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.

That is because of direct competition, not because of the location. Prime Matshapiris were not to be mess with and the Birminghams especially not quite in their prime anymore rather wouldn't do better than Matimbas if they were at their place. Your list of coalitions defeated by Birminghams some absurd. Neither PC males or Nwalungu or Nwas ever challanged Birminghams. Each of them moved to the other arenas to contest other lands. You even mentioned in your post some transpasing youngsters mentioned by Mala Mala. They weren't even photographed. They easly would be just some 2 and half or so year olds. They also definitelly were not challangers to Birminghams lands. The only challanges Birminghams faced in the last 2 years were single Othawa male and 2 Avocas. Also even Avocas did not pushed on them too hard and still focus more around Nkuchuma pride insteed on taking over Kambula pride.

Lol you must be joking. Holding from 6 Matimbas (it that case it was rather just recon mission similar to 4 Nwas vs Birminghams, but still rather we would all agree to Matimbas were much stronger coalition than Nwas) and from 4 Salatis was easy and holding from 2 Avocas was very hard xD Times at the end of Mapogos reign (2011/2012) were the times of the strongers competition in Sabi Sands in the last 2 dekades, maybe even by far, while last years 2018-2021 were one of the easiest if not the easiest in terms of the male lions competition in Sabi Sands. Now the competition is a bit stronger with arrival of Imbali male, coming of age of PC males and N'was getting older and stronger, but those are still rather easy times with even big piece of land (Singita) being still at vacat. The current times are not even comparable to 2011/2012.
