Two things with this.

1- They are definitely intelligent. I'm not saying they're not. What I'm saying is that the way they think, they way they reason is based on the instincts imprinted in their DNA. They do not reason like we do, in an abstract way. That's the difference.

2- I don't think they're avoiding him. The thing is, they have to patrol anyway, and if they stayed at his side all day, everyday, then what would happen to the territory? What would happen to the prides and the young cubs they're looking after? Because let's not forget the primary reason they moved more east was to stay with the Mangheni pride.

So there's a lot of factors involved in this, and one more that's not mentioned anywhere else is that maybe it's Hip scar that's avoiding them. Maybe he knows he's weak and doesn't want to be a burden on them, so he stays alone. Reply
