But if we look at the prides in Sabi Sands right now, there are some that are very poorly defended. 


They should have no issue taking over groups like the Othawas, Ridgenoses group or Tsalala. Perhaps even Nkuhumas or Mangheni, depending on what the PCmales decide to do.

RN group? These coalitions could takeover their former territory but taking over that ‘group’ now, and that’s assuming u mean how, is out of the question. No coalition gains anything from chasing the subadult male away and being left with a female who’s still months away from being able to conceive. 

This has unironically led me to a thought about that same female too, assuming PCMs keep hold of their territory up until the NK breakaway female can start establishing her own territory, I wonder how PCMs treat her. She’d be an immediate threat to any of their cubs born in other prides and wouldn’t be seen as a mating opportunity either. If we look at how big their territory is right now, they’d have a hard time sending her far out of the West.

I agree with the first statement 100%. New males would be more likely to kill them both.

As for the Nkuhuma breakaway girl, her fathers probably wouldn't have any issues mating with her, males tend to not care so much about mating with family members. A lioness in oestrus is a lioness in oestrus. But she might not be so receptive, meaning when that time came she'd be more likely to leave the area. Provided the PC males are still dominant when that time comes. Reply
