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.

From a pure looks standpoint Yh they look better than the Talamati and Nkuhuma YMs but that’s mainly due to them being older. The Nkuhuma YMs despite being younger seem to be more territorial already albeit having Mohawk as a father figure prolly makes a huge difference. The Kambula males have been seeing roaring around Londolozi an area that isn’t under full control by any coalition/male, Skorro YM controls part of it but that’s one male, the Nkuhuma YMs look to be challenging the BDMs at such a young age, imo that’s way more impressive. Also worth noting the Kambula males seem to be fine with the size of the coalition with no real effort to increase the number despite being around males who could seriously help them, that being Nkuhuma Male and Talamati YMs. The Nkuhuma YMs seem to be more accepting of possibly increasing the size of the coalition, it’s not set in stone there will only be four members in the coalition, 5 if u include Mohawk.
And just because they're roaring, and think they're ready, doesn't mean they are. The six Vurhami males thought they were ready, and look what happened. They'll have extra confidence because of Mohawk, but they've never gone up against other, adult males before. I mean they haven't even left home yet. Males need to go through the tough, nomadic stage, which tends to harden them and make them ready.
I agree but my whole point is they’re pretty much in a similar situation with the only opposing factors being age and size, although nobody can guarantee Mohawk stays with the Nkuhuma YMs. Neither coalitions have went up against males and the Nkuhumas are only allowed to hang around imo because Mohawk is keen on them, whether that’s because it’s extra protection or whatever reason. With both coalitions pretty much in the same situation in terms of not yet openly challenging for resident prides, I’d always argue the younger coalition is considered more impressive.
