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.

At this point in time you'd think that they are aware that if they roar, the dominant males will show up, chase and beat them up.
Lions are opportunistic, they test the waters and see what it brings.
Its not like these guys are affraid of every single lion or group of lions in the area, they are pretty much on top of hierarcy, only few can match them.
Just because Mantimahles, Ndhzengas and PCMs overmatch them north, doesnt mean they will not try to compete in other area and just "retire" at the age of 6.
Also, they are prob not so familiar with Nkhulus, and their strenght (i am also not so sure how strong Nkhulus are, especially now when ST is injured), so they are testing to see what opportunities are in this area.
