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.

I see it, its from her "Karen McComb "
But Packer found similar outcomes, I have seen lone lions take on Multiple attackers and Lone tigers do the same.
I think its just a situational idea, more often than not, the lions are going to avoid conflict if outnumbered, if equal numbers they are going to assess, and if they outnumber the opponent they are going to confront.
That is what Packer found and I go off what he says....
My theory is this,
I think lions can not only count but tell the age of the intruder by their roar, I think most lions will confront when they think they have an age advantage over the intruder, like with human males, our voice deepens as we get older and I think the same is true for lions. If two lions are roaring and they have a deep booming roar, I think a lone lion will probably abandon ship unless he is a exceptional male.
Just a theory but I'm curious if any study has been done on that?
