Lions don't just avoid fights because of numbers but because a dominant male can easily tear through a young lions neck or spine. An older male has alot of power and size. If Nhenha catches one of the two, he can seriously injure them. Tinyo in fact tore through one of their paws so that young male is limping.

Also I disagree that the Tsalala is in a bad spot. Her territory is extremely flexible and surrounded by rivers. Nhenha even crosses the river when he goes to see her. Her only threat is the Kambula rn.

Ty @Slayerd for sharing the same toughts, i've been saying the same thing, otherwise young lions would not run from dominant males if they have numbers, they are running for a reason, dominant male is much more powerful and as you said can break a spine or heavy injure a young male before the numbers would matter..

For Tsalala, she is in a bad spot because theres many other lions and prides around, for example lone Sparta lioness and her cub has nowhere near as many lions around her area, the same goes for Ximhungwe lioness and her cub in southwest Manyeleti, chances are much higher for those 2 lionesses to succeed than Tsalala have..
