big fight this morning at Naboisho conservancy. The four dominant males have attacked a young male lion who belongs to offbeats coalition. Eventually, they let him go but with some injuries although not fatal ones. *This image is copyright of its original author *This image is copyright of its original author *This image is copyright of its original author

Offbeat males, they're a young coalition, what I recall is that they're six in total, although I'm not entirely sure.

I think that is actions seem all the more impressive because in the video, the big lion that bragged and roared in front of him seemed more concerned with keeping his hair looking good than in engaging him in a fight.

Which brings to light an interesting aspect of lion-fight interaction. Lions tend to gang up on their target, but that target has to fight multiple antagonists simultaneously. That's an important dynamic for a young, up and coming, eventual pride leader. Its part of the overall "schooling" necessary to acquire that status.

Which is probably why lions fight with their back ends down, fighting like Leopards or Tigers is more suitable for a 1 v 1 encounter but being tangled up vs multiple assailants would obviously be a huge disadvantage.

RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Herekitty - 08-10-2018 I often wonder how lions go about becoming friends. Maybe they first encounter each other and give a strong roar, "how's that eh, you like that, what have you got? Ok not bad, you have a nice roar too." Then they come in a little closer, "well you're a big bugger and that's a nice mane you've got, I'd probably prefer not to mess with you if I can." Then they approach a little closer with their mane up, but not too aggressive, maybe spray some scent around like a CV detailing their particulars, "I see you've been up north chasing the buffaloes, did you have much success?" Then they're almost face to face and they look each other full in the eyes; who blinks first; what caliber of lion am I really dealing with? "Yes I see you are indeed a big, battle scarred warrior, but wait... what's that? What's that look in your eyes? I know that look! You're..... you're lonely! RRROOOAAARRR!!! "Well join the club brother. How about we sit down for a day and then go and chase some kudu, maybe see if we can find the Wildfact Pride, I hear a few of those girls are coming into heat!" RE: Other male lion coalitions from Masai Mara - Cunaguaro - 08-10-2018 About post #1400 What a way to defend yourself against this young male! It is evident that his determination to defend himself prevented him from being hit harder. |
