I've been talking about Ross males in other thread, so just to give a bit of "hope" here.

Ross males, after years of battling with other territorial males, become fully territorial only around 6 yrs of age, 8 yrs later, they are one of the most successful duos we know of.

Not saying Kambulas will have same path and success, they prob wont, as young Ross males where far more fierce and well bonded, but they still have plenty of time.

As for K6, i agree, he showed bravery, not only vs RRM, but also vs Kruger male, where he, and not K4, first charged at Kruger male, K4 was one who was following K6's lead in that encounter.

But currently he still looks to be too "respectful" towards his older brothers to take a lead, atleast until now.

But even that "leading" role doesnt mean much, if K5 and K3 just wander away again. Reply
