There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I dont think DM has either back up pride (yet) if he loses Talamatis, he is seen regulary around Arathusa/Elephant Plains and recently even further south, but he was never seen in all those sighting with Nkuhumas or his brothers.
People think that he will link up with Nkuhumas if his brothers takeover Kambulas, but i dont think females will accept him near subs (even rangers said on WE that Nkuhumas run away from DM roars towards other 2 Avocas) until they made into estrus again, which wont be prob for another year or so.
You're mixing up with a lion chooses to do vs. what he can do. Dark Mane can link up with the Nkuhumas or his brothers at any time during the past few years but he chose not to. Even in his interaction with Mohawk they ran into each other by accident... DM has never tried to actively join his brothers but only interacted with the NKs because they were ready to mate.
Secondly, I have seen at least three sighting of DM with an Nkuhuma after his argument with Mohawk. He stays for short bouts because no females are back in estrus and then leaves. WE's guides stories aside.
Finally this is silly argument. When a lion has a need, he will do whatever it takes to survive. Dark Mane's own worst enemy is himself because he has a loner personality, but with the right motivation he will go south and do what he needs to to reunite with him brothers and pride. This is why pressure is good... young males need pressure to leave pride. DM needs pressure to move on as well.
