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.

I kind of don't like this whole "beng useful to be allowed in" argument, I don't think they really care. If there's a bond or certain level of familiarity between lions, they will accept each other. The limping Monowana was able to find a coalition partner in the condition he was in. If lions were so calculated, something like that wouldn't have happened. The Avocas clearly still felt a connection to him and were probably happy to finally run into him again.
Limping Monwana prolly wouldn’t have been accepted if Giraffe male had another partner, and he was seen multiple times roaring, scent marking etc. He wasn’t completely useless and for an already lone male, it made sense to stick with him.
Both Nkuhuma boys already had these 2 Mantimahle lionesses before Mohawk come back and have been in perfect condition. So has it helped Mohawk, the fact he has a pre-existing bond with them, ofcourse, but it’s not the sole reason he’s stayed with them. They wouldn’t let him interact with their lionesses and help feed on their kills if he wasn’t pulling his own weight too.
Hi that is not true what you are saying about Mohawk and Nukhuma male lions. I am saying all lions feel, bond. Mohawk was with his son’s young sons. He must of helped them before they can help. I have seen lions young lions and lionesses help an older lionesses; a lionesses could not bite, because of missing knines, but lionesses help biting to open what lioness couldn’t. Nkuhuma male lions are must love and like Mohawk around they have a bond. I think it was circumstances, but it happened. If Mohawk was with brothers he may not stayed with Nkuhuma. They are two Nkuhuma male lions maybe if there were more brothers, but may want his company.
