RE: Lion pictures and videos - Polar - 12-31-2015

I'm a relatively new poster here, and I've always been fascinated by lions as well (even though polar bears are my favorite mammalian carnivore and animal.) Their life is a lot like a tiger (cats DO indeed make "wars" at other cats: taking territory), and they are more directly social to each other than tigers. Lions stay together almost 24/7, while a male tiger might separate from a female tiger for days until he hunts a carcass and eats as a family. I'm not so sure about jaguars and leopards since those two are studied relatively less, but the two bigger pantherines are intriguing.
I know lions are the only social cats, thank you ! But NO, wild cats don't make war at other cats for taking territories, they are in rivalry, competition, but they don't make war as humans do... By saying that you're anthropomorphic. Don't attributes to animals some human characters, The "to make war" fact implies a psychology that the animals are unable to own. Don't speak about war when we are talking about animals. War implies enslavement, conscious extermination, territories destruction and so on...
I'm not that sure lions are the ONLY cats capable of displaying sociability, there's evidence from earlier threads including the "Tiger Predation" thread that tigers can be as well, although lions are social more often, and there's even evidence that some machairodont species (S.fatalis/populator, H.crenatidens, and Dinofelis) had complex social behavior, lived, hunted, and fought together as lion species do, although their groups were a bit smaller (usually ~ 5-10 cats big), yet the concept is relatively similar. Saying that 10 brown bears within an isolated landmark are the only social bears is an absurd statement when most posters here know that polar bears within greater distances can meet up at any seal hole, group together to hunt a seal, and fight each other over priority rights of the seal, the brown bears here simply have more social time, yet they are not the only ones capable of it.
Though I do agree that animals should not be given anthropomorphic attributes, think about this: most of our emotions and behaviors came from the same tree as animal emotions and behaviors. A resident tiger killing a foreign tiger is aware of his "conscious extermination," otherwise he'd not go for the kill, yet for enslavement and territory destruction I can see where you're coming from.

By far the best sound you can hear in the African bush in my opinion, turn the volume up and press play and you will understand what I mean! These are the two Lenyalo males in Madikwe Game Reserve.
Click on it, it's an amazing video.

I don't think I posted this so here it goes.

The Boss
This picture is of one of the new Marsh pride males in Ndutu, Tanzania last March. After I'd taken a few, he lifted his chin a little and looked straight down his nose to me. It's the best look he could have given and it's become one of my favourite lion portraits.
