The male lion then killed the cubs so the female lions would go in to heat. Nature is majestic.

Male: "I killed your son"

Female: "That's so fucking hot"

I once watched a youtube video where a guy with a super hot tinder profile would chat with random girls and he could say whatever vile shit and they would all be like: aww, but you're so hot tho.

I murdered your child.

So wanna hang out some time?

I ate him.

Raaawr ;)

Male: let put me my thorny penis into your vulva and bite into your neck so you can't move and I can keep my thong in for a while.

New evidence suggests that the old 'male lions just eat what the females provide' trope is inocrrect.

New evidence? This is over a decade old

"New" is a relative term.

On the timescale of lion evolution, this information literally just came to light.

It's new to ME. >:C

This doesn't answer the primary concern though. Do male lions have the same hunt participation rate after being in a pride? All this paper talks about is strategy. Everyone knows male lions hunt, they have to before they get a pride. But what about after? Do they hunt at the same rate? Or just stop altogether?

True "alpha" behavior

I wouldn't want to hunt anymore either if I survived the brutality of male lion adolescence

You can interpret this in very diffrent way

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe you can

Dude has to be a good dad for his breadwinners. Guy had some rough early years, cmon. (Seriously, young male lions usually go through some SHIT before they take over a pride)

Yep, they take care of their babies.

emasculating men via lion cub sexual dimorphism or decatulating male lion cubs via meme men for science is what we call a weird hobby

This guy feels emasculated by a meme about lions

Male Lions protect the territory while the female lions go grocery shopping
