Also by looking at Mala Mala reports, Birmingham males are rarely together so as long as Avocas press their take over so far, that is by slow push and staying together then I do not see chances of Mohawk being singled out by Birminghams as high. Unless Mohawk goess to the center of Birminghams territory on his own, not hiding his presence at all as Othawa male did he should be okay.

Well Mohawk did that already, not as deep as OM, but he did challenge Nhenha without Blondie, so he definitely has confidence to go without Blondie, which is not good idea as we seen what happened to OM.. 

It is slightly limp, but even if its only slight limp he cant run as fast as healthy male, so he will definitely fall behind in these scenarios..

But as you said, his limp might not matter if they play it smart..

This is just a speculation, we dont know what could happen anyways, in fact, Avocas and Bboys might not even clash..

Mohawk was in a territory that he and Blondie scoped out for weeks. You do know the two were first spotted near main camp back in Feb? They spend over one year taking over the territory in Londolozi and Mala Mala.... that’s the size of a territory that OM tried to take over in under two months. 

They aren’t just driven by lust for females and power either. Mohawk refused the Kambula lioness based on reports.... how many males would have refused a female?

I know that even when males are careful things can go wrong. And although it’s my personal preference that they with the Nkuhumas, if they keep going down this path I think they’re doing it about as intelligently as two males can. If Mohawk runs head first into Rattrays Camp tomorrow I’ll be the first one to come here and say he’s being stupid, but he just hasn’t done that yet.

I will admit to being regularly surpised by lion behavior and their ability to strategize, none moreso than the Olalashe - Fang (Blondie) video. That video was proof that these animals have an ability of forethought and planning I didn't believe possible. Such interactions are precisely why I am so intrigued by these creatures. If what you say is actually what is taking place, then it would represent further evidence that our understanding of these lions is barely scratching the surface. Reply
