Birmingham Coalition Male Lineage

[Potato]

"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.. "

Yeah, but it is not like Tumbelas are hiding scared to challange single male (not in 1vs1 tho). I do not there is a reason to say Tumbelas are not confident to challange single male. So far they did not show any fear towards single male what so ever. I think if HB or Othawa male would roar on their territory they would go after them.

"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.."


Confidance is influenced also by the strenght of the coalition they are up against. Regarding age on which males are ready to take over I was talking on avarage coalition and on avarage males try their first takeover at age about 5 if they are somewhat in equal numbers, but they do try it much ealier if they are up against just a single male.
