I dont think he is threat for the cubs, i think he is more joining them because of company then because he wants to takeover them or something, especially at this stage.

He did the same thing with unknown pride in Kruger not long ago.

I mean, if thats his intentions, he could just as well attack those subs, but he doesnt.

And in the end, as a nomad male who lost his brother just few months ago, i dont think he yet has confidence for such things.

In the past, his brother showed most agression towards other lions, he was more of a gentle giant joining parties around in a submissive tone.

According to Cedric in this most recent video, after he left them last night, another guide remained, and that guide told him that the females jumped on him and cuffed him up a little last night. The fact that he remains, and seems intent on just hanging and sleeping with them, I do believe your assumptions are exactly what is taking place. He's not taking over, he's just lonely and looking to be with other lions.

Ye it was said that a bunch of elephants actually pushed him towards the females which allowed them to grab hold of him before the elephants chased the lions to stop the commotion they only enhanced. 

The way I see it, Khanya certainly doesn’t want to takeover right now but he’s not as innocent as a young nomadic male either. If he finds the cubs he’ll definitely kill them, if he happens to stumble across them, I can’t see him seeking the cubs out. Still enough of a threat to be taken seriously tho.

Chela has not checked on the cubs at all, according to this video, so she is definitely concerned enough about that to not lead him anywhere near them. Better to leave them on their own for a bit, than to take that chance. Still, he's not messing with the subs, but neither did the BDMs. I think the Nkuhumas are really good about looking after their young. Reply
