There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

If they want to have own territorry and pride(s) then have to get into fight at least from time to time. It is just the way male lion world works. It is just unfortunate for them that they got cought separated as if they all four would be together they could easly chasse away two males.
Exactly, if the males want to became territorial, as in the past few months N'ws certaintly showed signs that they are starting to become territorial, they cant just avoid other males on their territory , they need to fight and chase them out of the territory... Thats how the things work..
I never mentioned that they should avoid other males ON their territory. If they go exploring outside of it, then that's another story. If it was on their territory, a united front would actually be easier now since they have no cubs or females nearby they are defending. They should be patrolling as close together as possible, but like I mentioned above, they COULD have gotten caught separated for explainable reasons. Who knows. Then again, they might not have felt the need to keep up as long as they were with one other lion, thus they felt secure enough. If they are spooked easily, they they could also scatter in different directions, making them easier targets.
