A lot of males stay in company of their sons when they are ousted, but not many actually succeed to become territorial together, as most of those older males are around 10 or more years old when their sons are ready to challenge for territory (on average males produce their first offspring around 5 yrs old, and that offspring become territorial on average around 5, so thats ~ 10 yrs for father).

Being nomad at 10+ yrs old is hard, most males who got ousted in those years dont live for long, regardless if they have company or not (stress, fast pace, territorial males etc.). Having company is good and bad thing, sons are getting bigger and stronger, they will overpower their old fathers on kills etc.. Even Notch himself had hard time dealing with boys when they grew up, towards the end of his life, he didnt even hang with them.

Mohawk is over 10 yrs old, oldest boy is just over 4 yrs old, others not even that, if we judge by other up and coming coalitions in this area, they are atleast 1 year away from showing any territorial interests ( Kambulas and Talamatis are 1 year older and still didnt challenge anyone, BDMs also recently started challeging at 5 yrs of age).

I mean its possible that Mohawk becomes territorial again with them, but not very likely (same speculations where for DM and Talamatis).

5th Mantimahle also joined his sons, not sure if he was still alive when they become territorial at around late 2021 (approx), but even if he was, he died/disappeared shortly after.

Only one who can think of as recent, territorial father and son/s coalition for longer time in Kruger, is Lubyelubye father and son. They where together since 2016, become territorial in 2019/20 (not sure on that exactly), up until Son went missing in mid-late 2021, and as we see Father lived up until these days.

So yea, a lot of father - son nomadic coalitions happen, but very little of those manage to become territorial together. 

Thats why Notch story is so unique and rare. Reply
