The best scenario: one of lionesses take cubs and try to leave the Western sector. But any other lions will try to kill them and one adult can't protect cubs. Mhangeni lost 18 month old sub this winter, btw.

The most realsitic scenario: PC males, NK male or some other lions/nomands will kill them by one by one. 
In the end only Sassy will stay.

Othawas are semi-nomads now, they will be keeping low profile and keep quiet. 

Even if they turn full nomadic, 3 females can raise 5 subs to adulthood, it has been done before, in Tsalala pride, 1 female raised 4 cubs to adulthood as nomads, and it happened 2 times. 

If 1 female can do it, 3 have much greater chance.

Lets wait and see what will happen, claiming that these subs will be 100% killed is quite a pesimistic view, because there is a chance they can survive. Those subs only need around half a year to be able to survive on their own, Othawa females could buy that time, even if that means leaving western sector and away from invading males. Reply
