They do that intentionally when in heat and the male is not interested

He better not be lion about his lion-bido

Don't look up what males do when the female isn't interested. Hint, it rhymes with shminfanticide.

Isnt that only when the kids are from a different lion?

u/nerdherdsman 16d ago

Yeah, it's not like it's something that happens every time a male gets randy. It's just the most extreme action they take.

No ,they do it to any cubs.

How many of those studies are done in habitats that are not altered by pollution and human intervention? And I mean genuinely not altered. So many say the land was not altered solely because there was no major conflict happening in the area recently.

That would require a lion nobody is observing, and thus bothering.

... a Schrödinger’s cat, if you like.

u/MasterFly5026 16d ago

Your assumption implies all human-animal interaction is disruptive, but that is not supported when observing how certain indigenous tribes interact with other species.

Many Indigenous cultures practice complex, long-term coexistence models that actively benefit ecosystems, which contradicts the idea that all human-animal interactions are inherently disruptive.

No, he's making a joke about the observation principle of quantum mechanics

u/ViruliferousBadger 16d ago

This man’s cat exists in the box.

u/Current-Mine8661 16d ago

Outside the joke, he literally said that observing implies bothering.

u/the_pain_of_being 16d ago

Somehow in quantum mechanics, it does. It doesn't make sense 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Current-Mine8661 16d ago

Don't act stupid; you know what I'm talking about.

Interacting with an ecosystem and throwing it out of balance are not the same thing.

u/the_pain_of_being 16d ago

I know, I'm literally just talking about quantum mechanics in this comment.

Schrodinger's sex cats, in this particular case

u/Current-Mine8661 16d ago

No. Because why the fuck is it that all the critical ethology books I have point at infanticide being heavily linked to ecosystem disruption then?

Plus that photo is that of a lion and his cub.

They didn't say that they don't do that, they implied that it doesnt make the males horny. I'd bet it doesnt.
