Being under territorial males is always better then them wanting to kill you.

Atleast this threat for Othawas is gone now.

Yes, anything is better than getting killed. On that, there is no dispute. Forcing motherhood on 3 and half year old lionesses is great if they could manage to take care of the cubs well enough. Seems its going in that direction. Let’s see, I could be wrong.

Agreed, my friend. Just like with Tsalala, these two were left to fend for themselves at a very young age (possibly 1.5 years old, and possibly the youngest I have ever heard of), and other than the loss of their third sister, they have done amazingly well. If there were ever two young lionesses who could see some cubs through, I'd expect it to be these two. They should even have an easier time of things, as well, given they are two, and Tsalala is a lone lioness. Reply

Except I highly doubt that the PC Males were a threat to the Othawas, and have not been for a long while.  If so, they would have actively sought them out and tried to kill them long ago.  They basically didn't pursue the lionesses very hard.  After all, they were not terribly far away and in their patrols, would have sensed 2 females in the area.  I think that once the males started to mate and be with the Xim. females, they focused on those 2 instead of eliminating all the Othawas.  The girls were getting older, plus were not a threat to them once the Tumbelas were no longer dominant, either.

Excellent news for Othawas.

Only time will tell.

Exactly what I am thinking.  This could paradoxically, spell trouble for them, because the females will try to often seek the males' protection, making them more likely to bump into neighboring prides the same males control.  Hence, what spelled absolute disaster for the small pride of the NK Breakaway lionesses.  This was a disaster for one of the Styx young females that was mating with the Gijima, too.  It's often the other lionesses under the same dominant male(s) that are the most threatening to another pride, rather than other coalitions.
