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.

Whether its due to the lack of a strong opposition or something else, he never found the need to run like this in recent years. And a lot of times, this kind of running by a territorial male will turn out to be a sign of things to come.
Its a numbers game, there is no other lion who would do better here then S8, so yea, his weakness is that he is alone.
Regardless, this happened at Chitwa airstrip, which is BDM's territory and Nkuhumas area, even guides where suprised seeing them this far south.
S8 retreated north to his territory, BDMs defended their territory, they didnt invade S8, nor they are showing interest to do so for what we see.
So i wouldnt look much into this, not as S8 showing weakness.
