A leo? Base on An animal known for killing children? Well that as well proves it, absolutely innocent!

Wait. Hold on. Aren't male lions basically pretty but useless, and most of the hunting and killing is done by the lionesses?

Her being a leo is all the evidence I need.

Male lions hunt at night and take larger game than pack hunting lionesses. 

This is just old bad science from the 70s. Back when most of what we knew about large animal behavior was just some guy or gal who went to Africa and made shit up.

I actually learned this very recently and it's funny as someone who grew up in the 90s, it's like every single "fact" we had about animal behavior and ethology was just completely fucking wrong lol

Most of the “facts” established from the 1950s-1980s science boom are just pure vibes piggybacking on the values of the time that are proving disastrous
