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.

What exactly makes a coalition like the majingilane more successfull than others, are they in any way "smarter" than other coalitions are their actions taken with a porpuse or planning involved or are they just a manisfestation of their animal instincts ?
Are their instincts better than the lions from other coalitions or it´s all just pure chance and a bunch of fortunate situations.
We know the lifespan of a lion so we realize that they are old do they realize the same ?
The majingilane are lucky, the never had a serous competition but they never get involved in fights with 2 or more lions, in those cases they run away laving their Prides and cubs behind.
It has happened a few times.
Now they are back in Londolozi in a routine trip since the matimbas left (after the fight with the matshapiri males) the area is with no male lions.
The Birmingham boys are very passive, no interest to explore other areas.
The Matshapiri now after the injury of one of them are not anymore a threat.
The Avoca males are still young but with increasing presence. I doubt the Majingilane will stay to fight both of them.
and there are some young lions who are still not able to takeover Prides.
the situation is good because any big change will result in many dead cubs
god damn man, you got offend two lions coalitions in only one time! and its not true that the majingilanes can not faced 2 lions! read that last londolozi article and you could see that the majingilanes want to fight against the 2 avocas. the majingilanes have no fault if the avocas not wanted this fight and run away from them! this kind of thing happened many times along the majingilanes life! some months ago only two majingilanes chased 3 or 4 bboys from a kill at elephant plains! and the bboys are satisfied and busy with the styx, torchwoods and nkuhumas and they took over the matimbas land with only 3 years old. they are doing well althoug they did not kill any male lion yet.
