If he manage to go south and somehow join up/be accepted by NK/Talamati, it might be what they need to finally become territorial.

It's clear that as solo males or duos it's impossible, but as a 3 prime males coalition, suddenly they have a chance.

I have a question? Why is he called Skorro male lion again? He is son of male lion use to call buddy. I wonder where he has been.

Technically he is the skorro breakaway male he was born in the skorro pride but he and a few others broke away creating the skorro breakaway pride

Unless they come together to roar and patrol as 4 constantly, it's extremely unlikely this current "takeover" will work out.

K5 and K6 were just wandering somewhere and K5 got injured again. Hard to see him becoming fully territorial atm after taking beating after beating.

As things stand right now they may move randomly as smaller groups again or as the 4 of them, or get chased off by one of the duos visiting the North.

I hope they come together as a strong unit soon, I'm of the believe that currently, a big coalition may be what some areas in SS needs to get real stability, more males may abandon prides easier, but unlike duos, can also spend more time with everybody.

I think 3/4 of them are ready, K5 seems to be the outlier. The fact that he keeps getting beat up probably hasn't helped. Hopefully he's learned a lesson from this last time. But as you said, they need to start roaring together, patrolling, scent-marking, etc.

Yes some stability is very much needed. I think this must be why the WildEarth guides want the Kambulas to settle here. They know that they're not the best option for the Nkuhumas, genetically speaking, but there's no point in high genetic diversity if the cubs don't make it due to lack of stability.
