Nkuhuma Pride

[Tr1x24]

I just want to "debunk" the myth that ill or injured lions are "not allowed" to eat by other members of pride or males, thats wrong interpretation. 

Lions "dinner manners" is all about competition and strenght. Strongest members, usually males, are on the top, then come females and young males, then weakest members like subs, cubs and injured/ill lions, who need to fight their way to get some share. 

If the size of the meal is too small and group too big, those on the bottom will be left with leftovers or nothing. 

Also on many occasions males claim the kill completley, not allowing any other members to feed until they are full. 

So i dont believe, that specificaly ill or injured lions are not allowed to feed, no, they are just too weak to compete.

I remember when Nsuku was on his death doors, there was a video where he was so weak that even 1 year old cubs outmuscle him on a kill, let alone adult females and males. Reply
