The Tumbela Coalition

[Duco Ndona]

I doubt that just willpower is enough to shake off a rival coalition ripping up your spine.

The prime aged male lions we see are just a small percentage of the countless of young males that survive to that point. They are the ones that are smart, strong and resourcefull enough to keep themselves out of the mauls where the rest disapears in. So it makes sense that we see them surviving fights multiple times.

Sabi Sands also seems to be going through a more peacefull period of lots of smaller coalitions. Which tend to be more carefull and have less frustration to vent. So less fights ending up with straight forward kills. But with this peacefull period, more male cubs make it to adult hood so we are starting to see bigger groups again. So If this hunch is correct, we will soon enter a period of more fights ending in death. Reply
