@Majingilane :

Definitely I think the male lions are able to be good fathers by allowing the cubs to eat some preys with them. As concerns this fact too, the vision we could have about them has come a long way. I remember that, for a long time, we thought the male lions lost interest in the cubs. This was the matter solely of the lionesses. We always contrasted social organisation of the lions pride with the social organisation of the hyenas pride or african wild dogs pride, by focusing the much more sociable canids' and hyenas' aspect. Of course it would be certainly more secure to be bred among the hyenas or african wild dogs cubs (adults of the pride regurgitating the food...), but lion cubs are marked out for becoming some apex predators.

It is just my opinion... Reply
