Not saying Kambulas will have same path and success, they prob wont, as young Ross males where far more fierce and well bonded, but they still have plenty of time.

Interesting. I honestly know very little about the Ross males and personally had no idea they became dominant at 6, were they always a duo?  
What i know is that they were around beating other males even younger than that, as you say far more fierce and well bonded. Kambulas on the other hand are pretty much the ones getting beaten even thought they have the numbers, they sound quite like the opposite?

By the looks of it, K4 and K6 displayed to be the most confident males. Ik there is all that talking about K5 being the fighter etc but he is clearly the least dominant so far, acting the most like a nomad wandering everywhere, likely why he got beaten so many times instead of being the "aggressive". I think the one i've seen the most aggressive behavior so far was K3, attacking females and intimidating his own sister, etc.

K4 is almost fully recovered physically... Yeah perhaps a slight permanent limp but i wouldnt doubt that in a short while we will see him back (or close) to his 'old' self in terms of confidence.

I dont recall if it was you or sunless who precisely pointed it out that usually when the Kambulas are going "nowhere", K5 is leading, which couldn't be more accurate lol. 
K3 was very close to the Nks back in a few weeks, behavior i thought to be unexpected since he and K5 seemed like the duo of not very interested in mating shortly prior. Reply
