We had some dietician named Stanton in Australia going off her brain a few years ago because there were ads on tv about red meat. The ads went on about it improving intelligence, among other things. She made the argument that because the great cats (lions, tigers, panthers etc) ate a lot of red meat, why weren’t they the top sp*cies rather than people. Completely ignoring the fact that for some 50 million years they WERE! And, no-one ever said they weren’t clever – they are still supremely adapted to their environment. So why aren’t they the top sp*cies? A major difference is that they have paws, whereas humans have hands. Just a small detail.
I must say, once on a safari in South Africa, we were surrounded by this pride of lions, when suddenly this MASSIVE male walks next to our open-top truck. It suddenly hit me that we looked awfully like a food-truck to them…
Watching a documentary about lions, I learned that the females hunt and kill, then the males come in to feast. Females are okay with turning on older males for a meal.
The Wiley Bears need to visit places like Churchill, Manitoba. There are Polar Bear Tours there. Seriously. Tour buses going out onto the literal frozen tundra to have a look at very large land carnivores in the wild. Polar Bear Tourism is a major industry in Churchill. I’d move south.
It’s actually the lionesses that do the hunting, those male lions are pretty slow. And they use the safari vehicles as hunting blinds… I remember one time a female cheetah hid under our vehicle until the prey came close enough to catch.
While it’s true that within a pride, the females do the hunting, bachelor males hunt quite well. The best of them eventually take over a pride. Wiley’s lion is obviously a bachelor!

So I hired a predator to drive a bus. It’s hard to find qualified workers nowadays. And it’s not like there are children on there.

The lions have learned about meals on wheels. That’s a tour the tourists won’t take a second time.

Probably should be a lioness driving, but they don’t have those readily obvious manes to communicate identity

One little goof—it’s teh FEMALE lions who do all t he hunting while the male’s just lie around and hog most of the catch.
And that’s a male lion behind the wheel.

The lion is probably not hungry any more so the other group is safe.

it’s true the lioness’ do all the hunting. the male’s primary job is to defend the territory (from other males) and to help make more lion cubs
