I wonder if there is just a lack of big prey in their current core territory. I haven’t heard of them on a Buffalo kill in ages. Nkuhumas like you said are moving south because of Blondie/Mohawk so the Talamatis can shift west to avoid other males .. if they keep doing what they’re doing there’s at least three coalitions they’re coming up against which is not great for the sub adults

Talamatis are surrounded by lone RRM, Imbali male and 2 Kruger males, thats not exactly danger for subadults if they encounter them, they can pretty much survive and take care of themselves now.. 

I think Talamati females are exploring future option, they will be (or already are) in estrus soon, so they are on search for males, and as it looks, DM wont be that male.

How did you come to that conclusion when they are and with dark mane now and running from the S8 and Kruger Males? You do realize the female’s number goal as long as the sub adults are with them is to protect them, not ditch them for new males? Especially these older lionesses... Every time they have encountered new males they have ran toward the roars of Dark Mane. Dark Mane leaves them for long stretches of time because he is in his prime and searching for new females but every time he calls they go towards his roars... and will do so until he leaves them officially. 

He was with them today too. 

Talamati subs are already at the stage they can participate in fighting and so Talamati pride having in total 13 individuals should east stand against single adult male if needed. Just remember when Kruger males were up a task of takeover Southern pride which had already cubs sired by other coalition. Even throught KNP males were 2 and were big individuals, 8 Southern females were able to hold there own and protect the cubs and in the end KNP males were forced to accept those cubs. There we talk about 13 individuals against single male. Reply
