In the eyes of a pride, the male is just some male. Usefull for safety, but they wont take unnecessary risks to any cubs just to stay close to them.

Like it or not, there just isnt enough space in a coalitions core territory to house 3 large prides each besieged by rival males. They either have to abandon some or split up.

This is not always the case. In big coalitions who have a large territory, numbers are key to success. The more males there are in a coalition, the bigger the territory they can defend. Members of such a big coalitions also need a strong bond so they wont split up. In the case of the N’was males, they have to patrol half of the Sabi Sands reserve which is a lot for 4 males, but ok for 5 males. For example, When the Majingilanes took over the Selati controled area, they had too big of a territory to patrol, so they abandoned Eastern Sector which was then occupied by S. Matimbas and Matshapiri. Reply
