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.
The chance of having your genetic legacy passed on is far larger with female cubs than male ones actually.
Afterall. If this litter makes it to adulthood, chances are quite large the girls make it to an old age and have plenty of cubs themselves. Even if some of the lionesses are weaker they have the aid of the pride and future coalitions.
Making sure some bad genes are preserved aswell
The lone male cub... Even if he had brothers its going to be a lot of danger before he gets to even mate. If we are to to entertain the idea of bad genes to the severity of what we saw with the Tumbellas. They are most certainly doomed and it wont spread further.
