That would happen with any lion.

They're still three themselves, and being older makes them the more experienced ones, and they're also in top physical shape.

Like this, any new coalition will need 4 males at least. But it's also a matter of waiting it out.

Yes, it would. Even a male lion in his prime(6-8) would struggle against 2 young males(4-5), a perfect example would be the video of the two Birminghams fighting one of the Selatis. A 12 year old lion has a much less chance of fending off 2 young males. That makes them easy targets. If one of the Majingalanes goes out this way, the remaining two would have their hands full with the Birmingham and the Matshpiri males.

They have experience and are very good at strategically retreating and attacking when they have the upper hand, but that can only get you so far. If a young coalition smells blood and comes in all guns blazing, you have no option but to confront them. And I only see that confrontation going one way because of their age. Who knows. Reply
