I am not saying Sumatra/Hercules for sure did not kill Monwana male, but Junior Nkuchuma example shows that in a bush many thinks can happen, some even very unexpectable. Monwana male just as easly could have been taken out by buffalo as by Sumatra/Hercules.

Yea, but just by statistics, more males get killed of by their competition then in hunting accidents, we can prob count on our fingers how many dominant/prime males died in hunting accidents in areas we follow (just in Sabi Sands in past 10 yrs, what, Selati #2?  I cant remember any other) or the way like Nkuhuma Junior died. Yes some males just disapeare so we dont know what happened, but again, just by statistics, more of those missing males where prob killed by rival males then by buffalos or something. 

So based of that statistic point of view i said its more likely he got killed by rival males then in hunting or some other accident, but yea, its possible, just smaller chance. Reply
