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.

Big fight this morning at Naboisho conservancy. The four dominant males have attacked a young male lion who belongs to offbeats coalition. Eventually, they let him go but with some injuries although not fatal ones.

That young lion is a badass ... would love to see him in a dominant coalition one day.

Which brings to light an interesting aspect of lion-fight interaction. Lions tend to gang up on their target, but that target  has to fight multiple antagonists simultaneously.
That's an important dynamic for a young, up and coming, eventual pride leader. Its part of the overall "schooling" necessary to acquire that status.

Which is probably why lions fight with their back ends down, fighting like Leopards or Tigers is more suitable for a 1 v 1 encounter but being tangled up vs multiple assailants would obviously be a huge disadvantage.
