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.

Since then RR has moved the pride constantly. I believe it’s his #1 tactic for protection. He does patrol and behave as a territorial male, but not when it’s 4:1.
He seems to have a much bigger area than
Socorro Jr had. He had more choices.
Male lions dont "move" the prides, prides operate on the borders of their territorial male/coalition.
When RRM clashed with Tintswalos, it was Nharus who moved south to avoid Tintswalos, as RRM went silent, then RRM rejoin them when he recovered.
