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.
I dont think he is a pushower, if he wants to join other male, which he wants, he needs to be submissive at first if other male acts agressive, otherwise 2 agressive males towards each others will just end up in a scrap and move on different directions, not sticking together.
Nhenha was not pushing him over when they meet and formed coalition, both males wanted that and thats why they formed close bond quite quickly, he was beating him in fights for mating rights, as Nhenha is more experienced fighter in these kind of situations and prob overall slightly stronger lion.
Problem is that Talamati and Tumbela where not interested, for different reasons, they acted agressive, NK tried to act submissive in order they change their behavior, but it didnt happen.
If he also acted agressive, chances they would stick together would be pretty much 0.
