There is never love between lions when it comes to share the food, it is normal. Also Nkuchuma male eventually feed on the kill as we could see on the video so it is not really that Tumbela dominated the kill, he was forced to share after all. 
I doubt those would treat him differently.
He is an ailing lion. An outsider that lacks the bond those boys have build from the day they were born. Joining a coalition, especially like this isnt just a matter of finding eachother and rubbing noses. He is going to have to prove he is an worthy addition.

Weren't there reports recently that they had drifted to Londolozi and got a bit too close to the N'Was? Or am I confusing reports? I thought I had read somewhere (not here) that the N'Was were going back from Londo where they had a run-in with the PCM's With Twitter down I can't find it now, so I may be very wrong.

I think it depends on the lions in the coalition, and the age. The Talamati boys are still quite young, so good for bonding with.
Those already bonded a long time ago. It at first probably wasnt much different.
@T_Ferguson I think "pretty severely" is an exaggeration, he's limping yes, but it doesn't seem to be that seriously, certainly not as bad as NK's from a few days ago and he is much better already.
@Mwk85 or it's just a coincidence after the PCM returned splitting NK and Tumbela. Darker-maned Talamati was also aggressive towards NK when they first met and when he joined with his brother they chased NK off. These Talamatis are 4yo and some say the lighter-maned one isn't the healthiest of lions. It'd be a long time before they can challenge for a territory and since these 2 are brothers it might be more difficult for NK to bond. With Tumbela, both are by themselves and have only themselves to bond with, both are in their prime and could oust any lone male as soon as they form a coalition and once they bond they'd also have shot at challenge duos. They can become dominant straight away and start raising cubs next year if they decide to leave the west and explore. Being less dominant doesn't matter here, NK was also less dominant than Nhenha and Styx, plus he probably still has a slight limp and is bigger than Tumbela, being less dominant now doesn't mean he'll always be, not to mention he held his own and fed in the kill, Tumbela couldn't keep him away.

Agreed! Doesn't look like Jr was do.onant over NK at all in this 1 situation as he didn't stop him from eating.
That may just be due to Skorro having his fill rather than Nym winning.

Dreadlocks make lion has recovered from the attack of the Southern Avoca male lions. Will be interesting to see how he rejoins back with the Nkulus.

I’m surprised they’ve not lured away more of the Nkuhuma ladies. Or taken over another pride. And maybe they have and I’m just not aware. Mohawk is still in excellent condition and thus still seems to have what it takes to be a formidable male to whom females would be attracted. So this could be why the Nkuhuma’s remain with him.

They where seen occasionaly with some Talamati and Kambula females. |
