It's a little misguided, stating it as that. They stayed in that territory conquered by the six(or five, if Mak wasn't with them, but the idea remains). Not by them alone. By the six, and when the others came back west, they decided to stay.

Defending it wasn't as difficult as it seems, considering it was basically empty, aside of the old Rollercoaster male, who they had running all over the place for his life.

It's isn't a matter of "couldn't". 

They could, and did hold basically all at some point, following their second takeover, that is in 2014. They just simply decided to move camp and focus on the new one, the new prides.

What they or any other coalition can't (couldn't) do, and this is an issue that will present itself to the Birmingham males now, is protect efectively all of that territory.

So I would make a little change in your statement. To me, what lions do isn't kill and breed. 

It is protect a territory and breed. The former involves, from time to time, killing, but killing isn't their first and primary concern. Reply
