In my opinion, something seemed to have changed after they lost OM, who I do not believe was ever known as an overly aggressive male so that pairing always seemed like a gathering of opposites to me. But, after his passing, they were actually driven off of one of their own kills by three young female subs. Sassy was with the young Othawas at that time as well, but she remained back in the bushes, while the young subs just walked in and started eating. That situation has been discussed here, quite a bit, with the predominant opinion being that the Manghenis simply were unaware that the Tumbelas were no longer with the Othawas, and they had cubs to worry about, so they simply chose to be safe and retreated from the kill, giving it to the Othawas. But it has always stuck with me, as given the history of the Manghenis, their history of being very aggressive, it seemed very strange. Since then, we have only seen glimpses of their previous levels of aggression. Reply
