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.

PC boys look impressive and everything but I don't like these guys. They don't waste time to kill females.

You shouldn't really dislike any lions, you should just love the unpredictable and fascinating behaviour of these wild beasts

You're right, it is nature anyways and I enjoy watching them. 
Let me rephrase what I said above, if there is a fight between PC boys and any other coalition in the area, I will support the other coalition.

Agreed. She always had so much personality. Very curious girl, which unfortunately may have been what got her killed. Such a shame.

Aside from the Nwaswitshaka males (who still have numerical superiority on their side) and the 3 new males (who would also have numerical superiority should they reunite), the PC males are a terrible matchup for the remaining coalitions in SS. Most male coalitions in SS are unbalanced in terms of collective vigor. One male is injured/injury-prone while the other male is ok (Tumbelas/N.Avocas). Nhenha and the Nkhuma male are an exception because despite his age, Nhenha is still in fantastic shape and the Nkuhuma male, despite the stresses and dangers of nomadic life, is no slouch either.

Meanwhile, both PC males are in great shape and entering their prime years. The only other coalition in the region that I can think of that is as evenly distributed in strength as they are would be the S. Avoca males.

I agree with you.
However, all fight analysis at this moment is  a probability of success on paper, except maybe for the Tumbelas and N. Avocas that are in clear disadvantage. 
For the other coalitions, a fight has to occur in order to declare a winner.

They are too aggressive for me.   I DON'T like them either, pretty or not.  I made up my mind two lionesses ago.

Yes. It is very sad, but that’s nature for you.
