I am also worried about what this means for the Othawa's and Ridge's subs.

Technically PCMs possibly abandoning part of the West is good for the Othawas as it’s likely Skorro and Nkuhuma could settle down - neither should be a threat to the lionesses if they pursue this current coalition. Obviously wouldn’t be ideal when they come into estrus and have a need to mate. As for Nkuhuma breakaways, they are in a very tough situation that I don’t think gets affected by any of the male lion dynamics in the area. Would love to see the female join the Othawas and the male go searching for his own partners too but as of right now them being alive and in good condition, especially given their age and their nomadic status, that’s enough. 

The Kambula lioness has already been in estrus and it’s clear the males would willingly mate with her, she’s the one holding back. As for there being a showdown, I agree, someone coalition / male lion is gonna take a heavy beating at some point being in close proximity to so many others. I actually have a feeling BDMs might go back into Manyeleti as we on this topic.

The Kambula sister has already been in estrus? I have not heard that before, and, honest question, how would anyone know?

Only a prediction based on the different type of behaviour the males had towards her at some points, I believe there was one video she was lying down and one of the brothers came to check on her in a way most do before getting ready to mate. She just rolled onto her back denying his access. There were also reports of a guide saying she was beginning to receive ‘added interest’ from her brothers and hinted they may want to mate with her.

Ah, ok, thanks, I was unaware of those interactions. Reply
