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 friend of mine asked a guide who replied that S.Avoca and Kruger were the ones to beat up not only the blond Mantimahle, but K6 as well. I can't confirm it for sure but it seems like what indeed happened.
Currently if I get it right, both Mantimahle and Kruger/Avoca are mating/interacting with members of the NK pride.
Let's not forget that a while ago S.Avoca/Kruger chased 1/2 PCM from the north.
Could you imagine it, these 2 old guys, out of nowhere, winning the competition in the North? It'd be crazy but if they are confident enough to launch an attack on the Mantimhle right now, they could probably oust their enemies because blond Mantimahle is limping quite a bit, both his hindlimbs were badly beaten.
Kruger male is extremely confident and is very powerful, S.Avoca was never a pushover either, it shows us that when the individual lion is strong and confident, they don't need a long life bond to compete.
Again, we're talking about 12ish old lions, nomads that were together for only a few months, imagine if they were in their prime?
Duos like NK and Talamati, with some luck, could definitely challenge for territory if individually they had it in them.
