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.

* Nkuhuma male... Lol
Jks aside. As we know the 2 most recent beatings (K4 and K6) they were definitly alone when it happened, so the brothers couldn't assist, but well it comes to a point that after so many its hard to believe they were outnumbered in all of the occasions... Its just unlikely, they used and still are 4 really close, afterall as nomads thats the common. For most of the year the occasions we would see them scattered were due to: K4 mating or a brother injured.
So yeah i personally dont believe the Kambulas were apart and couldn't help their brothers in some of those beatings, sounds more likely they just didnt help. Ofc we dont know what happened so it will just remain a somewhat irrelevant mystery, afterall what really matters is that they are alive and as long as breathing and in fine condition, a coalition of 4 can achieve alot indeed.

Worth mentioning the dominant duos of Sabi Sands are just formidable. If the Kambulas were about to represent significant danger i doubt the dominant duos would go as soft as they did so far. (except for K4's beating, that one was surely another level compared to the previous ones)
As it was already well-mentioned in this topic, most of the beatings the Kambulas received were the dominant males just getting rid of intruders but somehow not actual threats in terms of their approach. They aren't killing their cubs, females or roaring confidently trying to claim the territory, so its reasonable to think the dominant males that already beat them didn't went that hard either.
A coalition of 4 losing a member already goes down to 3, and yeah thats just a huge blow and duos as formidable as the ones who rule all over Sabi Sand could definitly overwhelm a trio.
Hi what are you talking about ? The four Kambula male lions? I do not remember reading Kambula male lions lost a member? K6 isn’t he just in the north? Is K6 ok? They always separate then they get together.
