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.

Dark Mane was found the next day by himself looking for the other two who remained together. So at the hands of experienced lions it's likely that Dark Mane will be easy to isolate. I also recall a Safari Live presenter speculating that it would be very easy for another coalition to dispatch the lone male before turning on the other two--I think they were referring to the Orpen Males should they decide to expand south. The distance may be close, but in a fight minutes can make a difference.
That said, I don't think the younger coalitions will be able to dispatch the Avocas that easily. The new coalition will probably need another year or two before they can seriously challenge them. Lone inexperienced males will be an easier picking.
Well chances that an experience coalition invade their territory is very slim, and as you said younger ones are not experience enough to dispatch them.
But anyways, in takeover scenario, its very rare that males engage at the first contact, days, weeks even months of roaring, chasing, testing the strenght of the opponent.
If the new males invade for example Avocas territory, first they will roar, and that roars will hear all 3 of them, for sure.
