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.

Still. If they insist on taking over a pride. Ximhungwe would probably the least destructive option. It would instantly put a stop to the whole Skorro, PCmales revolving door and with the cubs only being a a few weeks old. The pride wouldnt lose too much time.
I think Ximhungwe would be a horrible option.
First of, they'd kill the current cubs. Second they'd kill Othawas in weeks at best, there's no way they'd survive with 4 territorial males roaming their core territory, just like they weren't surviving when only Nhenha and NK were ( and they didn't even spent all their time there ).
Since Nhenha's demise, some 8 months have passed and no Othawa was killed, before Nhenha's demise, 3 subs and the 3 adult females were killed in less than 6 months.
Then there are the Manghenis, it'd be impossible to keep 4 Kambulas with only the Western Sector, they'd 100% sure clash with PCM in Singita, the Kambulas grandfathers and great-grandfathers ahd the same numbers and controlled the West + Singita and used western Londolozi as their backyard, so there's no reason 4 Kambulas would be content with 2 females and only the Western Sector.
Best thing that can happen to the other prides is for Kambulas to settle in Londolozi and a bit of the northern areas. Talamatis could settle there as their major pride, and they could be mating with Tsalala and eventually the Nkuhuma females. This would push Ndhzengas more to the east and PCM to the west, but it'd be enough territory for everybody and could keep Kambulas busy for at least 1,5-2 year, which is the bare minimum literally every single pride would need to raise their cubs.
