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.

Did he fight NK male recently, it was 1vs1 opportunity? No he didn’t, they slept together lol.
Why would he then kill Nhenha? Because he has injured leg? lol. Injured leg doesnt guarantee that he would kill him.

If he were to seriously attack Nhenha in this condition he would quite easily finish him off and leave without injuries. He doesn't need to fight to the death, grapple him down and bite his back, neck or whatever, he just needs to kick his ass and leave.
Injured animal is most dangerous animal, if Nhenha is still in decent condition, and still has strenght to fight, theres very low chance that any male would kill him in a 1vs1 (even if he try and succeeds, would sustain hard injuries back, Nhenha still has teeth and both claws, and its not 2vs1 so 1 male can lock him so he cant do anything, Nhenha can bite and scratch just as him) because he has injured 1 back leg.
But if Nhenha is in bad condition, barely walking and on death door, ofc he is easy pray, but at that point, rival make would not even bother to kill him, just like Nhenha/NK did with Limper.
I didn't say he will attack Nhenha if they met, I said it'd be in his best interest to do so, but if he realizes this or not I'm not sure, I said earlier that I think it's likely he'd ignore Nhenha. But with NK it isn't exactly the same scenario, he was a healthy prime male, do you think if it was a hyena or leopard Skorro Jr wouldn't have charged? It's a natural instinct for a lion to get rid of competition, why do you think Nhenha and NK killed the third Othawa subadult? Surely it wasn't to force any females to estrus.
