But since this behavior so clearly happens, why couldn't these larger prides with large numbers of cubs do the same thing to keep their males around? We see it happen with infertile lioness' as well.

"false estrus" is more of a speculation then verifiable fact. We dont know if these females are "pretending" or not.

I personally dont think that "false estrus" exist, because males thru flehmen grimace do know if female is in estrus or not, thru their urine/scent.. Females cant fake that.

I think "false estrus" is another myth.. 

If its not, as you said, then every females should be able to fake it, which they obiviously dont.. Reply
