Lions of Sabi Sands
|
@Friarfan619 Addo Boys were brothers with a strong bond, they were challenging and were full of confidence after getting one of the dominant males alone 2v1.
The other one tried to help his brother but he was likely a 4yo ( or maybe even younger ) small lion against a tough black-maned beast and an even larger male pinning his brother down, he tried but he had no chance, the other male was just way stronger. Same happened with 4ways and S.Matimba, one of the 4ways returned to attack HB but was easily chased off and even 1v1 the poor 4ways could do nothing to escape Ginger's grip on him, so HB eventually returned and they finished the job. But NK is a big, strong prime male with a ton of experience fighting as the underdog, while outnumbered, if he actually tried to save someone in a 2v1 he'd have good chances of achieving that. The only reason say Tumbela was badly beaten was because he was fighting 2 males alone, if NK were to attack one of the Gijimas and support Tumbela seriously, Tumbela wouldn't end like he did, Gijimas could make them submit and leave, but they wouldn't seriously injured anyone. Same for Nhenha who wouldn't have died if NK had given it his all. But of course, these clashes are much more complex than "why didn't he help?" NK lacks a strong enough bond to wish to risk himself to save his partner, because he doesn't know if his partner will back him up, nor he has enough confidence to engage these territorial males, he may think "I can stay and fight but will my partner do that as well? Idk, better run than risk getting 2v1d". When lions have a strong enough bond and confidence, they can stay and fight together, counting on each other to not leave them to die, so even if they are in a disadvantage, they'll likely not die. It reminds me of one of the Majingilane-Selati clashes when the 4 Selatis got 3 of the Majingilane, because the Majingilane didn't escape leaving one of their brothers to die, they lost the fight but nobody was seriously injured, and they even connected some good blows on 2 of the Selatis. |
