I don't think that's a given. If they are acting as a group, seeing one run will definitely affect the others. There's usually a lot of chaos and nobody knows who are they up against and how many, so as soon one leaves, the rest think he knows something we don't and follow suit. It's like mob mentality, there have been studies done on this stuff. In those situations, whoever in the group makes the first decisive move kinda becomes the leader of the group. If one charges in, the others will follow even if they don't have all the information. Again, It's he saw something or knows something we don't so act now ask questions later.

Its more the other way around. If enough males stay, mob mentality takes over and they fight regardless of what one fleeing member does. If the mayority flees, their resolution falls apart and they all scatter.
 
Seeing only two are willing to fight. Its odd to single out the lioness when also the other males are at fault.

Lions are social animals and the group hasnt matured yet. So she doesnt have the confidence yet to head out on her own. Reply
