>be lion cub
>be born with a barbed prick
>have a one in eight chance of even surviving to adulthood because if dad gets desposed by another male lion the other male lion will kill you to put your momma into estrus
>at the age of 2 get expelled by papa and have to team up Double Dragon style with other male lions just to survive(usual outcome is slowly starving to death)
>much like Double Dragon, you end up fighting your friends for the right to take over a pride and mate
>have to also take over a pride by fighting an established male lion
>IF you win - only get two to three years as the "king" of a pride
>But hey, 3,000 sexual copulations for every one lion cub you make
Is it worth it /an/?

No, the life of a male lion sucks. For a female, maybe.

You ever seen that study on baboons, where alpha male baboons were more stressed out from trying to maintain their place at the top of the hierarchy while alpha female baboons were secure and comfy in their positions?

Female lions get killed and eaten by males often

It's more than one case:

>We were on a game drive on Chiefs Island out of Mombo Camp in the Okavango Delta when we heard lions fighting in the thickets. Upon investigation we came across four young male lions that had caught a young female lion from a nearby pride. The lioness was part of a small group of lions that had a kill too far into the other territory. They were surprised by the four males, the one lioness was caught whilst the rest fled. While the four had successfully subdued the female in what had been a vicious fight they began feeding on her while she was still alive. As the lioness took her last breaths, the four males were feeding on her as if it was a normal prey animal.

>“As far as I’m concerned this is not totally abnormal behaviour…The killing of an outsider is mostly just eradication of potential competition and the dead animal a source of protein and nutrition that will not go to waste. They possibly also eat the dead lion to make sure that the competing hyenas in the area don’t get a free meal and in turn becoming more powerful, thus killing 2 birds with 1 stone, so to speak.”

>Jason’s experience in the Sabi Sand and keen interest for Big Cats also refers us experiences with the Mapogos. He says, “I have, on a number of occasions, witnessed lions feeding on another lion. If a lion is caught outside of its territory and killed it is often eaten by the attacking pride/lion. In the Sabi Sand, the well-known Mapogo coalition of 6 males killed and ate many lionesses, often even ‘raping’ them in the process as a show of dominance.”

>"When male lions take over a new pride they can be extremely insistent on mating with any adult female that they assume should be reproductively active," Dr Funston explained to us via email. "In extreme cases of male frustration and exertion of dominance, lions will even kill lionesses that refuse to mate with them."

It sounds based how do we implement this for humanity
