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.

That Sir, is your opinion.  One which I don't hold at all. I am speaking of an earlier clash when he had 17 cubs. It is all documented on Youtube. Reply
