Nkuhuma Pride

[Cath2020]

Omg, poor Ridgenose now will be a lone lioness.  Her last 2 years of raising just 2 youngsters almost in vain.  It will utterly be a waste if her son cannot become a successful male.  I really hate that this happened.  All is not lost yet if the male can overcome his sister's death and find a way to beat the odds.  We all know how lone males have it rougher though.... He'll have a lot to overcome.  

Smaller prides have to navigate that fine line when in the territory of a coalition they are under, because that very same coalition can harbor other prides that will not hesitate to attack and kill rival females in other prides.  It's a very hard thing to do.  Maybe she got just slightly relaxed now that her subs are 2, but still, as they are a small pride, they are always vulnerable.
