You are coming from conclusion that N'was will avoid Birmingham's territory and stay in just Londolozi which I believe is not even an option. For me there are 3 scenarios of what will N'was decide to do:

1. Give up on Londolozi and Mala Mala and return south. Everythink would be how it used to be so far.
2. N'was will try to remain in control over Sabi Sabi and will shift their territory to the north, only to the certain extend. They will take over southern Londolozi and central Mala Mala. Possibly even a bit more - central Londolozi and north-central Mala Mala. Birmingham males will be shifty driven out as well as young Kambula males. Kambula cubs will be killed. On the long run however I believe the change would be great for Kambula pride - it could resault in the pride reuniting over time and they wouldn't have competition for the food source in the form of Birmingham males and young Kambula males and would be ruled by much stronger and younger coalition - a perfect spot from which they can raise next generation.
3. N'was will shift heavly their territory further north. Beside what I have mentioned in point 2 they would push Avocas further north and out of Londolozi and Mala Mala. In such sace it would be intresting to see how will develop dynamic between Nkuchuma, Talamati and Imbali pride. Nkuchumas if they decide to move further away from N'was and return to Djuma they will bump into Talamati pride. Then Talamati pride may chosse to fight for that land or they can also shift back further north, but then they will bump into Imbali pride...

I dont see any reason why BDM's would specifically target Ross males and Birmingham prides over other prides and coalitions in the area, like Avocas, Giraffes and even Monwanas (Xikukutsus where not seen with them and Mapoza for quite some time, lone Mapoza can be easy target). 

That reason is Xikukutsu/Mapoza coalition. I do not think they will choose to target that coalition at their first takeover attempt, particulary if they have easier option close by. It is not an impossible scenario by any means tho I see as more likely they will target Ross males.

As far as we know, they might not be contesting for territory for another half a year to a year, so this speculation about BDM's takeovers are way too early..

No point of discussion this until BDM's actually show signs that they are "ready"..

Two of them were roaring all over Tintswalo and they put a beating to bigger and younger than a Ross males Birmingham male. They are already showing signs they are ready and with other Black Dam males joining them they will be yet much stronger (as a coalition) and more confident having more force to back them up. They can take their time if they want to, but I wouldn't be suprised at all if they sticke their claim for territory very soon.

Which could end with guest and members of WildFact losing interest in the forum. The aim of WildFact is provide good sources and information. Often, long debates may make lost a bit of that.

The forum IS in big part about discusions. If someone wants updates only he can like some facebook page or group (where there are no discusions) or he can just scroll through those discusions on wildfact. I do not see any problem with either. NO one here is forced to read or to participate in those discusions. Reply
