Awwww bait

One serving of Awww, comin' up!


Ironically, Dad here probably just got done munching down on a bunch of other cute lion cubs - that's just how male lions roll.

It is interesting to me, in a dark way I suppose, the prevalence of violence in our world, and specifically genetic based violence. When the male lion comes in and kills 3 babies just because they were fathered by another male, he's not necessarily helping his tribe or the population at all - what he's doing, or more specifically, what his genes are getting him to do, is wipe out the competition. That's it, and that's pretty central: 

Gene v. gene, and we're just the vehicles and/or the weapons.
