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.

The odds from such potential confrontation would probably be on the side of younger and probably stronger PC males and that is one of the issues of making coalition with Nkuchuma male. They could compete right away for some territory, but it won't be easy to succeed in it at all.

He can not even dream about it since the coalition of 4 is in charge there.
The last part is relative though. Not saying Nhenha with a back up would push into Nw's, but the number of coalition members is just the coalition's max strenght. Members of coalition split often and patrol separately if the area they control is getting too big, might favour different prides under their shared control, might not have a strong bond or are just inexperienced to avoid being caught in a sketchy situation without numbers on their side. Relatively recently this year Nhenha retreated from Mohawk because he did not know if Blondie is around as well. Happens all the time that coalition is not present with all its members. Now in case of Ndhenghas they are not thah green any more but it is entirely possible they could be just two of them somewhere or even one of them alone (Ubuso likely). And of it comes down to a skirmish, it is yet to be seen of Gore would keep is presence and was useful beyond being one more male binding rivals' attention (he for sure counts for roaring and non-contact warfare as long as he is around, his issue seems to be changing by recent pictures). However it is not likely any males would test them any time soon, Birminghams are not exactly known for all-in aggressive approach and Nhenha proved this year he is rather cautious than reckless as well (except perhaps against nomadic/inexpiernces males - I don't remember which one of the two Birminghams chased 3 Ndhenghas before; while the other one chased the remaining one). And other males and coalition arund them are solos or duos (5th Mantimahle with sons are perhaps still 3 but far enough for now), unless the numbers change or they catch a Ndhzhenga alone I don't see them being aggressors against them. Other males can always wonder in ofc.
