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.

If she plays it smart and realize she shouldn't attack approaching females, she won't have a problem with her brothers and if the NK females try to attack her, her brothers would defend her. From the males perspective she's one of them, they spent their entire lives together and nomadhood, we've seen her grooming them and getting groomed by them, their bond is very strong, the Charleston female was even able to raise Sand River Males offspring and a random adopted cub despite living with her territorial nephews who accepted the cubs.
Only real risk would be the NK pride catching her alone.
But anyway, she will be turning 5yo soon, only reason she has not come into heat yet is because she doesn't want to mate with her brothers, but eventually she will and then she'll likely go look or some strong unrelated male to mate with.
I remember hearing some talk about how she may have already been in heat as her brothers were supposedly obsessed with her at one point.
From the females side I’ve said this before, I only believe she’ll be fully accepted by the Kambula males if she allows them to mate. Sure they can defend her from the Nkuhuma Pride if they were to secure it, but they’re not gonna always be there to protect her and have zero reason to constantly fight their own females for their sister who has no benefit towards them.
