I was watching Discovery Channel and they were showing lions and how they live. Lions live in packs with 1 or 2 males, as many females as the males can find, and their offspring. The pack is called a pride.
When young males grow into early adulthood they go out on their and and look for a pride to take over. When they find a pride with and aging or sick lion (Viagra isn't available where lions live) they move in and take over the pride. They do give the departing king a going away present by eating any of their offspring therefore saving the need for child support payments.
Once the young male has displayed his dominance the females go into heat within a week. His sole job is to "service" the females, the rest of the day he sleeps or wrestles with his offspring.
The females go out and hunt for him and raise the young'ins. Once the females make a kill they call their man to come eat and lovingly wait till he is full before they start to eat themselves.
So to summarize, Lions have as many wives as they want, are fed by their wives, don't have to put up with kids from earlier marriages, and don't have to pat child support when things don't work out.
So how is it man feels it is the most intelligent creature on the planet?
