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.

That was 1 month ago, not saying it would be different now, but i dont think Kambulas where in PCMs territory, at that time, to challenge them or anything, Singita and that area is their usual route.
Regardless, 1, or even few chases means nothing, 2.S.Avocas chased out 7 males numerous times, and still lost.
For now Kambulas still didnt challenge any territorial males, they are just bullying other nomads and (unprotected) prides.
Will they stay up north and challenge BDMs/S8 is yet to be seen.
Yeah but they started roaring and scent-marking one month ago, but no, they weren't in PCM territory, but their actions show their territorial behavior, recently they have switched from full nomads to males wanting to take a territory.
And I never said I think this chase means something in the grand scheme of things, I've always said I thought Kambulas would oust PCM eventually because their numbers are too big ( if they go in that direction, which I think they will ). But only a small correction, Avocas chased 6 males, once. And 5 when they injured Delaporte. They never chased 7, nevermind multiple times, and it was also obvious they would lose the war, we were only surprised they gave so much trouble to Nkhulus.
