Their whole strategy and approach is different. In 2017-2018 they confronted two adult males and possibly more in the Manyeleti. They know the struggles of injuries and having difficult territories to take over where you have mothers and sub adults and nomadic males running around. OM thought just because he walked around Londolozi for one month roaring he had completed a take over. It’s sad to think how little he probably understood about how lion society works. He has never even seen an adult male lion up close since his fathers died.

Disagree on part that he never encountered other males, OM was chased by 1 and both Bboys multiple times in the past year.. He know exactly against who and how many lions was he against, and yet he still didn't back down.. 

Also he had an encounters with Ginger, HB, 4 Nwaswitshakas (few times) , Styx/NK and prob Tumbelas (althrough no reports but i assume he did as both where in Singita, and Tumbelas chose western sector and not his territory, he prob chased them atleast once) , and thats only what we know about, prob had few more, not seen.. 

I think its just over confidence and lack of experience for danger in these situations (which lions get mostly in nomadic days, when they are chased by dominant males 24/7) cost OM..

This guy was charging at 2 S. Avocas in 2017,at only 2.5 yrs old, they where almost double his size.. He was in charge of chasing Mhangeni youngsters at the age of 3, become dominant at the age of only 4, never had an threat for his territory in 2 yrs, he and Mhangenis where bullying everybody.. And now when he entered his prime, his confidence was over the roof and he wanted more.. Reply
