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.

Pairing up with his son could, possibly add years to his reign, and help ensure that the new cubs have a better chance. Of course, there are no guarantees, especially in the lion's world, but it would surely increase RRM"s odds.
Yeah, and think about it, his son is over 5yo if I remember correctly, while Nzuri is barely 4.
So the only reason RR has a big disadvantage against them is because Mandevu chose to bond with Nzuri while RR followed the more natural path of ousting his son, though as the ranger had aaid previously and we've seen in the video, RR still tolerates him to some degree.
The Nharu pride has a history of helping RR in clashes, they are not a small pride, if RR was to bond with his son and play things smart, maybe even a strong duo like Mantimahle wouldn't find so easy to oust RR.
In one of the Virtual Safaris the ranger talked about Mantimahles constantly going deep into RR territory, and in another video RR was seen with injuries from fighting more than one male ( I'm not implying it was Mantimahle especially because it was speculated RR won ), so he ia outnumbered from all sides, having the help of an adult son could make a huge difference.
It's difficult to see RR raising the new cubs alone, considering his age.

In one of their (fairly) recent videos, Tintswalo said that RR has two sons still alive. An older one, indeed expelled from the pride, though he is still seen with the females from time to time, and a younger male, the lip scar one we still see with the pride. I believe that's the young male we've seen in the latest videos. At the time of the video they were quoted as being 4.5 and 2.5 years old, though I doubt the younger one is that much younger. But considering how recently his mane has started to develop, I doubt he's 5 years old.
