Actually this exact scenario unfolded recently with the Kumana male and the Maputo male. Kumana male was being challenged for his pride and territory but they ended up forming a coalition in the process, It was the Shishangaan pride If I remember correctly. VERY uncommon behavior but apparently It does happen.

That is very interesting, I was not aware of that situation at all. Just like with Freddie and Solo, I wonder how the pride reacted to Kumana bringing Maputo into the pride, especially if there are cubs, and Maputo's reaction to those cubs as well. Very strange indeed. Reply
