Uh, no.

The amount of damage females can inflict on males depend entirely of how much the males let them. There are some males that are more tolerant, for some strange reason, and allow lionesses to hurt them.

There are others who take no nonsense, and if lionesses are on the tough act, they end up injured or simply dead. It isn't a big deal.

Now, while I'm aware of the video of the southern pride "showing who was boss" to the limping Kruger male, it doesn't mean anything. 

He was avoiding coming to physical contact with them, and the lionesses didn't even push it, so the name of that video is a lot of clickbait.

Can a lioness get a swipe on a male's face or a bite in the nuts? Sure.

But they will not be dealing the kind of damage the Tsalala males had, and certainly will not be killing an adult male, no matter how many they are. This is why lions exist, after all. To protect the territory and the females and kids in it, otherwise lionesses would live in this feminist butch land where no male is needed, and we already know that is not the case.

UH, YES --- IT HAS HAPPENED---  FEMALES HAVE KILLED ADULT MALES TRYING TO TAKE THEIR TERRITORY----------THATS WHY THEY BECAME SOCIAL IN THE FIRST PLACE - TO BETTER PROTECT THEIR CUBS AND TERRITORIES.     ITS DOCUMENTED IN A BOOK CALLED "THE ART OF BEING A LION"------- A BUNCH OF FEMALES ATTACK A STRANGE GROWN UP ADULT MALE LION AND HE DIED FROM HIS INJURIES. DO YOU HONESTLY THINK ITS NEVER HAPPENED IN THE 3 MILLION YEARS LIONS HAVE BEEN AROUND.  FEMALES PROTECT THEIR HOME TERRITORY THEIR WHOLE LIVES--MALES COME AND GO --- Reply
