The Tumbela Coalition

[Mapokser]

Shouldn't be better for this guy to remain close to the pride? Whatever coalition attacks him it will be 2v1, if he's with the pride, 2 females can help him chase the enemies away while the third one hides the cubs. Sure, it's a hell out of a task, but better than either him or the pride getting attacked while alone.

Or maybe he isn't aware that he's facing 2 different coalitions and believes PC males and Nhenha-Nkuhuma are together and therefore realized it's meaningless to opposite them?

From what I understand, males in these types of situation can benefit from staying close to the pride, other males managed to hold to their positions for a long time by doing that in the past. It's borderline impossible when they are heavily outnumbered, but in this case it's "only" 2v1 and he's at his prime, he should stay close to the females and try to hold it until his cubs are old enough to further his bloodline.
