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.

I dont think thats the problem.
Who can NK beat in Sabi Sands with his partner (whoever it is) ?? Nobody.
It easy to "call out" NK, that he doesnt want to challenge and face territorial males or idk, but i dont think thats the case.
In area which NK traverse, its impposible for him to become territorial atm (and since Nhenha died), even with partner, yet alone (unless some shift happens with territorial males). He needs to beat PCMs, Ndhzengas or Gijimas, and thats not happening.
We can say, why he doesnt explore outside this area, well, this is his comfort area, he is traversing it since he become nomad and moved from natal area.
Its hard to expect that now at 8 yrs if age he will just abandon this area, and its not like he has map like us, to see where theres no territorial males or free prides to take.
If somehow theres a split in the Nkuhuma pride with the older females staying with PCM and the subs plus the adult female form a breakaway pride, maybe ( huge maybe ik) Khanya and NYM could take over that part of the pride ( very unlikely ik but theres the only option I see if nothing out of ordinary happends with the male lion dynamics)
Could the torchwood pride be an option perhaps?
