There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Lionesses do enter fights if their cubs are at stake. They are hardly damsels in distress that just watch while the men do all the work.
The simple truth is. What happened happened. How unlikely it may be. Rare events happen very commonly.
You're putting your own rules on them lol. The truth is that females are definitely capable of killing a male lion if 5 or 6 works together, just like a big Hyena clan is capable so why don't they? Why do they fear them?
Number 1 is a male lion is fully capable of killing at least 1 of them so all are scared. A single bite from a male lion could cripple a Lioness or Hyena.
Number 2, there is hierarchy and the male lion is at the top. You said females won't stand by and let men fight for them. Yes, they will, just as easily as a male will let a Lioness hunt and then steal the meal for himself. This is the order of nature. Why does a Buffalo run from a lion? It makes no sense if they are 100 buffalo with huge horns but its the law of nature. They're the prey and the lions are the predator.
