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.

Of course it's difficult. I say it wasn't as difficult because they barely had competition.

I didn't forget anything. 1 old Rollercoaster male, and a couple of subadult 2-3 male coalitions hardly count as competition, no matter how much their fanatics try to turn it as a big accomplishment(as a comparison, when the Majingilane defeated and chased away both of the Subadult Selatis and Sand river males, they treated it as a joke because they were young, so there you have it).
It was only with the Gijima males that were a bit older that they proved enough of a competition for the Mapogos to actually make them think twice, and then the Majingilane chased them away easily. That's the only competition they had.

There were no "others" outside of 2 coalitions of 2 males each, and a couple of lone males. That's it.
They didn't have competition because they removed all and kept removing whoever came in.
They defeated 2 manyalelti males, 2 gijima males, 2 golf course males, Rollercoaster male, 2 unknown nomads, 3 toulon males, 2 nomads again and then again 2 nomads. Most of these were not sub -adults like you claim, they were going into their prime. So age 4/5. So yes, it does count as competition.
I didn't laugh when the manginjis chased away the selati or the sand river male. But in the selati's case, they were not coming to take territory from the manginjis, and they were 2.5 - 3. I give them the sand river male victory.
