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.

You do understand, that there is no male lion alive who can defend his territory against 2 invading adult males?? It never happened.
So, he is a coward because he doesn’t want to die? How exactly he would beat 2 adult males in a fight?
Skorro Jr. defended his pride and territory against 2 coalitions of 2 males for almost half a year, this is actually great achievment which not many lone males would be capable to do.
So lets not "bash" Skorro Jr., he did everything he could.
Sorry to reply to such an old comment but I was re-reading this thread and saw more than the once the claim no male has ever won a 1v2 warfare.
And while I obviously agree it was completely unresonable to expect Tumbela to win against either Birminghams or PCM, it has in fact happened before.
I'm pretty sure both Nhlanguleni and Dozie did that, though they were the attacking party. They killed one of the dominant males and ousted the other, taking over their territory. So depending on the circumstances and if the male is very lucky, he can pull this off.
