Even through Solo proved to be a bit more dominant than Freddy, Cleo was far less dominant. Any time they encountered each others Freddy and Solo had kind of stealmate while Cleo was intimidated by KNP male and always either run away from him or keept low head. Solo and Cleo did not manage to oust Freddy even through they were in situation 2vs1. When Sand River males came they sorted each of them out. For me Solo and Cleo can be argued to be weakest lion duo in Sabi Sands in the past 15 years and the example that body size is just one of the few factors in lion warfare.

Because SP was such a big pride, they where split so it was hard for Solo and Cleo to completely oust Freddy, also territory on which SP operated was massive. 

And they didnt "share" dominance for a year, because Sand Rivers enter'd the picture somewhere around August 2013,already seen mating with SP lionesses in September 2013.

Sand Rivers pushed Solo/Cleo north at the very end of 2013, and they completely oust Freddy in April 2014.

Solo and Cleo would eventually oust Freddy if Sand River males didn't came.

Sand River males also didnt completely oust Freddy for over half a year, and they where 3, that tells something about Freddy. Reply
