They are just only now turning 6 years old....so they must have come when they either just turned 5 or right before.  They are still young and do not need to risk it all for the NK Pride.   

They also do not have cubs to defend yet, so they might not see it in their interests to fight 4 vs 2 for unrelated females, when they could leave again to find another pride.  

The young males in the NK Pride might benefit if they do not go to war.  I think the two 2021 males are in real trouble if the Kambula Young Males decide to go all out for a takeover.  I don't see them being as tolerant or cozy with them at all.

I somewhat agree but I think at this point the BDMs are aware Nkuhuma Pride is the only major pride in the North, they lose that territory and they have zero access to females unless they go South.

What prides would be more readily available in the south?  They could go to the Mbiri, Nharu Pride...for example...There are fewer then 3 pride males in each.  Even the B'ham Pride only has the aging Mbiri duo... I'll admit, I'd hate for them to have to lose their territory after a year, but is it worth fighting 4 males over?  Supposing it comes down to that.... I'm just thinking that it's not worth it when they haven't gotten any cubs to fight to the death over, however if they are more patient, they could eventually have a pride with cubs of their own.  Time will tell if the KYMs are serious or not.

Was on about heading South from where they currently are, either through Londolozi to the West or straight South to Umkumbe. Reply
