@criollo2mil there's another lion in the video so it can't be Skorro Jr... Unless he's with Ximhungwe and Gingerella.
Quite bold of him to hangout with the females after fighting the 2 Birminghams.
This is Skorro. The proverbial third dog running of with the bone. Not one of the PC males that fought the Birminghams.

Until we get confirmation, one way or another, posts such as this one which are lacking in credible sources, should be viewed with skepticism. (01-03-2023, 12:54 AM)Duco Ndona Wrote: This is Skorro.

I know, I wasn't talking about this new fight, a couple of weeks earlier the Birminghams attacked him so I'm surprised he is still visiting the females after that.
Is it hoping for a conclusive fight that bad? Like morally wrong or something? Or even that Nhenha accepts defeat and doesn't return? I'm saying this because of the dynamics in the Western Sector right now, it's chaos for everybody.
Everyone has a lion they like more and therefore won't like seeing they die, but fighting and killing is part of their lives, both the Birminghams and PCM have slaughtered the Othawa Pride, PCM also killed the Tsalala female and might have killed some more lions that I can't recall right now, it's sad and brutal but it's how lion dynamics works, Nhenha and the Nkuhuma male caused their fair share of destruction, but failed at protecting the Ximhungwe pride and their offspring, and now got attacked by other lions. One day you have the upper hand killing cubs and females, or attacking lone males 2v1, some other day you face someone stronger and lose, it's normal. PCM are dominating the Birminghams right now but In 1 year they might see these two Birminghams' sons/brothers dominating them, and they'll be the underdogs. I don't think the Birminghams are seriously injured, but whatever happened to them, what I know is that if they never show up in the West again, the Nkuhuma Breakaway female will benefit from it, her 2 cubs will benefit from it, Ximhungwe and Gingerella will benefit a lot from it, 5 Manghenis and their potential cubs will benefit from it, even the 2 Othawa subadults will benefit from it, though in their case I don't think they have any chances regardless ( I hope I'm wrong though ). At the coast of one Birmingham ( who is unable to protect any prides ), more than 10 lions will benefit ( if Manghenis have cubs already we might be talking about 20+ lions being better off without Bboys around ) and the Ximhungwe-Othawa Breakaway pride will finally be able to start raising a litter. Of course, it didn't need to be this way, Birminghams could've moved on, but they keep returning time after time, meaning unless things are settked in a fight the lion population in that area will be unable to grow. Nhenha is a very old lion who sired countless cubs already, I'd hardly call him dying in battle ( if that were to happen ) a catastrophe, rather, it'd be a fitting and natural way for such a successful lion to go. Plus, he doesn't have anyone but himself to "blame", he had ( and I'm confident will still have ) chances to leave the area for good, as well as had chances to fight a fair battle, win, and proceed to raise new cubs. Sure, who has him as a favorite will naturally hope he keeps going, but I don't understand getting all worked up over this clash as if the possiiblity of a successful old lion ( who's a nuisance to the lion population of the Western Sector since he can kill other lions but not protect his own ) getting injured in a fight is a tragedy. |
