I wonder when the subadult males (8 right?) will be ousted. Age wise it may not be the time yet but they are developing quick, looking at their manes.

 And now also with the Nstevu pride incident vs one Kambula subadult last week, and with new Kambula cubs recently born, their time may come sooner than we think. 

I wonder if the fact that they are with so many young males potentially influences the time at which they will get ousted by their fathers. I can imagine fathers may see them as more of a 'threat' (mating wise or general aggressiveness that they do not tolerate etc) if the young males are with a large group, like in the case of the Kambula pride, compared to the situation where there is just a single young male in a pride.
