The male lion then killed the cubs so the female lions would go in to heat. Nature is majestic.

Male: "I killed your son"
Female: "That's so fucking hot"
I once watched a youtube video where a guy with a super hot tinder profile would chat with random girls and he could say whatever vile shit and they would all be like: aww, but you're so hot tho.
I murdered your child.
So wanna hang out some time?
I ate him.
Raaawr ;)
Literal IT Crowd episode plot
Male: let put me my thorny penis into your vulva and bite into your neck so you can't move and I can keep my thong in for a while.
Some people are into that

New evidence suggests that the old 'male lions just eat what the females provide' trope is inocrrect.
New evidence? This is over a decade old
"New" is a relative term.
On the timescale of lion evolution, this information literally just came to light.
It's new to ME. >:C
This doesn't answer the primary concern though. Do male lions have the same hunt participation rate after being in a pride? All this paper talks about is strategy. Everyone knows male lions hunt, they have to before they get a pride. But what about after? Do they hunt at the same rate? Or just stop altogether?
I wouldn't want to hunt anymore either if I survived the brutality of male lion adolescence
True "alpha" behavior
You can interpret this in very diffrent way
Maybe you can
Dude has to be a good dad for his breadwinners. Guy had some rough early years, cmon. (Seriously, young male lions usually go through some SHIT before they take over a pride)
Yep, they take care of their babies.
emasculating men via lion cub sexual dimorphism or decatulating male lion cubs via meme men for science is what we call a weird hobby
This guy feels emasculated by a meme about lions
Male Lions protect the territory while the female lions go grocery shopping
