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.

Its not for nothing the amount of feeding related facial scarring is used as a tool to guess age.
Of course, such scrums happen at every meal, but not to such little cubs. I believe that is the point being made.
Even that isnt abnormal. In lion prides, the cubs eat last unless the adults feel comfortable sharing an abundance of food. In this case there was to little meat left so the adult took it.
The cubs can always drink milk later. Though its not unheard of them starving first if food really becomes an issue.
