But Gijimas are only 2, and they'll have to be looking over 2 prides and for 3 years if they want their cubs to survive, bigger coalitions can come overthrow during this time so I dont think they are good dominant males for this pride.

We cant think like that, every coalition faces threat to be overthrown, even 3, 4, 5 male coalition can lose territory, there is always a bigger and stronger fish.

Duos are more then capable to be territorial for that period, some of the most succesfull coalitions in Kruger are/where duos. 

Most of territorial coalitions in Kruger are up to 3 members, above that is quite rare.

Their neighbours, S. Avocas are territorial for 5 years now in this area.

Obiviously if coalition of 4,5,6 males challenge them, odds are not great for them, but there is not a lot of those around. Reply
