Disagree, Nkhuma male is starting to mature and continues to grow in size. His confidence is slowly increasing day by day. If both him and nhena were together when they faced the plains camp males, the story wouldn’t have been, “ they ran away”, the story would have have been “it was a huge clash between the plains camp and Birminghams”

NK and PCM are the same age... In fact @Tr1x24  said NK is older. So if he grows in confidence so does the PCM.

This comes down to 2 things IMO:

1- Nhenha might be in an amazing shape, but he's still a very old lion, if he was on his prime sure, he'd might have it on him to take on the impressive PCM 2v2, but it's plain clear he won't be doing it currently;

2- PCM are bigger, stronger, closer to each other, and more aggressive. I'd put my money on them even if Nhenha was younger, so as things stand right now it's not a surprise Nhenha isn't even willing to put up some resistance.

As mentioned already, Bboys were repeatedly chased back by the PCM in march; a couple of weeks ago they were chased again which made them turn nomadic and go as far as the KNP border; and new reports now seems to confirm that once again the PCM chased them in their own territory.

They returned in the same way Skorro Jr returned when he first became nomadic due to his rivals pressure: he took his first taste of it, thought life was tough and tried his luck thinking "I miss the females, maybe I'll go back and get some free food, luckily the enemy won't be there", but as soon as he was attacked again he went full nomadic.

Most would love to see the cool coalition of Nhenha and his son/nephew as dominant males again, but let's be honest, they lack the strength to do so, therefore, leaving now is in their best interest and honestly in the best interest of every other lion in the Western sector. If this drags, what'll see is the PCM killing the future Ximhungwe cubs unchallenged, and Bboys & PCM killing Othawas, until at some point the PCM eventually put an end to one of the Bboys, maybe the NK who's young and has an entire life ahead of him with many other young males around for him to potentially join, especially considering his experience in doing exactly that twice.

Incorrect. Of course the PCM males have a lot of confidence because they been together for all their lives and they haven’t had to go through challenges. In the case of the Nkhuma male, he has been through a lot. First losing his coalition partner the styx male, then being nomadic for quite a while. Believe it or not, but that takes a huge toll on the confidence level and also the inmense stress that he was going through contributed to the lack of growth and development of his body and mane. Now he’s in a more stable situation with his father, we can see how’s he’s slowly becoming confident and he’s growing in size. There is no need to jump into conclusions, but I do see in the future Nkhuma and nhena having and defending a pride or even prides. Reply
