The Birmingham Males

Perhaps. If they stopped running at the first hint a larger coalition is near. Otherwise I am not seeing them settling down anywhere close to the PCmales or Nwaswitshakas.
And that rules out half of the reserve.  
“A Lion that never seizes to give up or accept defeat.
The Birmingham Male has returned once again to the Western sector despite knowing what lies in wait here.” 
Life on the road and Nhenha still seems to Defying the ravages of age! Hes Looking brilliant, great watching his journey

Their cubs were most likely just killed from the Ximhungwe Lioness, and he's only getting older. Maybe Nym should go his own separate way and find another territory with a younger lion. His partner will not follow him and insists on going back to the Western sector. This could end badly for the coalition. 
Well that's how it goes sometimes. Some Lions, like a lot of humans, refuse to settle for less than what they really want.
Nhenha is a legend. Such an interesting creature, it's a pleasure following his journey. It's not over yet. (11-25-2022, 11:34 PM)Cath2020 Wrote: This is not good.

Well, when you think about it. It's not like the older male has anything to lose.... He's already been a pride male several times over, sired a bunch of offspring, and almost completed his lifecycle as a successful lion. It's Nym I'm more worried about. He's not yet there and might not get there anytime soon with such a partner. We'll see. I'd like to stay positive for the young male and hope he can find his way in the Wild West of Sabi Sands, since that is where he seems to want to stay...for now.

Look how much hes developed with nhenha guiding him too. There is no master plan, just got to go with the flow and watch their story unfold 
This roar can never be surpassed, especially from a legendary King like the last Birmingham male. King Nhenha.
