Since nobody saw the fight all we know is that they met somewhere in Nhlangulenis territory. They fought, and then Makulu vacated the area and went back east to his brothers. Nhlanguleni on the other hand went back to the pride his still retained control over (until the 6 males ousted him shortly after). I guess my biggest question, is that why wasn't he ousted that night by Makulu if it was a clear win?

If in 2021 one night, Wide-Nose Ndzhenga travelled to Singita and fought Othawa Male for the Mhaneni Pride, and the end result was that Wide-Nose retreated back south, would anybody say the Othawa male lost?

By this logic Mr.T won the fight against the 4 Majingilane in the day KT died. He fought them and went back to the pride he still had control over, and the Majingilanes only attacked again days later.

Ousting a male and defeating him in battle are not necessarily the same thing. A lion who's defeated might return to his lionesses to wait and see if the invaders will launch an attack there too because he might be able to hold his territory with the female's help, this is very common, the Mlowathi had the Rollercoaster male defeated, he couldn't do anything to them, but they were repelled by the Styx females multiple times. Or another example, Notch and one of his sons chased Fang who fled to his females, and when the two Notches caught to them, they were repelled by the lionesses.

Makhulu defeated Nhlanguleni but there was no reason to attack the pride without resting first, especially when you have 5 other males to help.

I don't know the full account of this battle, but did the majingilane vacate the area after killing KT or remain in the eastern mapogos territory? 
From what I understand they stayed and fed on the body correct?

Yes. But the behavior of the Majingilanes is quite unusual, usually when a lion is badly injured and immobilized it is left alone until it dies, with Kinky Tail aka Shaka, there is something wrong, they are raging on the neck and muzzle even when he was now incapable of any reaction.

Exactly, the behavior of the Majingilanes suggest anger, revenge, retaliation, vengeance, cannibalism, etc., which is not an instinct behavior but more similar to feelings, as I discussed recently discussed in the N'waswitshaka males thread.
Therefore, not all animal behaviors could be considered only instinct. Reply
