There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Could also be (besides most probable random separation splitting them into two+ groups) that the less developed male followed his sister as a food provider, source of food maybe perhaps having that as a bigger priority than the other two. If it is the same one that stuck with Gingerella on a kill with NW male, maybe he has been more food focus, yet but oblivious towards (male) lion dynamics, doign what he has known all his life, following others to food and hold his spot on a kill.
I wouldn't be that surprised if he would be seen with NK again. Not necessary as a partner, NK is know to leave more suitable buddies (Big Boy), but NK might be more recpeptive to others now being alone and tolerate him around. Plus we don't know what kind of Mystery male or new myster males altogether could wander around.
Gingerella luckily is close to home and even if he stays as a lone female for a while, there is bit of a space to operate in, Tsalala and Ximhungwe are doing the same and while it is better to stay away from them, they are not as deadly as a full pride of females would be. And with no cubs atm it is not completely out of question she could be accepted in, happened before in western sector, not something that could be expected to happen, but once it happens once, you'll never know.
