Birmingham Coalition Male Lineage

[Mapokser]

@Horizon why do you think they won't make their move anytime soon? Not in 2023? How so? 3 of them will turn 5 in four months, why would 5yo males wait? Wait what, exactly? They will have three 5yo males and a fourth brother of almost 4,5yo in an area where excluding their natal pride all prides have only 1 or 2 dominant males.

The usual time you talk about is now, 4,5yo is around the time lions challenge for a territory or become dominant outright, especially when they have numbers on their size which compels them to make a move even sooner, PCM and Gijima all became dominant around this age, so did Tumbelas I believe, and literally most lions.

Now PCM and Gijimas are 5yo and are kicking everybody's butts as dominant males despite being duos, and you think Kambulas being 4 strong will wait for 2024? This makes no sense at all, a lion may not be at his absolute peak at 5 years of age, but he is so close to it that it hardly makes a difference ( PCM whooping the Birminghams with hardly any difficulty, and Gijimas defeating Talamatis, Kambulas and Nkhulus showed it very clearly ), and again, being 4 males competing with much smaller coalitions make it much easier for them to make their move.

It may take a few months but Kambulas will definitely, 100% challenge for a territory in 2023, unless some catastrophe happens to them and they die off before they get the chance. Reply
