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.

I know I am describing something/someone that is faint-hearted but I am just trying to be positive and giving credit where it is due. They won a lot of fights and have held on to the sabi for much longer due to these tactics.
I don't agree with your conclusion, too. The Selatis were brave lions, but the luck wasn't with them. The death of Selati #2 left them in an inferior position. The decisive advantage of the Majingilanes was their number and the fact that they stayed together almost all the time. For this reason I suppose they abandoned pride after pride. (Btw, how many fights they really won? It would be nice if someone who know them well will make a "hit list" in the dedicated thread.)
Dude, I was trying to be discrete. I was referring to the Manginjis there, not the selati. The selati's were brave lions but were taken out due to being ambushed by the Manginjis in a 4 vs 1 situation. And the death of one of the selati due to a buffalo accident was like the nail in the coffin. You still have to give it to the Manginjis, they never separate, always isolate and ambush other lions and never fight unless they have the upper hand.
