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.

The only cubs they have at the moment are those of 3 young Nkuchuma females with which all 3 Avocas has mated with so I do not think there would be any casualties in cubs if Avocas would rejoin. All of them would see those cubs as potentially their own.

Only at the beggining, but later on when their bonds would be fully rebiulded they would again function like standard coalition in which strongest males would be more dominant then the weaker ones.

Yes, but...

He can certainly get by scavenging and making small kills, but needs a pride to fully sustain himself. His brothers and the Nkuhumas would be his best option, I think.
DM since he was pushed by Imbali male rather does not have evough space nor a pride to function as a lone dominant male. Rejoining his brothers seem to be definitely the best option for which he has available.
