Avoca Male Lions and Their Male Lineage

[Duco Ndona]

Having a few infertile lionesses around has its advantages as well.
They help hunting and keeping guard while they wont burden the pride with extra cubs to look after. 
Their constant need for mating helps preventing the resident males from leaving to seek new lionesses. Not to mention they are keeping invading males entertained while the pride can evacuate or the males can regroup for an attack. 

So I think their contribution is more a positive than a negative. . Reply
