The Birmingham Males
|
@lioncrazy I think the Matimbas are in a tough position right now with this boys putting pressure on them. But no, I don' think they'll do that.
Of course, we can't know for certain what wild animals will do, but the very act of moving together to a new part, conquering a new territory tells me this two are closer to each other than to the other males. To add to that, the other Matimbas are in the north, into Manyeleti and Hairy belly and Ginger went even more into the south, so they are separating more and more. I also read some time ago that the three Northern Matimbas are being pressured by the 4 young Machaton males, although that time they were able to pushed them away. Still, young males keep the pressure on when they are set on a takeover, and for relaivetly old males, that kind of pressure eventually starts to be too much, something that we can see here. But what is certain is that these males have their own trouble. So no, I think the southern Matimbas will fight this one on their own, but maybe if one of them is killed, the other one could return to his other brothers, as Mr.T Mapogo did 5 years ago after the death of Kinky tail. That is, of course, if the Birmingham males allow one of them to survive. We'll have to wait and see what happens, but is a great chance for us to see live a process that has happened over millions of years, and even more understand their behaviour. |
