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.

".Tumbelas are almost 5 and they are still not confident 3 vs 1."
I do not know what are you talking about. They firmily already while ago took controll over Matimba male territory.
"Some males are in "takeover phase" earlier then others, depends on their confidence."
That also depends from strenght of the coalition young males are up against and as I said there are multiple examples around of 4 years old males chassing around single prime, dominant male.
"For now Styx and NK are not showing anything that we can believe that they are ready to challenge even single male,"
Also neither of examples I provided was slow takeover. It was just once young males realised they have huge numerical advantage then atacked.
"they are keeping low profile for now,that might change in near future tho."
Any male keep low profile to some point in his life, but that nkuchuma and Styx keept low profile so far doesn't mean they will keep low profile forever. They are already at the are we should consider them of a competition for the dominant males.
