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.
They are not a weak coalition. Even with the current ailments they are likely the strongest coalition in Sabi Sands by far.
They however made some strategic errors recently that resulted in quite a beating. So they learned to stick together.. But that means they can cover less grounds which allows nomadic lions or other groups they normally hunt down more breathing space when they hang out in their territory. But that's off little problem as those know to keep away and its not like the Nwas arent guarding at all.
I don't think this is to blame for the loss of the cubs though as there is little reason for the lionesses to hide them from the Nwas. Most likely its just a combinations of the normal causes, with perhaps some hostile pride dynamics.
