They need to be beaten around a bit so they settle further away from their natal pride and turn their cubish playfighting and youthfull naivity into actual experience and confidence. They are tought by their mother and aunts to run from any rival males coming close. So that is what they are going to do for a while until it clicks they are the rival males now. Size and numbers arent much a factor until that happens.

And Mohawks presence isnt going to change much in that aspect. He is just tagging along for his own survival, not some kind of sensei teaching his sons how to lion.

I didn't see anyone claiming that Mohawk was some sort of sensei, but I did say they are learning a tremendous amount from him. Can they only learn things like hunting from females, do you not think they will learn a lot from being with him during this period of their lives, a period in which the majority of male lions are on their own to learn from their own mistakes, mistakes that can at times be deadly?

I agree with you bro @BA0701 in that is very likely that Mohawk may be teaching his sons in different ways, and who knows perhaps also hoping to form a coalition in the future.

What needs to happen in order for ppl to consider this being a coalition, challenging for territory? I’d argue it could already be considered one, normally the young males would have been ousted long before now. Reply
