Both the Mayambula and Birmingham prides were around but 10 Mayambulas, all females and 2yo subadults wouldn't be a challenge for the Monwanas, so my guess is that they bumped into the Birmingham pride and Mbiri males.

If the Mbiris were involved, and these boys made it out with only minor injuries, they should all go out and buy a lottery ticket right away!

Not only that but it’d be scary to know some of these boys are already able to fight such a powerful duo at their young age, assuming the few injuries wasn’t from them escaping and being caught separately, and that’s ofc if they even come across other dominant males like the Mbiris in the first place.

Speaking on Mbiris, I think next year will be the year they are really tested and might even be forced into Manyeleti or KNP. Too many big coalitions around them, they can only hope these young and upcoming coalitions avoid them, or they scare them enough to send them out the area permanently.

The Mbiris have never been known to shy away from conflict, even when confronted by a lager force, but, as you mentioned, they are aging. At some point, that is sure to slow them down. These young Monwana Males have shown spirit since day one, they have been scrappy from the start, and they all remain, so they are surely doing something right. Reply
