Ok you are right, they where a bit younger, fight happened in march 2012 ( i taught it was mid 2012), Selatis are born around late 2017- early 2018 in couple litters.

So yea, depends in which months are exactly born.

As we saw recently, the 3 young black rock males around 3.5 caught out one of the huge Salas and tried to finish him off, was a narrow miss. The ones that killed Bob Jr too didn’t even look 4.5.


 Not trying to say one scenario is a great outcome and the other is bad. Just interested in the process, on how and why some of these nomadic males evolve and gain confidence quickly.

There is no simple answer to this, its mix of many factors.

Its about their "characters", which they develop partly thru genetics and rest they gain thru learning experience and enviroment they live in since 1st day they where born.

We dont know what 2 older Kambulas are doing in Kruger.

As for other 4, no , they are not taking time, if we know that on average males over 4.5 - 5 yrs start to challenge territory and become territorial after that.

2 Talamatis are their age and also didnt make any moves yet, 6 Birmingham breakaway (some even older) and Nkuhlus are also their generation, still no moves yet.

Those who did it before that ,at around 4 yrs are exceptions and minority. Reply
