Stayed and faced SN? They all run immediately ( 4:19 https://youtu.be/v2pBauP7YDM ) besides one who was submissive for a few seconds before running too, which proves my point, they respect and fear dominant males until they build enough confidence and experience. But it's clear that if they were to fight, the old SN would stand no chance.

Then if you agree 2 females can beat and chase a dominant male, there's no reason 2 bigger nomads couldn't. They don't need to kill their foe, only chase him and kill their cubs.

Btw, male coalitions usually range from 2-5 males, and we know of stupidly big coalitions with much more males, but how many adult lionesses you think there's in an average pride? The Mlowathi ( even with help of other Mapogos sometimes ) spent more than 1 year trying to conquer the Styx Pride, they had 5-6 adult lionesses at the time, which proved to be a huge challenge for them.

If you have 2 males and 4 adult lionesses, obviously they won't be able to protect the cubs, and I doubt they usually outnumber the males 3-1, plus there are plenty of other reasons, like if some are hunting and others babysitting, the coalition can kill the cubs at that moment, and so on.

So the Avoca male was holding back? Come on man. It was a brutal attack, even the ranger describes as such: 1:24 https://youtu.be/qQy3pEwxSqs

Just like the ranger says, she escaped because he counter-attacked viciously, she bit his pawn and face, he felt pain and stopped the attack, allowing her to escape. Lions aren't made of steel.

Hyenas are similar in that regard of respect for males with full manes, even 10 hyenas or more will usually run when a lion charges, but in an actual fight, the lion wouldn't be able to do anything to that many hyenas, but they fear and respect males too much.

Yes they are afraid of injuries, and you're right that there's a reason they generally challenge males when they reach 4yo because the risks of injuries are much smaller, they are now fully-grown and will have an easier fight.

Anyway we're too off-topic. Reply
