Producing 2 or 3 new coalitions in the proces. They rarely do so, yes. But if no competition arives, thats the time they have to produce and protect offspring. 

Ultimately, each time a new coalition enters an area, another one has to leave. (With nomadic groups being in the process of doing so).
The one that leaves is typically the weaker ones. Which often the young and experienced are.

Not necessarily. Prides break up and breakaways might become vacant uncontested spot if there is enough space for a territory in betwen existing coalitions. Current Nkuhuma breakaways would be a good relatively recent example, Plain Camps didn't have to fight to tkae over them. Plus lone lionesses are often unclaimed/neglected by coalitions in the area and they tend to be outside the core pride (and thus coalitions as well to an extent) territories.

Another question would how long would coaliting "lucking" into such females would be content with having just them, so a conflict usually hapeens anyway just somewhat later and thus one colaition indeed has to make room for another. Excluding atypical cases like Solo being accepted as a coliation partner rather having to take over. Just wanting to say that number of prides in an rea is not fixed and constant as ell as the density of population and availability of space to be territorial over fluctuates as well. Reply
