Obviously they cannot hide behind rocks and bushes everywhere they go.  I meant they should take advantage of their strength in numbers and not get caught in vulnerable positions where they don't have the advantage...Especially against lions in their prime.  Easier said than done I'm sure. It could be that the 2 weaker ones sometimes have a harder time keeping up with the stronger brothers, making it easier to catch them or the others alone.  We've seen footage of them lagging behind. 

Also, if it was the weaker two, they could be easier to take out, and not necessarily require an equal number of lions in their prime to inflict serious damage. 

I feel bad for the slower ones, if they are indeed the ones that got caught. Nature shows no mercy for any chinks in the armour, so to speak.

I hope, for the sake of the coalition, that one of the more dominant males did not succumb to injuries.... That doesn't spell the beginning of the end for them necessarily.....but is not a promising sign either.

It doesnt neccesary means that weaker ones get caught, more dominant males often split and become overconfident..

Recently all 4 where seen together in Sabi Sabi, so it might be anybody.. Reply
