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.
A male lions priorities are food, safety and mating. Being dominant over a territory will help them have that, but its not a goal on itself.
If a territory yields no results, he will just as easily abandon it, rather than keeping hold over it for the sake of being dominant over it. Similar, if a male can get what he wants by just wandering around as a nomad, he is not going to risk it all to become dominant when he already has a good thing going.
Nyms legacy may be non existing in the list of big bad conquers of coalitions. But for a lion he is not necessary living a bad life.
He may even sneak in some cubs if the local coalitions aren't keeping a good watch on their lionesses.
As for a lion joining the Nkuhuma boys.
I think they have enough numbers for now, so adding more lions would just increase the stress within that group. Which is not a good atmosphere to create new bonds in. I doubt Mohawk has any say in the matter. Just because he is older does not mean he is the one in control.
