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.
I've actually seen lionesses (in videos) being very violent and sketchy to the actual fathers of the cubs at the den sites so I'd say its probably coincidence and just along their territorial patrol route which is indirectly a good thing for the mama and cubs. Maybe some lions are more interested when they come across den sites and maybe sniff around and hang for longer periods of time than other lions. Probably the exception tho, not the rule.
I might say the 2 PC Boys might see Scorro Jr as not a threat as he seems to be not always in great shape. They might think he's not worth the trouble to get rid of. Not a good sign for Jr.
