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.

From what I can conclude in the video is that it's like they are just reestablishing the territory lines like the last time they chased back and forth in Londolozi as half of Londolozi is the territory of Ndzhengas while the other half is the PCM.
I usually try not to glorify male lion altercations, because it is a very grim thing. But it's seriously impressive to watch these duos push at each other. The first time they clashed it was the PCMs who charged first with the Ndzhengas then pushing them back, this time it was the reverse - Ndzhengas had PCMs sprinting for their life, only for them to mount a counter-attack and split the Ndzhengas up. As most people have said, let's hope this never actually escalates into a physical altercation. But both these duos are seriously impressive, and I admire how in sync they are with each other. Very difficult not to feel a sense of awe at 2 duos in their prime going head to head. Let's just hope they stick to what they're doing right now, which is reaffirming territorial boundaries. Ndzhengas need to check the PCMs' eastward advance so the PCMs continue to focus on their Western prides, and the PCMs need to shore up their eastern boundary so their lionesses can focus on raising their cubs.
