They did, just after attacking Nhenha again in Ulusaba, PCM attacked Tumbela, the report was ambiguous regarding if they caught him and he escaped or if he outrun them, but in the next sighting we saw him with a puncture around the shoulder.

They also caught NK around that time and he was seen with minor injuries.

Tumbela fought Nhenha and both of them in different occasions. Fight against Nhenha was around april-may, fight against both was in december, Tumbela was roaring and Birminghams went to confront him and he was seen with a minor limp on one of his hindlimbs after the fight.

We don't know exactly when/how/why lions don't put the effort to deal a huge blow in these occasions but as I speculated it might be that they don't risk injuries when the threat isn't big, if you see the examples I gave, PCM performed poorly against lone Tumbela and NK, as well as performed poorly against injured Nhenha, but just a week prior they confronted both Birminghams and dealt a huge blow to Nhenha. Why? Maybe because they thought a healthy sort of territorial/dominant coalition of 2 was a threat worth of taking risks and injuring themselves in a fight to end the threat, but lone nomads or injured males aren't so they don't risk injuring themselves to finish them off because they aren't much of a threat to begin with.

Most of the other examples I gave also follow a similar trend. It might be the reason Avocas went for the kill, because they know Nkhulus are a huge threat and they can't miss their chances. Reply
