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 wouldn't call it 'outclassed', after all, the BDMs are a duo, who wouldn't be able to compete with a 4 or 5 lion coalition. It's just a matter of numbers. Yes, the N'was put them in their place, but they are in their prime, vs the BDM who are not. The fact that they keep going into their territory shows poor judgement and overconfidence....not lack thereof. I'd say they should def. lay low and heal up, forgot about takeovers at the moment. Their lives are at stake trying to compete with lions in their prime and larger coalitions. Look what happened to one of the Nkhuhuma boys. They are obviously not ready for major takeovers yet. I'm not sure I believe the so-called hunting accident theory. We'll see how it unfolds. More information might be forthcoming....
