So it is just five of them now? First it was the oldest that went missing because he was injured? When was the sixth gone?

It might be true, but definitelly worth pointing out is that there is difference between being intimidated by a duo a lions and between being intimidted by a coalition of 4 or 5 members. BB are definitelly on more difficult arena.

So true, it's a big difference between being confronted by an even # coalitions to being pushed around by just a duo of coalitions.

Arent the bboys breakaway, the northern/southern BDM and bboys kambulas are basically the same age? Yet somehow the northern BDM carved out their pride and territory earlier than both the kambulas/bboys breakaway.

Situation like that reminds me of the two southern avocas beating out the three same age group majigilanes tsalalas. It's like the saying "when you have it, you have it."

Birmingham breakaways and Kambulas are pretty much all around the same age ye, I think BDMs are a year older, difference is Birmingham breakaways have been pressured by Vuyelas recently, not like it’s some random duo or whatever, they’re prolly the most powerful coalition in the area. Birmingham breakaways have had no issue tracking and beating up Hercules then mating with females of Giraffe Pride. If they were in an easier area like Manyeleti they’d already have been pride males for over a year. 

Kambulas have only been challenged by duos who they obviously largely outnumber, but never stick around. Even just yesterday they were seen in Umkumbe. Just makes me feel for Nkuhuma Pride, especially with atleast one heavily pregnant female. 

I agree with the part about some coalitions just ‘having it in them,’ look at current Nkuhuma boys. Left Sabi Sands and went straight into KNP, despite retuning back to Sabi Sands a few times they always went back to Rhino Post and never gave up trying to be dominant in that area. Chelas boy has been seen with a few cuts recently which aside from fighting for mating rights, means they’ve officially carved out their own territory.  Reply
