There are instances when a lioness mates with a lion from outside the ruling pride. What happens when ruling coalition lions find out about these sneaked mating? Have there been any recorded or observed cases where the coalition lions have found out about these mating or what happens to litter born out of these mating, do coalition lions accept them?

Few years late, but just now i found about this thread. 

As for question, as far as i know, nothing happens, as ruling coalition also would mate with that females.

For example, infertile, 6th Kambula female in 2020/21 was under control of Bboys, but she mated with neighbouring N.Avoca coalition and OM aswell, Bboys where prob aware of that, but if she had cubs, Bboys would accept it as their, as in their eyes they think its their, because they also mated with her.
