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.

Not exactly, i mean it depends, not all males are same in size and power.
Watch this if you think that any 2 young males can kill adult male if they want :
They are "tickling" the old guy, theres many example where young males attacked lone adult male and couldn't kill him.
Very young males (usually younger then 3.5/4 yrs, depends as i said, not all individuals are the same) dont have the power to harm adult male, thats the reason why in the first place they run from them in those years.
Lionesses are even weaker, lionesses are already dominated on kills by 2.5-3 yrs old young males.
Subadults dont have the bite power to harm adult males, also 1 bite from adult male can brake their bones/spine easily.
