Well, in these clashes over carcasses, advantage has the party who is ambushing, as lions who are ambushed are suprised and dont exactly know with who, or with how many lions they are dealing with.

So natural instinct in that moment is to flee.

Theres numerous examples where weaker and lions in less numbers chased stronger and larger group purley based of "ambush" factor.

For example how 2 Othawa sub females ambushed 5 Mhangeni adult females, and give chase, only to end up being chased themselves when Mhangenis realised with who they where dealing it.

Another point in these carcass clashes, is that lions who have the kill and are feeding on it, already eaten some of it, they are not as hungry as attacking party, meaning they have less reason to fight and risk injury/death and just move on.

Based of this 2 factors, in most cases, we are hearing more often that somebody overtakes carcass from someone, than that someone sucessfully defended the carcass, more often they just join.

Still impressive by Ndhzengas. Reply
