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.
Too early to make such dramatic claim and this is not how lions usually breakaway. They do when they are forced to, they don't try to oust their mothers or breakaway for the sake of it, if they don't have anything forcing them to.
Original Kambulas themselves split from their mothers because they were forced, not because they wanted to, and they'd still try to reunite ( and do reunite successfully ) before finally breaking away for good.
Both generation of Kambulas had cubs together as a single pride with the same males under the same territory. Reason why K6 gets attacked is because she is rough with cubs, we've seen this multiple times. Also she has the scent of other males like BDM which probably doesn't help.
Big prides split for weeks or even months all the time, it's how they operate, they won't be able to feed everybody if they are all together at all times.
