Mangheni Pride

[Mapokser]

2013 Tsalala cubs were a second generation, first generation was born in 2011, which shows they properly raised 1 generation and it goes against your point that males will always abandon 1yo vubs if they can.

I also never said that abandoning 1yo cubs is abnormal behavior, but if you agree it is not good then we're not in disagreement. My point is just that coalitions, regardless of strength, will often properly raise cubs and therefore have morr success than if they abandon 1yo cubs after 1yo cubs.

Your claim that they couldn't expand because they were old doesn't hold. Bboys could easily take over Mangheni pride from OM but never pressured him and the pride even after killing OM in Bboy territory.

Majingilane could do anything they wanted, they were by far the strongest coalition and the only ones who technically would be stronger, the Bboys, were dead afraid of Majingis and would run from them even in their own territory and with more numbers, they never made claims in the east until the Majingilanes died, before that Majingis were expanding back to the east to take over their Kambula daughters.

Also lions are not machines to think in a completely logical way "well I abandoned first generation of 4ways cubs so I'll abandon all other cubs from my other prides", that's not how it works, they shift their territories depending on a lot of reasons like number of females in the pride or the availability of food.

Majingilane had no reason to necessarily remain with Mangheni pride for 5,5 years, but did anyway. Reply
