I would say they likely would. I would not say that single Tumbela male would be much of a threat for those Talamatis.

I would't say there is no way for this. They would most likely run away, but I wouldn't be highly suprised if they wouldn't. One can just point example of one of the young Othawa males holding his ground on a kill against one of the Ndzenga males. Just to be clear I did not meant terrytorial takeover attempt from the Talamatis side, but just holding their ground if they would be atacked by Tumbela males.

To my eye it is clearly terrytorial roar. If she would want just intimidate hyenas then she would just growl.

One does not have anythink to do with the another. She chassed hyenas further off and then roared and scent marked.

1. She is already full belied (rest of her pride probably already left the kill to have some drink), she is protecting the kill probably just for sake of it.
2. If she would want to just keep on eating then she would do so after initailly chassing hyenas further away. She wouldn't need to alert her presence all around. She is not acting her like nomadic pride would, but like a terrytorial pride would. Reply
