Well, older males dont wait their younger brothers to come to an age to start challenging territorial males, they do it and younger males either follow them or split. 
 
Also, younger males feel much more confident near bigger, older and confident brothers (remember 6 Vurhamis , some of them where younger then the rest, like Mbilu compared to Mo, and where not even 4 yrs old when they challenged Mjejanes). 

Young coalition of bigger numbers will usually start to challenge for territory sooner then smaller coalitions. 

That being said, i dont think that age difference between oldest (except Ndunha), prob Slit Nose, and youngest, HB, was more then half a year to few months apart. Reply
