They are nomads right now, they won't be fighting for mating rights anytime soon, so it isn't really a priority. There is an hierarchy among coalitions anyway, they won't all get equal everything even if they remained just the 3 of them. A bigger benefit for all is numbers, coalitions of 2 lions have to fight tooth and nail for territory and prides, and are always at the mercy of bigger coalitions. The 5 of them would have very little resistance if any when they decide to challenge for territory. I really think this is what made Mapogos what they were, they had Makulu to lead 5 youngsters and it made those 5 so confident that when it came time to challenge for territory, you know what happened next.

Difference between these 2 is 2 years (almost 5 and almost 3) which is huge at this point..

BYM/Torchwood are pretty much adult lions and ready for being territorial males, while 3 subadults are around 1.5-2 years away from that phase, they are not of use for 2 older males at this point, only would be eating their shares of kills.. 

Lions dont think logicaly like humans.. "Oh these 3 guys will be beasts in 2-3 years and we will conquer all Timbavati, we just need to wait for them to grown up".. Yea no.. 

BYM/Torchwood wont wait to their 7 years for this guys to mature to push for territory together. 

Coalitions like Mapogos and Mpondos had 1 older male who accepted subadults (or subadults /their pride accepted him) , because older male didn't had many other options, because he couldn't compete for territory alone and he waited those subadults to mature to push for territory.. If BYM didn't found Torchwood, he would might do the same.. 

Theres difference between making a coalitions between adult males and subadults, and adult males and adult males, obiviously adult males and subadults have completely different ambitions and priorities, which dont work well together.. 

Its like adult taking a teenager to get married or to bar fight, obiviously theres no place there for him yet hehe.. Reply
