Kambula/Ntsevu males

[Mapokser]

I think there's a compilation on the lion tales thread that shows that since mid 2015 the Bboys have always retreated from Majingi roars or were straight up chased off regardless of numbers or where they were.

This is interesting because the prime Majingis always lost or stalemated the younger more or less 5,5yo Selatis, 3 of them even lost to 2 Selatis. They always also lost to S.Matimba 2v2 and stalemated them 3v2.

Edit: I almost forgot but Majingi would also not take the Matshipiri 2v2.

However against the Bboys, even in old age, in Bboy territory or while outbumbered, Majingis always won easily.

The 2 occasions with old Majingis I was talking about:

The Birmingham males are looking great and in good shape. They are, however, not ready for the Majingi males. One good thing is that they are walking together more than what they used to. The Majingi males made yet another turn in our area as the Birmingham males started calling in Majingi territory. Only two of the Majingi males came into the area to take on three of the four Birmingham males. Two was enough, as it was the two big boys, Black Mane and Smudge. The Birmingham males got a very rude awakening as the roars of the two Majingi males echoed through the trees next to them. The Birmingham males wasted no time and made a hasty retreat, leaving their fresh buffalo kill. The Majingi males chased these young males for kilometres before they went back to claim the free meal.

The Birmingham males are looking great and very healthy. It looks like these males will only join forces if they know other males have entered their territory. One of the males are always with the Styx pride, while the other three also splits up to join other prides. This month two of the four males got a rude awakening when two of the Majingi males chased them out of their own territory. If all four Birmingham males were together, it would have been a different story against the two older Majingi males. Hopefully the Birmingham males have now realised the importance of strength in numbers.
