Ximunghwe pride does not has established territory bassicly since 2014 and Ximunghwe female is in the current spot only since her daughter dissapeared, so since few months. Moreover historicaly it is not Ximunghwe pride territory either, but Othawa so you're very mistaken there.

She is just as stray as Ximunghwe female. She is not lucky to be aceppted as she is fully capable to feed for herself and definitelly I do not think "is allowed to join" is appropriate description of dynamic between those two females.

Not part of any group aside perhaps some brothers and nephews that decided to join them. They fall apart, form new groups, but typically not last longer than roughly a decade at best. As such they are defined not by lineage, but by the individuals that make them up.

The females works in this asspect the same as males with the difference it is way more rare with the females, that they are left by themselfs and need to seek buddys outside of their lineage as in this case when those two females are just by themselfs and it makes sense to join forces for better protection and to make hunting easier so bassicly for the very same reason males for a coalitions.

Anyway whether we would refer to this coalition as just "Nkuchuma males" or "Birmingham males" it would be equally wrong. They are Nkuchuma male and Birmingham male. Similarly wrong would be calling Othawa breakaway female as Ximinghwe female just because she joined up with Ximunghwe female. Reply
