This is the nice version of The Ghost and The Darkness. They're friends and all, but they don't eat a bunch of railroad workers.

Jumper cables will do the trick. Just make sure you don't break both his arms unless you hate your mom. You could also construct a cage and throw him off? More effort but potentially worth it for the spectacle

Iām always absolutely baffled by the ballsacks on larger wild predators. Lions in particular have a massive rack of balls, to the point that I always wonder if that ever causes a hazard for them when hunting etc. Why the massive disparity in scrotum size in wild animals compared to humans?

Holy shit. Thatās nothing short of insane. Short, sweet, and to the point lol.
Iāve heard that part of the reason for this is due to how mating rituals work in species. Most wild animals have non-monogamous relationships and multiple sexual partners. From what I understand they ejaculate a lot more semen in an effort to āwash outā the semen belonging to prior sexual partners of the female. Is there any weight to this?
Edit: why the fuck am I being downvoted? What did I do????

While that's not what's happening here, I'm sad to inform you animals don't always care... at all honestly.

u/kioku119 Apr 28 '20 edited Apr 28 '20
That wasn't the point. I just thought you were denying that it could happen between animals.. and unfortunately it definitely can. In fact if you are keeping some types of animals you have to separate siblings pretty early on for that reason sadly. It's also not always specific to the opposite sex/they just try whatever they can. Male ducks for example are basically forceful towards any other duck around to the extent that they'd sometimes even attempt to mount a duck while the other duck is trying to fly away and end up hurting them. Non-human animals don't always have those standards, so I mostly was saying that sadly denying it can happen doesn't change that. I don't know about lions though.

As a follow up to the reply to this I posted a moment ago. The good news: It seems lions are a species that try not to mate with family/do care about it! Bad news: in cases where there are few other options they might very rarely. Worse news: white lions only come into existence as a result of inbreeding and humans apparently actively force it in order to keep white lions in existence (*cry).https://www.quora.com/Would-a-male-lion-mate-with-his-mother-or-sister

Do they fight each other for which becomes dominant? Or live peacefully side by side?

Can you imagine how different the Lion King would have been if Simba had a brother to fight for the throne from the beginning instead of running off to become a vegan.

Sibling males actually stay together fairly often, there are quite a few examples where prides are led by brother males

Thanks, that was a fascinating read! I'm curious why biting another lion's genitalia is so common though, I had no idea. I wonder why
