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.

Aswell as size of coalition compared to pride they takeover.
For example, lone male or duo cant exactly do much against big pride of lets say 6 or more females, who will protect their offspring, or just avoid them.
But bigger coalition can, they can overpower females and kill them if needed, also can easier hunt down if the pride is on the run.
Thats why we rarely see a big coalition adopting and tolerating young offsprings, their takeovers are more violent.
