These aren't big fights exactly ( involving carcasses ), while clashes and chases can happen, if a lion has a big territorial fight, their wounds will be immediately noticed by rangers once they get sighted again. Mala Mala had monthly reports on WSM and the Eyrefield pride, but they never noticed such a thing on young Makhulu.

Same in this scenario, while it'a possible Talamatis, Nkuhumas and Kambulas have met and chased each other, if there had been any significant fight we'd have seen the injuries, just like when the smaller Talamati male got injured in the west, we didn't know who attacked him but we saw he had injuries, was limping, split from his brother and guests said he got attacked.

I never said he was involved in big territorial fights, but more so he would have been involved in fights especially as he was in his prime. Reply
