The PCmales proprobably wont have to react to anything.
If the BDMs dont have the confidence, they wiil probably just avoid them and become another pest in the region.
If they have the confidence for take overs. They are more likely to go after the Ximhungwes, Talamatis or whichever pride roams western western sector these days.
Personally i hope for the latter. The area could use a stronger coalition to weed out the weaker ones causing trouble now and being roughly equal in strength may avoid conflicts with the PCmales later
From her perspective, Western sector looks like a perfect place for a nomad. Afteral there is nobody doing much roaring or scent marking. So it seems like there are no mayor rival prides or dominant coalitions that could threaten her.
In reality, the reason why nobody is doing that is because the area is so crowded with smaller nomadic groups of lions that everybody is keeping their head low to avoid being seen themselves.

i agree if the blackdam males had there other 4 brother they can maintain peace and safety for prides in this area like the bringhams when they took over sabi sands

She is walking right into a hornets nest.
I don't think she's unaware of what's been happening in the western sector. She most likely knows exactly who is in the western block as she has been hearing those familiar roars for months around that area. You can say it's a risky move but it's a risk worth taking from her aspect probably.

Dont think western sector is that dangerous to her, its mostly nomads there who are not as hostile towards other nomads as territorial lions are.
Its far more dangerous being close to big territorial pride and coalition like Kambulas and Ndhzengas.

I didn't favour them, i said we dont know in which "state" these guys are atm, are they ready to challenge for territory or not.
4 Kambula and 2 Talamati young males are around their age, for them we know that they didnt showcase any behavior for challenging territory so far.
Bigger coalitions usually get confident sooner, plus, these guys have adult, experienced male with them.

Could be the deciding factor if they challenge, indeed. He won't be around for the duration of the entire coalition but he won't need to be. One experienced and adult male deciding to act territorial with the backing of these guys is a force indeed, if they keep their heads in a confrontation, realise their strength and stay together. I'd like that tbh; after years of relative stability Sabi Sands is a hodgepodge of coalitions that has become a more dangerous place to raise cubs to adulthood.
