In the current situation however, the males will likely abandon them in a few weeks and the pride might try to seek them out, bringing them in contact with other prides. Not to mention that there is still a chance that the PCmales attack them later.

So the girls are now more at risk than they were a few weeks earlier. 

Besides, if they are ready to mate and have no cubs of their own to defend, they have little to worry from rival males. Normally this is when a pride would seek out other males and encourage a takeover. 

Prides "cant" seek new males.

Prides have their territory where they hang, and which coalitions control that territory, they will mate with them, thats how it works (unless theres up and coming coalition in the area or near by, so they chose them instead of former coalition from who they already have offspring).

PCMs are only territorial males in the west atm, with no challengers.

So Othawas have no options, and its not like they (or any other pride) know that these males wil abandon or will not hang with them..

As I said, this is excellent news for Othawas (and as we saw, PCM already defended them against Mhangeni female, atm Othawas are 1st priority for PCMs in the West). Reply
