Ah! This reminds me of one of my favoriite animal behaviors I love to learn about; lions.
I learned from experts that there is a distinction between a lion pride versus a lion coalition;
A lion pride are lions of the same family, however, a lion coalition can be a group of lions that are somewhat related but it can consist of brothers, cousins, fathers, etc. and there can be somewhat of an overlap.
lions brothers may fight each other but they will always stick together until death, however, in a colatition, sometimes they may conflict and break up and form other bonds. However, even when they fight each other, they don't intend to kill each other.
