Actually i dissagree.

I dont think "achievements" like number of offspring, prides, territory size, battle wons etc. are determined factors what makes male lions/coalitions famous and legendary (atleast for me).

Its their characters and stories which we follow, and often these types of "underdog/unlucky/tragic/unique" stories are more compelling and interesting to us, because in some way we can "relate" to them.

I agree with that, my point was more he won’t be recognised universally as a legendary lion. NK when it’s all said and done will be a legendary lion to me, no matter how little success he’s had up until this point of his life, bar still being alive ofc. He’s just got a story u won’t ever forget, and is the first male anyone will compare to any nomadic males who resemble part of his lifestyle. Reply
