Plains Camp Males

[Cath2020]

This might be the best for the sub of the OM.... If the females submit and/or go into heat, showing a lot of passivity, then the sub ought to be safer.  After all, the whole purpose of killing cubs/subs of other prides is to bring the females into heat and induce their receptivity.  The Southern Pride lioness showed a lot of willingness to mate and then quickly went into heat with her subs less than 2!  If she had chosen to run and not interact while they were taking over the territory, then they might have tried to eliminate her daughters as obstacles.  If the the PC males chose to kill the lone sub anyway, despite the willingness of the lionesses, it's just a shame because there is absolutely zero reason....but as we all know, some males really have a deep-rooted instinct to kill perceived competition in their aim to 'takeover.'  The fact that there are no males around the pride, too, might help a lot!  They do not have to chase away a protector who is obviously the sire, triggering the killing instinct towards his offspring.  

Let's see if their strategy to slowly accept the males by not running away pays off for the young lioness in the end.  Really hope this is the case!  It will be disappointing otherwise.... Reply
