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.

It's only been two weeks but I hope that won't be the last sighting we have of him. I wonder if he went south, on the same route the Mhangenis traverse on and the Othawa sub-adults took.

Dont think he will leave far from his brothers, he will prob stick near their territory.

There is a good chance they would just abandon the pride.
Or be around too little to offer proper protection.
With NYM the same story of Nguvu will repeat. It'll take years for him to be fully accepted only for him to be squeezed into a smaller and smaller territory since he's by himself and surrounded by bigger coalitions. Eventually he'll get killed or run, Mangenis practically wasted 3 years with Nguvu and they'll be risking the longevity of the pride itself at this point if they accept NYM.
Atleast with the Nw's other coalitions will think twice before trying any shenanigans, and they'll be moving toward central ss in a year or so anyway so they might as well take a 3rd pride and start that project early, considering there is no one else in a position to challenge them anyway. Three prides can definitely coexist within their territory, the southern lioness is a lone lioness pride anyway so technically they really would have two real prides to manage which is definitely doable.
Likely.
But its not about what we want to happen but what we think will. These lions are not drawing maps and making 5 year plans.
I dont see how the Nwas are going to be much of a deterrent though. Most of the time they will be away to the other pride.
No male lion is going to be impressed by a coalition they know isn't around to stop them.
Not sure where to post it, but 1 of S. Avocas was seen with apperantly Nkuhlu breakeaway pride, mating with 1 of the older females, while subadults (Mantimahle offspring) where resting near by:
