It lies on the border of the various coalitions and prides.You are coming from conclusion that N'was will avoid Birmingham's territory and stay in just Londolozi which I believe is not even an option. For me there are 3 scenarios of what will N'was decide to do: 1. Give up on Londolozi and Mala Mala and return south. Everythink would be how it used to be so far. 2. N'was will try to remain in control over Sabi Sabi and will shift their territory to the north, only to the certain extend. They will take over southern Londolozi and central Mala Mala. Possibly even a bit more - central Londolozi and north-central Mala Mala. Birmingham males will be shifty driven out as well as young Kambula males. Kambula cubs will be killed. On the long run however I believe the change would be great for Kambula pride - it could resault in the pride reuniting over time and they wouldn't have competition for the food source in the form of Birmingham males and young Kambula males and would be ruled by much stronger and younger coalition - a perfect spot from which they can raise next generation. 3. N'was will shift heavly their territory further north. Beside what I have mentioned in point 2 they would push Avocas further north and out of Londolozi and Mala Mala. In such sace it would be intresting to see how will develop dynamic between Nkuchuma, Talamati and Imbali pride. Nkuchumas if they decide to move further away from N'was and return to Djuma they will bump into Talamati pride. Then Talamati pride may chosse to fight for that land or they can also shift back further north, but then they will bump into Imbali pride... (11-15-2021, 02:33 AM)Tr1x24 Wrote: By that logic, then Avoca pride should be more adequate choice, no pride males, closer to them and all females will be in estrus soon, some already are and if they are 4,or even 6, they can easily outmatch Torchwood and BYM..That reason is Xikukutsu/Mapoza coalition. I do not think they will choose to target that coalition at their first takeover attempt, particulary if they have easier option close by. It is not an impossible scenario by any means tho I see as more likely they will target Ross males.

As far as we know, they might not be contesting for territory for another half a year to a year, so this speculation about BDM's takeovers are way too early..Two of them were roaring all over Tintswalo and they put a beating to bigger and younger than a Ross males Birmingham male. They are already showing signs they are ready and with other Black Dam males joining them they will be yet much stronger (as a coalition) and more confident having more force to back them up. They can take their time if they want to, but I wouldn't be suprised at all if they sticke their claim for territory very soon.

Which could end with guest and members of WildFact losing interest in the forum. The aim of WildFact is provide good sources and information. Often, long debates may make lost a bit of that.The forum IS in big part about discusions. If someone wants updates only he can like some facebook page or group (where there are no discusions) or he can just scroll through those discusions on wildfact. I do not see any problem with either. NO one here is forced to read or to participate in those discusions. RE: Lions of Timbavati - T I N O - 11-15-2021 The four Black dam young males in the south of Thornybush on a buffalo kill.

Still you didn't give me 1 logic reason why would BDM's specifically target Ross males, instead Avoca pride, Hercules/Sumatra, or Skorro males, etc.. It looks like this is only your whish.. And as i said few times already, Mapoza was not seen with Xikukutsu's in months, so 4-6 BDM's can easily oust lone Mapoza, especially if Xikukutsus are in Sandringham and target Monwanas. I dont considered Xikukutsus and Mapoza as coalition of 3, they are more like N. Avocas, semi-coalition of 2+1..

Not true, they are semi-nomadic, if they are in Xikukutsus/Mapoza territory, that doesnt mean they are under their control. (11-15-2021, 08:27 PM)Potato Wrote: Ross males are esier target than MApoza/Xikukutsus and they are much closer target than Sumatra/Hercules and Skorro males. Now take a map and see where are Hercules/Sumatra and where Ross males compared to BDM's from Thornybush. Walkers River Camp (1 of core territories of Hercules/Sumatra) is literaly on Thornybush border, and Sumatra/Hercules where seen not long ago in northern Thornybush. Ross males are like 10 km south east of northern Thornybush. (11-15-2021, 08:27 PM)Potato Wrote: That is your view on that coalition. Mine is different.

Yes its my view, because i dont have any evidence that Xikukutsus and Mapoza operate "full time" as coalition of 3, when was the last time we saw Xikukutsus with Mapoza and Monwana pride? Xikukutsus where for months in Sandringham, 1-2 months ago 1 returned and was seen in Thornybush with BD female, after that we again didn't see them, and Mapoza is seen regulary, that means that Xikukutsus are most time in Sandringham..

Am I now aside of Birmingham males hater also Ross males hater? lol I wont call you hater, but you definitely have more favorable lions then others, Bboys and Ross males you definitely dont like as you never give them credit they deserve and constantly downplaying them as they are "weak" compared to other coalitions, which you like. And that noticed most people on this forum, not only me. (11-15-2021, 08:27 PM)Potato Wrote: They kinda look like Amahle N'was. When they reunite they will become unstopable force. Perhaps it is the time Mapogos fanboys are getting repeat of that infamous coalition. And this just confirms my claims i just wrote above. Unstopable force? Next Mapogos?... Wonder if you will write like that for 6 young Kambulas.

If im Bboys fan for defending them from you? Then i im, aswell as Ross males fan also, and fan of every coalition you are undervaluing or down playing for no reason. Now can we end this discussion..
