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

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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


Cute li'l fellas, ain't they?
