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.

I do believe he is the least dominant because he was the last one of Avocas to mate with Nkuchuma females. Overall mating rights are by far the best way through which we can judge order of dominance within a coalition.
You have any evidence that he last mated with Nkuhuma lioness? There was 4-5 lionesses in estrus, so there was plenty of females for all 3 males..
Maybe when all 3 are full healthy, he is the least dominant because he is the smallest/weakest, but with DM injury got worse in 2019,since that time thats prob not the case anymore..
Dominance within lion coalitions changes daily almost because of numerous factors..
Saying that Mohawk is the least dominant, because he was in 2018 is rubish..
Im quite sure DM cant beat him in a fight with that injury.
If DM is still the most dominant since that last encounter in late 2019 (which he isnt), then theres no reason for him to follow Talamatis for over a a year, with 0 lionesses to mate with, and not challange his brothers, who are mating with Nkuhuma younger lionesses for over a year now..
He found them recently, and immidiately got dominated by Mohawk and was seen moving back north after that night..
DM might be the most dominant before 2019, but as his injury got worse in late 2019, im 100% sure he isnt anymore.
