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.

Well... If at the point he is not able at the point to fight adult males 1 on 1 then he is probably not strong enough to become dominant male ever at all. He is aproaching 6 years old. If at that point he can not handle 12 years old Mapoza male, it is very unlikely he can count on getting any easier opportunity.

He never was that much of a beast and now he is 12 years old.

BDM was big, but he wasn't much of a fighter. Still he was chasing and intimidating Mapoza male on at least one ocassion.

1. As far as I remember onone has actually seen who killed Trilogy male and it is only speculation that it was Mapoza.
2. Trilogy at that point was walking dead. In such condition even females or hyenas could have killed him so it is not and acomplishment even if indeed Mapoza was the one who killed him and done that by himself.

They are not. They are just sitting in the south of the reserve. If they would want to take over mapoza's territory, they would just easly do so, they wouldn't "slowly pressuring" him.
