Not true exactly.

Majingas and Bboys are one of most successul coalitions in Kruger (for what we know) and they did basically the same.

Majingas abandoned Fourways, Tsalalas and Spartas, while Bboys abandoned Nkuhumas, Torchwoods and Styxs, all before their offspring reached adulthood and independence (no offspring from those named prides where 2 yrs old before that happened).

And theres countless other examples, most recently in Sabi Sand where Ndhzengas, who abandoned Styxs when their offspring was not even 1 yrs old.

You are talking about coalitions who cant expand (because of strenght, numbers, strong neighbours etc.) , so they stay with their pride and offspring for longer time, but they are not doing that because they want to rise their offspring to adulthood.

N.Avocas would abandon NKs aswell in 2020/21 if they could completly defeat 2 Bboys,but they couldnt, so they stayed with NK, they didnt stayed to secure their offspring adulthood.

Male lions and coalitions dont work like that. Reply
