There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I think once a male has lost his territory, his job is effectively done. He isn't a coward or anything like that, cowardness isn't a thing in the wild and you aren't gonna survive trying to be a hero. It's up to the pride now to have a strategy to save any subadults if they can. At the end of the day, cubs are expendable in the lion world. Bottom line, I think a male's presence with a nomadic pride is probably a net loss. He's gonna eat the most, potentially make noise at the dinner table which will definitely attract attention, and be the first to run cuz he has nothing to defend. A nomadic pride has to be discreet and they aren't gonna be that with a big male without a territory on their tale. A male will deter hyenas but does a nomadic pride with one lioness and 5 subadults even wanna be engaged in such a battle? they should just leave the kill to the hyenas to protect themselves, let alone have a male loudly and aggressively defend the kill.
