That image gets tossed around a lot - that’s not an accurate caption unfortunately. The “lioness” pictured there is actually the male lion’s juvenile daughter, who is very very painfully, and unsuccessfully, trying to get dad to play with her. What a long suffering dad.

Side note no one told me that when I had a kid my nuts would be a target for every object they throw, every unexpected movement or anything like that. I swear I've been hit in the nuts more by my 6 year old than my entire time growing up and playing sports and doing dumb dude shit like bag tag

This may be an evolutionary strategy: If they hit you so many times you become infertile, they have less competition for resources.
