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.

There were 5 of them that used to run away from the southern Matimbas, but with time their confidence grew and they began to become more vocal. the Matimbas realizing that there is no way the can fight 5 lions after losing several Styx cubs fled without even fighting. The same can happen here in about 6 months time. I don't see the southern Avocas being able to or wanting to fight 4 full grown males even though one of the four may not be 100%. The Avocas only need to hear 4 male lions roaring to understand that its time for them to move on unless they are extremely aggressive males which I don't think they are. They ran from Charleston in a 2 v 2 situation not too long ago when they are already full grown males.
Agree, takeover doesnt happen over night, in most cases it span over few months of testing strenght and chasing back and forth.
S. Avocas where fairly young when they run away from massive Charlestons (i mean who wouldn't run away from them), but now they are 7 and in their prime years.
