And we shouldn't underestimate the Tumbellas either. If Limper is in shape it would still be 2 versus 2 and ultimately not the the odds the PCmales are looking for. Even if he isnt, they may still choose to go after the Mhangeni pride afteral. Which has no territorial males at all and has already shown to be open to mating with them.

They are deep in Tumbelas territory said by rangers, roaring and chasing dominant male, thats not a border conflict. 

Limper is not healthy, its far more likely he will just flee then try to fight, injured and unhealthy lions lack confidence and will avoid any serious fights, because he knows he is too weak to fight and will prob get killed. 

Limper's condition was prob the reason PC males decided on this move, lack of his presence on roars, patrol and scent markings was prob noticable. 

There was reported roar battle few nights ago, if Limper didnt participate, that was a go signal for PC males.

Hope we get new update today.

They were chasing him though. Its not like there are hard borders between territories the PC males have to stop at. So such chases last until they lose track of Skorro or no longer feel safe enough to continue in the others territory.
We have no footage or anything of the start of the conflict. 

I think we are also underestimating Limper. He is afteral also seen climbing trees. Which is not something a lion which already has leg problems would consider.

I always got a sense these pc males were menacing and aggressive, they certainly are looking to be that. Very interesting times ahead

Last year we were in the middle of the Avoca BBoy war and just a month away from the death of Othawa young male. While discussing wheter or not it was time to declare the Matimba coalition extinct. The Othawas were also giving birth of the first cubs after their takeover by the Tumbellas just a few months earlier. 

I dont think that things were more stable before. Reply
