How does this affect the Othawa's?  I know they aren't related, but if the Mangheni's expand their territory and with the Xhim's to the north of them, does this box them into that far Southwest Corner?  This area is fenced off correct?

We were thinking along the same lines!  Whoa, my fear as well!  There really is no reason to fear the smaller prides around them, unless they wish to avoid conflict for the sake of their cubs, however once their cubs reach around 2 years of age, and they need to expand their territory to feed them and spread out the family a bit, well, they can take away territories from smaller prides.  I guess it's been done many times in the past.  That's why, when prides get too small after awhile, they start to live on the fringes, in between territories, with a very uncertain/dangerous future.

Yes, it is fenced off, so the Othaws and Xim. Prides are boxed in, so to speak.  All the more perilous if they are ever caught in an ambush. Reply
