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.

You guys are severely overestimating the Nwaswitshakas.
Being a coalition of four is meaningless if your members are scattered all over the reserve. They just cant be with all four members at all those prides at the same time.
And thats going to be an issue with the Avocas, Nym and PC males around.
Why would the Mhangeni prefer abandoning a large part of their territory for a coalition that has so far shown little interest in them and may be gone to hang out with other prides most of the time. Over the males on their own territories that they wont have to share.
And you are underestimating Nwaswitshakas, they behave just like any other big coalitions, they are not "scattered", idk from where is even this false narrative, because Eorenji was 1 time seen alone or what.
How do you think Majingilanes, or Bboys, or Mapogos etc etc controled multiple prides and large territory?
Isuses woth Avocas, NK or PC males?? Theres no way that neigbouring coalition of 1 or 2 will invade coalition of 4..
And Mhangenis are still in Sabi Sabi today, in their core territory.
The Birmingham Boys abandoned prides when defending them became to bothersome and the Mapogos did split eventually.
And while the Nwas are spending weeks with the other prides. Why wouldn't the PCmales try something? Its not like the Nwas will find out until its too late.
Its not like it deterred Nhenha from circling back to the Kambulas.
They N'was may not even care. They afterall have spare prides.

Same case goes for the N’was males. If they don’t stick together, rival males can catch one of them off guard and kill him. So basically what we’ve seen with Eorenji is not good news, because he is lone and doesnt know the dangers of enemy territory. And he can end up like OM. He needs the backup of his brothers.
If any coalition is scattered all over the place, the N’was males could end up like the Vurhamis, or die one by one like Bboys
Thats what I am somewhat worried about. The more prides they have. The more terrain they have to cover to keep them under their control so the less time they can spend defending each individual pride if they stay together. But if they split off, the numeral advantage they have is gone.
