Most males will be reluctant to keep charging until they come to blows, if the other lions are also charging.

The lion instincts will be like "hey if these lions are charging at us they must be strong and dangerous, otherwise they'd be running, so I better run myself".

Even the PCM who are males that liked to act this way, charging without a second thought to intimidate the opposition, and seemed confident in a fight, being big and powerful, were like "damn they are charging back, maybe we should be more cautious here."

Ndhzengas are just way too confident, if they don't deteriorate soon and aren't unlucky to get catch alone, I find it difficult to see them getting ousted if not being outnumbered, they can remain in power until their current offspring are independent.

Still, these very bold and confident males are also the ones who usually get caught and killed. Like, if PCM or Mantimahle had held their ground until they forced a fight, then suddenly in a brawl, things would be tough against such big, strong lions.

Still these Ndhzengas probably won't abandon each other and in a 2v2, even if they get dominated in the fight, they aren't likely getting killed or badly injured. 1v1 fights between lions rarely end up with serious injuries.

They're always up for a fight. So when the PC males finally came across males that actually wanted to fight them (or at least appeared to), it made them suddenly cautious in a way they hadn't been before. Might be similar with the Mantimahtle males, as we don't know much about their experience or history. But as @Tr1x24 the fact that they were ambushed was probably a big factor. Plus we've all seen the size of Amahle's head, that must be quite intimidating.

Yeah I don't see these two abandoning each other to get killed. Their bond, teamwork and the fact that they're not afraid to charge in would make that very unlikely to happen, in my opinion. But of course anything can happen. Let's hope it doesn't. Reply
