She did mate with K3, K4, K6 already and do not know why she kept treading a fine line with both coalitions, but she may be endangering the other Nkuhumas specially the subadults, its already good that Kambulas are tolerating the 4 subadults (3female and 1male) and we do not know what the Mantimahles will do bu seems like they will definetly kill them as they have more experienced in lion warfare. If the Mantimahle tried to go for the Nkuhumas and if the Kambulas and Mantimahles did go to a fight no one is safe as the testosterone of male lions will be so high and no one can expect on what will the 2 coalitions will do to the Nkuhuma Pride if they are so aggressive because of the testosterone levels being high. If she gets caught mating with the Mantimahles by the Kambulas or vice versa she may be in a dangerous position as she may be harmed or killed.

She has probably mated with them at some point, but we've seen mutliple reports and occassions (even on WildEarth) where she's trying to entice them into mating, and they don't seem to be interested. And we haven't heard of them doing this with any of the other lionesses. I don't think it's a coincidence that this has happened multiple times and she's the only Nkuhuma lioness that's saught out other males while the other lionesses all seem happy to stay with the Kambulas. That was my point. Reply
