He is getting older and his prime is passing quickly. A lot of young males can will wandering for his territory. Being a lone dominant male in now onwards he really has a hard work to do on a way

Good thing with such a large territory is that he can pretty much give up big portion off it if the rival males invade him, and he will still have enough territory for himself..

His territory looks to be big as almost half a Sabi Sands or atleast as whole MalaMala, now compare that to idk Othawa male territory who has prob 1/4 territory as Big Boy, and still operates fine with that territory.. 

So Big Boy doesnt need to have such a big territory, and if the invaders came, he still has a option to "shrink" his territory..

But knowing Big Boy he will prob fight hehe..

Exactly. Big Boy is dominant over a big area as whole MalaMala (that If I not mistake is around 16.000 HA the area that Gowrie males dominantes). 
I agree with you in the majority of the words. If nomadic males comes and try to dominates a portion of Big Boy territory. 
Big Boy could give a part of his territory as the Mbiri males did with the Nharhu males. But being a lone dominant male controlling a vast area means a lot of hard work. If he patrols the half the  size of his territory that will give a few weeks of long patrols. During that long way he will can be found with another dominant males on the area.
he isn't anymore with Mazino. This means that he need to be submissive and not be involved on any kind of fight with another male lions. Reply
