Kambula/Ntsevu males

[NLAL11]

I feel bad for K4 that his brothers seemingly have just abandoned him to his injuries. In my opinion, this is a little indicative of their lack of bonds, despite three of them being littermates. It's possibly a major factor in their lack of 'strength', or inability to compete with other, smaller coalitions. As individually they're all impressive males.

I've already said that they'd be a lot weaker without K4, but I'll add now that their lack of support for each other will also be a reason why, if K4 doesn't pull through, their chances of becoming successfully territorial will be greatly diminished. If they really try to take on the Mantimahtle males for the Nkuhuma pride, which with them all roaring together seems more and more likely, I see another of the boys getting caught by the two of them, and maybe suffering a swifter fate than K4. But I hope I'm wrong. Reply
