From what I'm reading from "Leo Vantage Safari Sightings" reports, 2 Gomondwane males showed up 1 hour after the fight scent-marking the territory and roaring, while the old lions vanished for days or weeks ( dunno if they were ever seen again ), then he also saw the third Gomondwane return in good health. The Shishengeni males had the advantage when they were chasing their opponents, this is intimidation, but as soon as the younger males gave battle, they won.

They won because it was 3 vs 2.

There's a reason why young lions ousting old males is a common thing. You'd need 2 young males to try to take on the PCM, but even then, considering their size and aggressiveness, it'd be very difficult.

Well yea, in a longer clash and chasing back and forth, younger males have advantage, but would not say thats always what decide the fight, theres many examples where old males beat younger ones, mostly thru experience, so yea, both groups have their strenghts. Reply
