If Mantimahle try to take over the Imbali and NK prides, Kambulas will likely move off south again.

Dunno if I'd bet they are the most intimidating males, we know very little about them and haven't seen them interacting with other dominant duos. We all thought PCM were "invincible", very scary, charging at anything, but once they actually met a strong dominant duo, it was a normal evenly matched clash, instead of them steamrolling over the competition like they did to Nhenha & NK, or the many nomads they met.

I think Gijimas are the boldest of all these guys and Ndhzengas/PCM not far behind, only difference is that Gijimas and Ndhzengas aren't very big with huge manes so it doesn't look like they could steamroll other duos, catch one and "easily" kill them, meanwhile PCM and Mantimahle look so impressive that if they catch a rival, it gives the impression that they'd more easily inflict severe damage.


Still you never know, at their age Kambulas can potentially switch to fully territorial any time soon, if their Majingilane genes kicks in, 4v2, they can end up killing a Mantimahle or PCM who would still believe they can still chase them off.

They have chased Mantimahle 2v1 already, as well as Kruger male, and even Red Road sort of "1v1".

Against 2 is a complete different story since they have the potential to kill a Kambula, while a lone male basically can't, but it'd still be 4v2, three 6yo and a 5.5yo who's more dominant than two of the 6yo.

I'd like to see how the Kambulas would do as pride males with cubs, hopefully good, because a big coalition might be what some territories and prides need, enough males to spend time with all prides. Reply
