N'waswitshaka males

Ah. I thought you were refering to his bad leg.
I dont see the reason to be so negative about Gore. Gore wasnt held back that much by his wound. Sure there was concerns about what would happen if it ever were ripped open in a fight. But he would still be a good assist in a fight. A fight with him present would still be a potential fight against three lions. Which lots of lions would shy away from.

He was doing just fine before that. Gore wasn't 100% at any point but he wasn't useless, he was with the other two a lot more often after Ubuso passed and was doing alright given his condition. Without those two being there, I seriously doubt if the Nw's could have taken the Kambula pride from the Bboys in a straight 2v2.

I would also add that even when the 4 of them roar together or even the 3 of them, the message sent to intruders was stronger compared to only 2 now.

I didn't say they catched a BDM alone I said they might do it in the futur who knows. Any lion can die if catch alone by multiple lions, what's this argument with Amahle ? He was just at the wrong place at the wrong time and he had just scratch.

The Ndhzenga underestimation IMO goes all the way back to the size discussions. Regardless of the relevance of size, people have in their subconscious the comments from rangers and the such saying Ndhzengas are small, hence they think they won't be formidable in an even 2v2 clash, if they weren't considered small I doubt anyone would underestimate a brotherly duo of prime males in a reserve where currently every dominant male is either alone or in a duo.
Like look at the comments above someone doubted they could have ousted Bboys 2v2 despite in theory the aging Bboys would have a disadvantage against prime and also dominant Ndhzengas. Again, this is just my take, I might be wrong.
Personally, I never underestimate these boys because the lion size is not the only factor to win a fight.
Just to clarify, my comment above has to do with the reduction on coalition members that obviously expose them to be defeated if/when facing another confident coalition that outnumbers them, which is the same issue facing any other dominant coalition when is outnumbered regardless the physical characteristics of each lion (size, weight, etc.).

That size thing was mainly pointed towards OE male, while people immidiately started saying that all Ndhzengas are small, while other 3 are average sized males. For example, i dont think Amahle is visiable/noticable smaller then any other males in Sabi Sands except PC males. And in the end size doesnt matter that much.

Nhenha and weak Tinyo in 2021 struggled against Mohawk and unhealthy/limping Blondie, i seriously doubt that Nhenha and Tinyo could do anything against prime Amahle and OE in late 2021, given Tinyo state at that time. If Ndhzengas didnt come, Nhenha and Tinyo would lose territory to Mohawk and Blondie in 2vs2 shortly after, as Tinyo was very weak. So yea, quite sure that Amahle and OE would beat them, and fairly easly i think.
@Tr1x24 A Londolozi ranger did say Amahle wasn't much smaller than Nhenha and PCM so there's that, but others who have seen them in person too have said all were small.
But anyway I agree that in a clash size probably won't be a big factor especially because they often don't even fight but rather chase each other.
Sean Zeederberg said that amahle is enormous when he saw Gore and him for the first time patrolling londolozi
