I don't know if this has been suggested before but, I feel like it would be nice for lionesses who have left a pride to have a chance to come back in explore like chased lionesses.
This is becuase well, they've run out of a pride and into the wild. So it would make sense for them to be able to be found by another pride.
So the age range of them coming back in explore could be the same as chased ones. And it would be the same chance to reappear instead of being deleted as chased lionesses. And like everything would be the same as with chased girls besides how they ended up in explore.

If you don't support, please explain?

Edit: So yeah, the time for the original owner to reclaim it still stays but they can appear in explore after the 7 days run out and if the original owner didn't reclaim them.

So I'd imagine a lioness getting hungry or not having enough space, etc. and like running away to the edge of a territory (the 7 days we have to reclaim) and if the king doesn't come by asking her to come back within those days, she actually runs away where another player has a chance to claim.

To recap, it would be exactly like chased girls except the manner they end up in explore and after the reclaimable period for the original owner. Mutations, stats and heritage would be wiped.
