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.

They are clearly below average in strength and it shows, after more than a year in the north, facing low competition ( solo Mohawk and solo S8 ), they haven't accomplish anything, Ndhzengas are an even competition 2v2 but they shouldn't even be troubling the BDM, Ndhzengas have a huge territory already and it's 2v2, they probably only "pressure" BDM because they sense BDM aren't very strong, they don't try the same with Gijimas and PCM.
They failed to come even close of getting a pride despite plenty of females being around to be taken, and the only fertile female they got lost their cubs immediately and seemingly returned to the NK pride.
They couldn't properly oust Mohawk or his sons, didn't put any effort in ousting S8, and couldn't accomplish anything in Londolozi... They missed some key chances of eliminating Mohawk, S8 and the bigger Ndhzenga, but even when they caught some of them, they didn't do any meaningful damage. Now the Ndhzengas caught the stronger BDM and might have done significant damage.
I agree with them most likely not being as successful as people had once imagined in the area, but not so much with them being weak males. While it’s true, they simply haven’t initiated a proper takeover on Mohawk and Nkuhumas, S8 and Talamati breakaways or both NWS and the Kambulas, they’ve never had a direct confrontation with any of them apart from the bigger NWS male and I agree they should have done meaningful damage. Their problem has always been them not focusing on a singular pride and their dominant male(s).
