I dont think this will stick either, atleast not in Sabi Sands.

Thru last year, NK was with Tumbela, 2 Talamatis few times, Skorro Breakaway, again Tumbela, and now again lone Talamati.

And story goes the same way every time, its all sunshine until they start roaring and face territorial males for 1st time, then they get chased, separated and just move on.

Those coalitions are too short together to pose a threat to powerful coalitions like Gijimas, Ndhzengas, PCMs, Nkhulus and even Kambulas at this point.

You need years of bonding for that, and its not like these adult nomads will build up bond and teamplay for 1-2 years and then make a move.

Coalitions like this, made of 2 or more random adult nomads, almost never work, for longer period.

For that to work, you need bonding from early nomadic stages, when they link at 3 to 4 yrs of age (what NK had with Styx, what Mongawane or Orpen males had). 

And even those are quite rare. Theres nothing like bonding from 1st day together. Reply
