Where is this from?

Packer-
"We were able to record roars and broadcast them back to the lions,  when we played back the roars, 1 against 1 there is no response, 3 against 1 there was a response, 3 against 3 there was no response,"
"As long as they outnumbered the intruding lions roar by 2 they always responded"

Here is the doc where they do the count test again

Packer discusses at 21:20


So obviously an outnumbered male may approach at times, for example C-Boy vs the Killers, "but his partner Hildur was no where to be found That was C-Boy’s dilemma. With no partner other than Hildur, a handsome enough male who showed great eagerness to mate but little to fight, C-Boy confronted the Killers, in their aggressive ascendancy, virtually alone. Not even his resplendent black mane could neutralize three-against-one odds. Maybe by now he was already dead. If so, Rosengren and I realized, those minor battle injuries on the faces of the Killers might be the last evidence of C-Boy that anyone would ever see."
it is a much rarer occurrence. More often they need to outnumber the foe 3-1 before they do decide to confront, at least according to the reports from Packer. It's a natural response... live to fight another day is usually the desired outcome but exceptions do and will occur.
