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.

Not so common, in fact, i cant remember or know any example of it.
Males usually form coalitions with their sons when they are nomads, not when they are still territorial males.
I believe its not very common, but its still a quite frequently seen behavior. Current examples is Afsaal males,I believe S. Shishangeni was already dominant over a pride, and then he formed a coalition with EBM. Another example is territorial Kumana male forming a coalition with young Maputo male. An older and well known example is The last West Street male not kicking out Makuhlu from the pride, as if he is trying to get him to help defend the territory.
