They haven't lost a member for pure luck. 
Both Gijimas and Plains Camp managed to get a hold of a single of their members in the matter of a week or so

Everyone wants their favourite male lions to be the biggest, strongest, control the most prides etc.. it’s not realistic. If these kind of lions were so common, we wouldn’t have so many ppl that still interact on the Mapogo story, following their bloodline. 

Exactly. Being able to protect a territory and spread ur lineage is already more than enough.
The only concern for me is Kambulas getting themselves killed because of their confidence. But fortunately, seems like they are growing it, for now on i believe it only gets better.

This is not a game or competition which they are playing for us, so we can make "ranking list" or idk what..

Every lion, coalition and pride are different and unique, doing their best to survive, thats why its interesting to follow and observe them.

I only mentioned their male lineage for that exact reason 

People created out of pocket expectations because of their male lineage being the most formidable, but the Kambulas are themselves. They are unique like any other lion coalition. 

The point is, for being a lion (and any other animal in the wild) the best you can do to survive is to be strong. Kambulas are physically strong individuals, amazing buffalo hunters and have been doing well physically since ever. But when in enemy territory, not even trying to takeover, they were close to losing members twice in a week or so because a singular individual got caught. We barely see them alone so i would suppose Gijimas/PCM isolated one of them in some point during a pursuit, but assumptions don't matter, what matters is that they almost lost a brother. Their behavior to this day has not harmed anyone other than themselves, the frustrated spectators don't matter Reply
