"Absolute chaos unfolded this morning in the Western Sabi Sand as the Plains Camp coalition made a statement.
They pursued the audio of the Birmingham & Nkuhuma male lions who were not expecting any visitors. The Plains Camp males ran deep into their territory and began scent marking and roaring, clearly sending a message to the Birmingham & Nkuhuma males. Another twist to the already chaotic lion dynamics in the West." IG Story from Leo Bosch  *This image is copyright of its original author
I guess they heard the Birminghams roar as they are dealing with Skorro and decided to send a message back.

Expected "clash" between the 2 neighbouring coalitions, first time since Nhenha/NK claimed western sector. This might only be establishing borders between the 2 parties and nothing more serious, testing the waters. PC males look very confident since they become territorial males amost 1 year ago, also look very impressive, but they are still fairly inexperienced in this kind of situations, for now they just brute force in and trying to intimidate their opponents, or catch them out off guard, which works against other prides and lone males. But Nhenha/NK, especially Nhenha is veteran warrior, i dont think he will "fall" on these "cheesy" attempts by young boys and try to fight them on their terms. If we know anything about Nhenha, we know he is not "reckless" or "hot headed" lion, he picks his fights. PC boys remind me of 2 Mbiri boys, they like to cause problems and they look fearless. 
Nothing nhenha hasn't seen before, im sure he'll be assessing the situation and come up with a suitable action plan ha. The pc boys certainly look to be in menacing form
Going to be interesting to see if anything unfolds from this
Interestingly they caught Nhenha but he managed to get away

Hmm. I wonder if Nym was with him. This may not be the best time for them to go solo.
In any case, this was quite the agressive move of them. 
There currently isnt much of an established border in the region.
The new border probably lies a lot further to the west as the Birminghams and Ximhungwes have plenty of room to expand there with Skorro and the Othawas gone. While Singita is getting quite crowded with smaller prides mostly under or flirting with the PCmales.

Interesting times ahead. Let's see what unfolds. 
While the boys are being boys……The Ximunghwe Pride was chilling away from the chaos
