Lions of Sabi Sands

[Mapokser]

@Tr1x24 1/2 Ndhzenga is hardly "small", he is hella small, like legitimately one of the smallest lions ever seen. I wouldn't say size means nothing, but I'd agree that it usually doesn't mean much and it hardly is a problem for Ndhzengas.

And I didn't say BDM are weak because of Ndhzengas, I listed a lot of reasons for that, to put it simply, they were blessed with a good area, low competition, tons of opportunities and still couldn't accomplish anything, reason why I said they' re below average in strength.

Gijimas have messed with Ndhzengas already back when they were nomads and Ndhzengaz were 4... Now Gijimas attracted the 4 Talamatis that first mated with Ndhzengas and already have Styx and SP, so they don't have any motivation to push north, though they did visit Londolozi a few times.

PCM always patrol Londolozi, though not only they also have 3 prides like Gijimas but also a much more massive territory. Ndhzengas also have a big territory but push north, never south or west, maybe because like I said they can feel BDM arenaren't a big deal.

As for Ndhzengas being the strongest, that'd definitely surprise me if true. I never thought they were particularly strong due to running from 2 Bboys 2v4 ( as three 5yo males + one prime male ), and after that they never had the opportunity to show off much strength, though recently they have shown a lot, so yeah they are strong, but I still think PCM and Gijimas are the strongest and would put my money on them if they met Ndhzengas in Londolozi.

And as for females, lions don't usually get females for free, if every lion would wait for females to get back in estrus they'd almost never take any prides.

Even Nhenha and NK who weren't a big deal, having a weak bond, killed off the entire Othawa pride while trying to take over. If BDM were any stronger they'd be hunting down the Nkuhumas until they get accepted.

Mohawk and sons are no threat now, but are still with the pride that it "should" be BDM's as they defeated Mohawk who's now nomadic, still they lack the strength and drive to properly oust Mohawk and take over the pride... Plus give it a few months and suddenly Mohawk + sons won't be "non-factors" anymore.

There are/were lots of females: Tsalala, Nkuhumas, Talamatis, Talamati Breakaway. All within the north and central territories where BDM either control or hangout. Still they were unable to permanently get any of them. Only K6 who mates with any male available but always returns to her pride, and Chela who seemingly returned to her own pride as well after the cubs died. Reply
