Lions of Sabi Sands

[Duco Ndona]

A big enough pride of 4 lionesses can outright kill a male lion. They probably need less to wound him to die later or when the target is still young an unexperienced like we saw with Sym.
The Mhangeni definitely have the numbers to pull it off. Probably with even more ease than Nym. But the stakes would have to be higher than just a squabble over a kill. 

I think the mysterious part is what role Nym had in the whole affair. 

The two should have been strong enough to take the pride if they had each others back. But ultimately, they didn't.
Perhaps Sym insisted in going after a cub and Nym was the wiser one to stay out of a bad fight. Or Nym just abandoned him when things got heated. 
It does not help his reputation that he also refused to form a coalition with Big Boy Mhangeni a few years prior. But then again, he may have had a good reason back then too. Reply
