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.

I dont know what you are talking about.. They did it only because HB is not capable of chasing/facing them at this point of his life.. There was no 1 report in what 4,5 months (since they came here) that they chased or in any way confront HB, in contrary HB even steal a kill and chased 1 Tumbela without any resistence from the kill and Sassy..
Tumbelas are taking advantage of HB's age and health, they didn't attack him once for now.. If they where on a territory of prime male, they certaintly wouldn't have good time like in western sector with old HB.. But this is off topic..

Theres no certaint age when males are ready for takeovers.. Some males do that very young, around 4 as you said, but some males dont attempt that before 5.5-6 yrs old, many examples of that, just recently 4 Shishangaan males (>6 yrs old and still nomads, and they have numbers)..
Its all about confidence and that depends from individuals..
