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.

Indeed. They seem to be remarkably passive for fully grown adult males. We've seen single males with more agression even when outnumbered, especially against inexperienced males. Could be because they haven't actually sired any cubs, who knows what goes on in their heads??
For their part, the Kambulas also seem to be rather passive and fidgety, if I may use that term. Bit of a phoney war, really. The longer it goes on, the more it favours the Kambulas I'd imagine as they're only likely to gain confidence as they mature.
Yh it’s a very weird situation. The only good thing going for the BDMs is that they seem to have the prides backing so even if they can’t deal with the Kambulas, I guess they could create a breakaway. U could say that’s what we’re starting to see with 2 Nkuhuma females searching out Kambula males but obviously long term I’d expect them to control the main pride and BDMs are the ones forced to create the breakaway. Well another Nkuhuma breakaway, that is.
