Lions of Sabi Sands

NK/Tumbela where roaring in the south aswell, and gain nothing.
Lions are opportunistic, but if PCMs decide to return, they are in trouble.

The other part of the equation is the poor Othawa girls and Ridge's subs rolling around that area. Tsalala is a concern as well, but she is almost a Leopard as it is, so she may be ok. 
Has there been any new info on that light-maned male that showed up in the West all of a sudden?
It may sound harsh. But I think at this point the PCmales are going to need to atleast kill Tumbella male for this to be resolved without further bloodshed.
He has been given warnings and opportunities enough to leave but he keeps returning to pose a significant risk to their prides. This is eerily echoing Nhenha at the moment and returning didnt end so well for him either.  (05-22-2024, 07:22 PM)Tr1x24 Wrote: NK/Tumbela where roaring in the south aswell, and gain nothing. My only question is what happens if only one PCM returns, like this last time. If these two are able to work together, as a team, it could spell trouble for them.

It was a hoax, the pictures going around, claiming to be this light maned male in the west were actually pictures of a lion from Nkomazi, as I was told by @Brahim 
The same thing will happen like the 3 mjejane males one of them was visiting their territory alone he heard new males in his territory he ran to get his brothers they returned and killed many of the young vurhami males even tho the plains camp male ran off both of them alone in the past it MIGHT be different this time so if only one plains camp male returns he’ll either try and run them out on his own or he go back to get his brother
The PCM have barely started taking over the NK pride and we are already seeing the danger that it is for the prides when their males leave even momentarily.
Tumbela and NK were trading roars even back in the south with the Nkhulus. They may lack the strength to face established coalitions but they won't hesitate to kill cubs if they have the chance. I doubt they'd roar if they were hearing the PCM roar in the few days they stayed in Savanna. Savanna has said they moved east again so hopefully Ximhungwes dodged them this time, but now is the Manghenis that have to dodge them at least until they reach Londolozi. But anyway interesting enough, Savanna talked about maybe giving their coalition a name. I think it's still too soon but it'll be cool to see them getting named in a few months.
@Duco Ndona this is only happening because the PCM aren't doing their job in the West, being further north. Tumbela and NK wouldn't dare to show territorial behavior in the West if the PCM were there.
NK and Tumbela are nomads so they'll normally traverse the territory of all other males in their area, it doesn't mean they will try anything in the West... As long as the PCM's presence in there is strong, of course. Nhenha had 2 females that accepted him and the PCM weren't fully dedicated to the West, spending most of their time in Singita and visiting Londolozi a lot too, reason why Nhenha insisted in returning and trying to claim the West despite not having any chances. We have not seen a similar behavior from the NK/Tumbela coalition yet, especially considering how Ximhungwes have cubs with PCM and would avoid them.
Does anyone know who, or where, the rumors and photos of this "light maned male in the west" began? This would be very good information to have.

If these two are able to work together, as a team, it could spell trouble for them. 1 PCM chased both Tumbela and NK already in the past, when NK and Tumbela linked for the first time. So unless their teamwork and confidence didnt improve this time, only 1 PCM could still scare them away.

Or possibly join with another female in similar situation (things around might change till she is past caring for this litter, who knows) like Ximhungwes did.

I did the same for one of Tino's posts, as well. |
