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.

The Birmingham males did the exact same bloody thing this year, which only furthers my point.
They left two prides behind, didn't give much of a damn because what they were after was worth more for them.
They were never defeated by the Avoca young males either, so your point gets lost.

Wrong. That's a falsehood that observation of well known coalitions shows as such.
Not only lions do that, the Matimba males themselves "left their females" and also "didn't fight to the death", but they also use it as a clear stretegy when either things don't go their way or they realize they can get a better deal somewhere else.
