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.

Yes and no, for nomadic males is not unusual, for territorial kinda is.

But we had examples of lone territorial males accepting their sons/young males from the pride as partners.

Mandevu did it with Nzuri recently, Mapoza did it with Xikukutsus.

I guess it depends on situation.

RR is aging lone male, so his "dominance and power grip" is not as high anymore as it was in his prime years.

Mohawk and Nukhuma male lions. Although it was different. Mohawk and young Nukhuma male lions would move aroud.

I thought the same thing, when he headbutted him. Al (guide who actually named RRM), might be right, RRM is keeping his son around for the added strength. I wish the one son, the one who was the biggest and apparently pops in sometimes, would join them as well, though that is highly unlikely. It would be a repeat of the Notch Coalition.

I forgot to mention...that 'second son' is not around....i recall Matt mentioning he comes around but I don't think that's ever been substantiated and I feel he was just going of Fans rumors and feelings.    I have yet to see a recorded sighting after June of 2024.    I remember vividly what his last sighting was....it was about two weeks after he was seen w several scars....as if maybe Daddy had a thing or two with him.

The son that's not around anymore is older than the "grumpy" face son that has been seen recently with females?
