I prefer your father. He's an animal all his own, if you get what I mean.

fun fact about lions... they are social animals that exist in prides containing usually one alpha male, a harem of females with which he breeds, and the current brood of cubs. technically some prides can be ruled by two males, in which case they are usually brothers.

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:

you're staring into the eyes of a soulless, born and bred baby killer

trigger warning: video contains graphic evidence of lion infanticide

look at how happy he is after he kills that baby, man. these cats are of the devil if you ask me

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.

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
