None of these three are pushing towards any of the others, I believe it is because the risk of doing so outweighs the possible reward. There is a lot of young cubs all around, so it would not take a lot to get drive those females into estrus, but regardless of which duo we are talking about, to go after any of those prides is to risk everything you have, I think they all understand the strength of the guardians that would await them.

We've seen, just recenty, some interactions between the Nkhulus and the Gijimas, it seems the Gijimas are more comfortable taking their chances with a splintered group of 6 than to push into the PCMs territory, but we haven't seen the PCMs moving into Gijima territory either.

Then again I don't think PCMs are even aware of Kambula and Ntsevu prides and their numbers. They could have moved through Mala Mala/Londolozi on their nomadic way to the north (seen on WE then) but that was far before the Ndzhengas takeover and I don't think they've come close enough to know about them since. They for sure hear roars of other males, but as for the prides itself, they would just instinctively know there are bound to be some females, especially if their consistently hear dominant males roars from there, but don't realize if that is really the case or how many and it is currently too far for them. (at least I would say :) ) Reply
