the male cubs, upon adolescence, are driven out of the pride... similar to how simba was driven out of the pride in the lion king. except instead of being bamboozled by their uncle into thinking they murdered their father, they are just collectively driven out of the pride by both the dominant male(s) and his/their female cohorts.

similarly to simba, the adolescent males then spend a period of time out in the world without a pride. except instead of befriending a pig and a prairie dog, they typically band into groups of brothers that hunt together and grow strong and learn to fight, until eventually they either disband and each go seek their own pride to conquer or in some cases as mentioned two brothers might band together to conquer a pride.

i guess mufasa and scar had such an arrangement. perhaps mufasa would've been wiser to try to take the pride by himself. but that's all water under the bridge. anyway, the way they finally conquer their own pride is by finding one where an aging male(s) exists and driving them off.

of course, upon running off said aging male and thus obtaining his bitches, they immediately slaughter all of the cubs in the pride.

why? because those aint my kids bitch. plus the females wont mate when they have a current batch of cubs to raise. thus infanticide is standard lion procedure.

so just remember next time you look at one of these:

trigger warning: video contains graphic evidence of lion infanticide

Music is not my hobby, it is my life, it is what I do, it's what I am. If I stop doing it, I have no reason to live, my life would have simply stopped.

My hobby is penguins. I love penguins--all penguins really but Humboldt Penguins in particular. I can name the vast majority of them right off. Some people watch birds, I watch penguins. I don't collect them (although I did have a pet Emperor Penguin once). Penguins need to be free or they can't do much for our ecosystem--which largely depends on them.

The penguin is clearly something that crawled out of the ocean and only changed enough to stay on land but if they chose to go back to the ocean, they could. I don't think a more successful creature exists.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l9...th-2013-12.jpg
Starting about 350 minutes ago, this sea creature that left the ocean became a penguin. We have penguins preserved in amber from that long ago. Amazingly, it has changed not a wit in all that time. 100 million year old bee fossils show us that bees were wasps at once time. Roaches have evolved differently for all kinds of environments. But penguins--no matter that the environment (and they live in all of them), they are no different then they were when they made their first appearance on the planet.

Their hard shells became a beak, their spiny points became wings, their slime-producing organs began producing a new improved slime called shit. Like all, ocean creatures, they display high intelligence.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l9...r14-158198.jpg
Emperors, Rockhoppers, Humboldt and Gentoo Penguins are called Penguins. These are a more primitive type of Penguins. They have vertical rather than diagonal beaks, are generally feathery, Rockhoppers have 2 eyes rather than 8. Penguins produce chocolate biscuits but don't put the wrappers on. They have two large protruding feet whereas other penguins have 4 to 8 microscopic ones.

Penguin (pronounced "Peng-win") is a Greek compound of "pen" or Bic and "Gwyn" or girls name. Pen-Gwyn. It looks nothing like a Bic which resembles a stick with ink inside it.

They are superb hunters. Unparalleled masters of predation.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l99/urbanH/blog-1.jpg
Jumping penguins are classified as clever bastards of which there are some 500 genera and 5000 species--the most numerous of any penguin family. Unlike most penguins which have poor vision, clever bastards have superb vision. Because they are feathery and do not wrap chocolate biscuits, they share some common ground with other penguins. But are much more recent--about 50 million years.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l9...45c41970c-.jpg
Penguins' eyes are paired and each pair are generally functionally different from the other pairs and are different sizes. Although they look exposed, the eyes have a tough transparent covering. You could touch their eyes with your finger and it won't bother them but they might make a noise and peck you.

http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l9...t-penguins.jpg
Jumping penguins' eyes are mounted on a kind of cupola or tower and are elevated over the rest of the body. Markedly different from other penguins. Penguins are built amazingly like the jet fighters used in the military. That's really what they are--nature's jet fighters.

Jumping penguins don't wear a helmet.

Reminds me:

Quote:

I come now to the last question in our discussion of Cosmic Purpose, namely: is what has happened hitherto evidence of the good intentions of the universe? The alleged ground for believing this, as we have seen, is that the universe has produced US. I cannot deny it. But are we really so splendid as to justify such a long prologue? The philosophers lay stress on values: they say that we think certain things good, we must be very good to think them so. But this is a circular argument. A being with other values might think ours so atrocious as to be proof that we were inspired by Satan.

Is there not something a trifle absurd in the spectacle of human beings holding a mirror before themselves, and thinking that what they behold so excellent as to prove that a Cosmic Purpose must have been aiming at it all along? Why, in any case, this glorification of Man?

How about lions and tigers? They destroy fewer animal or human lives than we do, and they are much more beautiful than we are. How about ants? They manage the Corporate State much better than any Fascist. Would not a world of nightingales and larks and deer be better than our human world of cruelty and injustice and war? The believers in Cosmic Purpose make much of our supposed intelligence, but their writings make one doubt it. If I were granted omnipotence, and millions of years to experiment in, I should not think Man much to boast of as the final result of all my efforts.

Man, as a curious accident in a backwater, is intelligible: his mixture of virtues and vices is such as might be expected to result from a fortuitous origin. But only abysmal self-complacency can see in Man a reason which Omniscience could consider adequate as a motive for the Creator. The Copernican revolution will not have done its work until is has taught men more modesty than is to be found among those who think Man sufficient evidence of Cosmic Purpose.

- Bertrand Russell 1935

@JWB they are amazing. Love their coats. I'm a big fan of leopards as well for the same reason.

On the topic of lions, this is pretty cool. I may have posted this before but it's worth seeing twice.

They are as different between them as any other nationality, but they somewhat tend to be more on the conservative, more boring side.

All you tree huggers should remember that next time you're claiming that humans are somehow the most evil species on Earth and all the other ones are majestic models of evolutionary harmony.

Don't forget, chimps are known to kill other chimps from different groups, methodically taking out the competition, one-by-one, until the other group is weak enough that the first can move in and take their territory and females. That's pretty much primitive warfare, so we didn't necessarily invent that either.

strategic infanticide is also standard procedure for bears and mountain gorillas, btw

and who here is not surprised that vwls loves bears? eh?

Is that a gay joke? I sense a gay joke.

why do you suppose a rhino has a horn like that? and don't google it like a little bitch

basically. the answer is to get bitches

They also dig with it. Its a multipurpose tool.

the question was why do they have horns not what can they do with them

Are people taking this seriously?

Cheetahs have been my favorite animal since I was just a lil nugget.

to answer the OP though a colony of ants could **** up any lion, tiger, bear, rhino, penguin, cheetah...

doesn't matter

ants have collective intelligence, which they use to solve complex problems like where to build their nest or how to move the entire horde of ants across a moving body of water

or, of course, how to quickly and painfully dismantle and pwn any other organism

and before you come in here with your "a colony of ants isn't a single organism" bs

that's a matter of perspective my man

long story short a colony of ants will **** your life up son

ants are a zoo animal now??

I once witnessed a young gorilla beating an older gorilla with a stick 3 feet away from me on the other side of Plexiglas. And that specific gorilla is my favorite animal at the Detroit Zoo.

Wouldn't be surprised to see one jack a car around here either.

ants are at every zoo you ever been to bitch

Word. Cheetahs kick ass. In kindergarten we had to do presentations on our favourite animals and while the rest of the basic bitches in my class did weak **** like dogs and cats I whipped out the cheetah and blew their ****ing minds.

I was a pretty cool five year old.
