In a 2v2 one will always be reluctant to go for an all out takeover, the risk is big. But 7 Nkhulus knowing only 2 Gijimas ran from them already, nothing is stopping them.

I dont think it matters.

Nkhulus at this point know they can beat any 2 lions (even more), as they already did with 2 S.Avocas.

This is not their first encounter with Gijimas, they very well know they are only 2, but still didnt go for their territory.

Big coalitions dont just randomly expand because they can beat their neighbours, theres more to this.

By that logic, big coalitions would just expand and expand, and wouldnt settle nowhere for 2-3 yrs, as coalitions do.

Nkhulus will eventually expand, but theres no reason to believe they will specifically go for Gijimas territory.

Nkhulus most of their time spend in Kruger anyways (based of sightings).

Also, Gijimas showing confidence and no fear roaming Nkhulus territory is definetly better then hidding deep in their own territory. 

Even if Nkhulus chase them back, this shows Nkhulus that these 2 are very bold and confiident males. 

With hidding and not showing your neughbours that you are here and ready to compete, you are giving them signs of weakness. Reply
