The Charleston Males
|
Morals of the story for us men.
Assume women are going to be violent to you whenever, and for whatever reason they come up with, and they are going to blame it on you anyway, because they can get away with it and because you know we are the violent ones... I have said it before, and I say it again. I don't understand why lions(and for that matter, men) put up with this BS, when it's clear they can end it with a single swat of their claws. Male leopards do not accept this kind of behaviour, just ask Xiluva 2005... 
One of the Charleston males was seen to be by himself in the late hours of yesterday afternoon just before a large electric storm reached the reserve.

Seen on safari at Sabi Sabi… The two Charleston males were found moving through the reserve late in the afternoon looking for the females. Mazino  *This image is copyright of its original author

About #226: you point the behaviour differences between social animals (lions, men) and solitary animals (leopard). I would come to believe that some of theses clashs are necessary to reinforce the bonds between the members of the pride. Why do the passionate couples exist ? Does the passion exist only for men ? No, it doesn't, it seems. Of course, it would be easy for the dominant male to swat the rebellion. But, by doing this, what would be the result ? Loneliness, return or trip back to the case "solitary animal"... I don't think the logic of the specy allows that. It would be counterproductive from a evolving point of view. Each belligerent is fully aware of what he brings for the pride "functioning". Otherwise he would shut up and it would not never be any warlike and angry exchanges.. Only an opinion.

Certainly, I see your point. But I didn't meant for the male to kill a lioness each time she attacks him, merely for him to put a stop to it, instead of holding back as we know this male is doing, because I don't think anyone here can argue the fact that Mazino is holding himself back against the lioness. Also, the comments of the lady photographer reminded me of the one sided look this kind of interactions get. I didn't write down each of the comments she put in the pics, but she often repeated this formula: - He was the one in a bad mood. - The lioness Mandleve was somewhat of a hero, a lioness "not to be mess with", as she put it. It was like Mazino was the bad guy merely for telling one kid to behave , and that even as we know how patient he always is with the cubs, while on the other hand the lioness was the brave, you go girl standing up to the bad guy, when in fact she was being just a bully. That's what I took from the whole exchange and the look she gave to it. And one final point. I loved the perplex look of Big Boy, the other lion. He was like: What the hell did I do wrong this time? 
So, if the mighty lion is standing alone on the African veldt, 20 miles from the nearest lioness, and he utters a sound - is he still wrong?
@Majingilane:
About #230: The lady photographer is perhaps not objective. I have often read some accounts relating violent clashs inside a pride of lions. Often they start with a quarrel between a female and a dominant male and after between several females and this dominant male. And often too, this last one seeming thinking that a solution isn't conceivable, out of frustration is going to vent with an/the other dominant male. Perhaps sometimes lionesses are able to be "bitchy females"... "The eternal feminity" !
