Hmm, yea right, what every lion would do.... literally every lion.  Even those that accept sub-adults feeding nearby from other prides or wandering nomads; they all bite these males in the spine, paralyzing them for life, everyone....  

Got ya

I said "pretty much every lion" in that situation, yes, thats correct, lions in takeovers kill rival males offspring.

Completely different situations then this one. 


Watch some takeovers of Mapogos, Majingilanes, Matimbas, Selatis, BBoys etc. and name me 1 cub/subadult who those coalitions "accepted" and didnt kill/chase..

And dont tell me about N. Avocas with Nkuhumas and S. Matimbas with Othawas, those where not takeovers, because those prides where abandoned/without dominant males.. In those situation new males often accept those cubs/subadults..

"Pretty much all male lions do that what Baba Yao did.. Just his was filmed on camera..Baba Yao did nothing wrong in lion world..

That male wasnt his offspring, and he didn't want to run away like his other brothers, so Baba Yao did pretty much what every lion would in that situation.."













I guess you interpret your own thoughts and what you want to understand in your way despite what I wrote.  Where did I state that he did anything "wrong" as a lion?  Are you actually reading the posts or just going through the motions?  I wrote that the aggressive ones such as him, the ones that kill by paralyzing with a bite to the spine; it's particularly aggressive and the young lion wasn't provoking him.... but yes, it's a take-over and he didn't run.  (Plenty of violent take-overs also don't necessarily end up with a young lion having a severed spine with dragging of the hindquarters) There's a saying that those who rule by the sword are the first to most likely die by it.  We see this with other super aggressive lions that we all know about.  Some are so confident that they take to patrolling alone and pay the price.   Baba Yao also died shortly after this incident, underscoring again my point.  But, he lived by his rules and to the best of his ability as a lion driven by territorial instinct.   

Well, pretty much ALL lions means just what you wrote, all lions, with very few exceptions.  You also did not have to repeat what you wrote once again as it was clear the first time.
