There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Its not really about having bloodless takeovers. Its more about their lives in general.
Whatever time they spend traveling around their territory to scent mark is time they could spend hunting for food and looking for lionesses. So if you are not facing any challenges you are not going to spend much energy on stuff that prevents such challenges. The Kambullas, being a large group are counting on the idea that being in a large group is enough to scare other lions away. And have yet to learn that that simply isn't enough and leaves them vulnerable on their own.
