Avoca Male Lions and Their Male Lineage

[Mapokser]

The first time the PCM met NK/Nhenha as dominant males having ousted Tumbela, there was an actual clash.

Nhenha tried to chase the PCM, walking towards them roaring ( there's footage with the guide describing it ), it didn't work out and he was almost caught, after that yeah they never had any confidence to stand up to PCM and became semi-nomadic males.

It's possible that, had NK done the same thing, standing side by side with Nhenha, things would have ended differently.

To our knowledge nobody has ever charged back at the PCM with numbers to confront them, the opposition has always fled immediately or lacked the numbers ( like in Nhenha's case ), until the recent clash with Ndhzengas where they were chasing one male but as soon as he met with the other, they roared back and chased the PCM, going back and forth.

So those young barely 5yo PCM would probably not have been able to oust Nhenha/NK so easily if they had stand to them together the first time, in a back and forth chasing. 

It's hard to see Mohawk or even his brother having similar strength to Nhenha back them, despite we knowing that prime Mohawk was able to chase Nhenha off in Birmingham territory.

When coalitions have the same numbers, as long as one side stand together and have the confidence to compete, it's unlikely they'd get rolled over by the opposition, like it happened to NK/Nhenha.

Even if we look at very powerful duos, you generally don't see them being able to easily show up, walk over another dominant duo and oust them.

Generally that only happens if one side is old/weakened like Mjejane ousting S.Shishangeni & Eastern Bank if I'm not mistaken, or if someone gets caught alone like when Skorros ousted thr Nhahru males. Reply
