For real, he must be most friendly and social lion we ever observed, surpassing even Solo male.

He is pretty much in good terms and friend with all nomadic males/coalitions in the area he travels, at the same time, depending in which area he is.

Quite interesting behavior.

While he is obviously an adult male lion, and possesses the behaviors that come along with that, I have always seen him as being less aggressive, almost passive/timid, than most any other lions I have seen, certainly when it comes to his male partners. Very reminiscent to how I always viewed Dark Mane after his injury, and to a lesser extend OM. This leads to him often being what we might view as being bullied. Nhenha smacked him up regularly, which lead to his now iconic eyelid. I know he gave back, as well, but it has always been my personal opinion that everything he did to Nhenha, he did in response to aggression directed at him, as Nhenha has never been viewed as a passive individual. I think this is one of the reasons he is never able to settle in with a partner, as soon as he feels they have become too aggressive with him, he simply moseys his way elsewhere, no hard feelings. This is also why I personally do not believe he was the one who caused SYM's fatal injuries, I tend to believe that the Mangheni are the likely culprits, as they had cubs at the time, and have always been seen as one of the more aggressive prides.

This is one of the biggest reasons I have always believed he and Big Boy were the absolute perfect match, they were both very much alike in this regard. Reply
