Yea, as @Matimbalani pointed out, there is few example of lone males that has been successfull for 2/3 years to raise their offspring, but eventually they will get detroned by bigger coalitions, BDM has lost his territory just recently, and Xikukutsus with Mapoza are putting pressure on Giraffe male and its only matter of time when they wil dethrone him.

Big Boy is only 1 year or so lone male. 

Its possible but they need a bit of luck aswell as good territory position, for instance Giraffe male territory is fenced by 3 sides, HB and Othawas territory as well fenced by 3 sides, Big Boys territory fenced by 2 sides etc,

All those fences prevent other nomadic males to enter from those sides, unlike for instances Bboys territory where nomadic males can enter from all sides, i find that territory to be impossible to defend by only 1 male for 2/3 years.. 

Great current example is Hamiltons pride male, he is dominant for around 1 year and already has problems, as 2 nomadic males enter his territory from north and are currently causing troubles.. Reply
