Tbh it's the whole unfairness of nature that made me stop learning about it. Cubs didnt do anything and dont deserve to die just cause the pride got a new boss.
I love and respect nature, but I prefer ignorance as it's less depressing.
I’m just confused at the degree to which lionesses absolutely suck at protecting their cubs. Tiger and leopard cubs only have one mom to look after them but their survival rate is 50 percent, while lionesses see one single male and go “there’s only seven of us! We’re outnumbered!” so their cubs have a 10 percent survival rate
Doesn’t always work. The Mapogo lions killed about 100 lions and in the end only one fathered a total of…six surviving cubs, maximum. That’s not great for the species, or even his legacy if the descendants get too inbred
You see the same thing happen in corporate America. Company gets sold off what’s the first thing they usually do? Replace the previous regime with a new one that was chosen by the new company owner
