Really? It used to be waaaay the other way around.
i think tinyo is more rough around the edges and cantankerous. I agree with you that he's the cause of #4's scars. Mfumo/#4 is much more passive. Just because they prefer mfumo, doesn't deter tinyo from his time with the girls.
I've never read much about the dynamics with the torchwood pride. The bboys have control of that pride, but I couldn't tell you which lion has mating rights.

I don´t know if his injuries were inflicted by one of his brothers if they were it was a pretty rough fight because he had bite marks in his face/shoulder and normally fights between members of the same coalition don´t involve much biting also none of the others had any wounds him being battered that badly without causing any wounds on the other lion is not very likely.

Didn´t know where to ask this question
When lions patrol they often move in a straight line I wonder if there is some sort of order, do the most dominant males stay in the front and the others in the back or is it totally arbitrary ?

I think it depends on how lazy each lion is feeling that day, or how intent on doing something. But I don't think it has anything to do with hierarchy, I've seen pics of all combinations of it on the various coalitions we follow.

I´ve seen videos of the majingilane patroling and more often than not it is Dark mane that is in the front might be because he is the most agressive but if I´m not mistaken Hipscar was the most agressive so I don´t know
It is said Dark mane is the one that engages first in confrontations why is that

Nah, there are as many videos or pics showing him on front than following his brothers.
I don't think lions decide or show their dominance that way, although there are other species that do so, like gorillas and wolves. But I don't think it applies to lions, they're too lazy for that.

A lot of confidence on his part, I guess. It's a very individual thing, you see it with the Birmingham males as well.
