@KM600
Young Nkuhuma seems comfortable with his pride, and the female backed him. The Kruger male won't be enough to oust him out of the pride.

Why not? If Kruger male can stay with the pride long enough, clashes between him and the young male will become frequent and eventually he will have to leave. Isn't that how all young males are ousted - they got the sympathy of their mothers/aunts/sisters, they still feel comfortable with their natal pride, but eventually the dominant male gets enough of it. Actually I was surprised the females did not help him more.

This time the fight was not very serious. NK put up aggression first but eventually became submissive. Surely Kruger male can easily take him on even if things get more serious than it was this time. It feels like Kruger male has been on a mission from the start of his nomadic journey into Sabi Sands, he wants to be territorial again. (Not saying he easily can with all the dangers lurking.)
