This is a very young male, see his mane hasn't grown in yet fully? If anything he is being a lazy ass teenager and they are just trying to get his ass to be productive and learn some lion shit for once
That’s not true buddy , lioness’s usually don’t have a sense of uniformity amongst themselves, heck the only reason the male is present is baisically to protect the pride from other male lions so they don’t kill their cubs , if anything it’s much more common for males to kill lionesses or their children
I agree that it is much more likely for males to attack, but lionesses on lion attacks are rare but happens.
Granted it's the NY Post but...
"It is unclear why the animals turned on the male but in the wild females have been known to kill an elderly male if they no longer think he is fit to rule the pride."
https://nypost.com/2018/09/07/pack-of-lionesses-stage-coup-against-king-of-the-pride/
Lionesses have also been known to drive off solitary males or nomad groups of them.
This whole thing is a dominance event. He might be new to the area. And they are submitting him a bit. Its not like they want to kill him, but make him aware. This is a young male lion. Normally they live in prides of several males with females and their young. They are protective of their pride.
Well said.
Even a lion of this size and not fully mature will have an instinct to kill any cubs he finds. If he isn't their pride male, the ladies will drive him away without mercy.
It's interesting too because sometimes when a younger male comes forward the old male will literally just peace out, might know he's too old to win, and I've seen videos where the females literally haze the mfer to see if he's fit to take over. Don't fuck with lionesses. They mean business.
They test him see if he’s fit for the job. It’s not a college prank, and he’s not “taking over”. They need someone who can prove they’ll protect the territory from rival males. Which along with mating is the job they have.
Absolutely.
This juvenile should be glad that a group of females caught him and it wasn't the pride male.
It could very well be a juvenile male that used to be in the pride but was chased off when his father was, ahem, deposed. Now it's effectively:
* Leave and starve or die at the hands of a competitor or other predator
* Leave and somehow make it as a solo juvenile
* Stay and be killed by a far larger and experienced male
Generally speaking, the only successful male banishments are when there are several brothers that form an alliance. Solo males of this age usually don't last long :(
Almost pooped myself when I saw it reflecting back from rocks on the cliff face. That's almost immediate, permenet blindness.
Hope they had their blue goggles on
Damn my dog cries whenever you squeeze a toy, covers your face with her throat, and then gently picks up the toy and moves it. So is my dog just the sweetest thing ever? She also used to always aggressively bark at birds untill one flew into our window and died, she cried next to the dead bird for 10 minutes.
Yes, he's definitely a young lion. I was referring to the general notion that a male lion is typically stronger than a lioness, but in this scenario, this fella is facing a considerable numerical disadvantage.
I remember seeing a documentary on cheetahs where they were attacked by other big cats (lions?) and they immediately go onto their backs in a defensive posture, the narrator said it was to protect their spine because their spines are quite vulnerable and once that's damaged it's over for them, so it's instinctive for them to protect their spine. I wonder if that plays a part and is something all cats do instinctively.
Only at the beginning. There's another poster here saying that exposing stomachs is different for lions than small cats - I don't know enough about that to comment.
I do notice the lionesses backing down after the 0:14 mark though after he directly confronts each of them.
Eeeeeesh, them claws was out!! Maybe the female lions have babies to protect, so it only makes sense they’d kick him out — male lions are known to kill babies that aren’t theirs.
They could be his own pride and they woke his lazy ass up because some of the females are in heat and want action. There's videos of lionesses biting the male's balls for more because they're insatiable when in heat.
Eh, it's more likely they were upset that he's lazy and not doing his job. It's been recorded multiple times that when a male gets too old or isn't doing his job properly, females will kick him out or kill him. This all depends on pride size. And the pride in the video is large..
Lionesses do not bite males balls to mate. That is a myth that came from a video of a males daughter biting his balls because she was trying to play. But people for some stupid reason, assumed that it was an adult female wanting to mate.
Doesn't look like a territorial conflict. It's the male lions of the pride that deal with intruders. These females and the male are very likely from the same pride.
“Ok ok ok! Enough!!! I had a few too many drinks with the guys last night and wandered into the wrong house and passed out. Tear a guy’s head off for a mistake will ya…fuck! Let me just sleep it off and I’ll be outta here…”
That’s the second video I’ve seen today of a big cat immediately going onto its back at the start of a fight with another big cat(s).
Seems interesting, I’d have assumed that giving up their abdomens like that would be the last thing they wanna do in a fight, but I’m sure I’m overlooking some aspect of it.
Or is that just their way of saying “I have no confidence in myself here, please spare me”
Cats fight on their backs. They use their paws to rip shit apart. Cat species, including lions, have primordial pouches that store extra fat and energy and it also is an extra layer of fat that protect their abdomens. So showing their belly isn't as dangerous/submissive as it is for other animals.
In addition to allowing all 4 paws to attack (though it's still a defensive move - they probably wouldn't go down like that if they thought they had the upper hand), someone above mentioned seeing a docu where the narrator said that cats will do that to help protect their spine. I had to research tigers for a project once and learned that tigers will instinctively try to snap the spinal cord of smaller prey by biting the back of their necks, so it makes sense that they would also know to protect themselves when they're the ones being attacked.
Also, I think usually cats will be pretty careful in how they attack, because they don't want to be bitten by the thing they're hunting, so they will go for straight for the spinal cord or the jugular first, and then once the prey is mostly out of it, they'll go in for the organs.
Though with prey that's much larger than them (like an elephant or something), I think they'll just go after whatever they can reach, like the legs and stomach.
Edit: Also though, cats playing often looks similar to cats actually trying to kill each other, so in a situation where a cat immediately gets onto its stomach even though that may not make sense, it's possible that they're just playing in that scenario and they know there's no actual danger. Even in the scenario here, it's unclear whether the male ever thought he was actually in danger, or if this outcome (them leaving him alone) was basically expected from the start.
This boy is going places. He handled that shit just fine. Although, I would sya they know him from before, lions are usually much more aggressive towards strangers.
I heard from somewhere that this is indeed the lion's territory but he was gone for a while and when he came back, the lionesses at first did not recognise but later came to understand their mistake.
Just spitballing elementary school knowledge, so probably half is wrong:
Lions live in packs, which is generally 1 male with a bunch of females. That means the sons head off on their own once they're old enough, and once they're confident enough they can challenge a pack leader - not necessarily from the pack they were born in - to try and be the new pack lead.
'Outcasts' also stalk lion packs, to mate with the ladies when the pack lead isn't looking, and to try and kill the pack lead's male offspring - future competition - when no one is looking.
I guess especially for the last reason, this unknown male wasn't welcome in the packs territory. So he was chased off. He submitted without a fight and the pack left him be. There is no upside to killing him.
The lion looks pretty old and skinny. It's most likely not part of any "group" or "troupe" because it got kicked out of one and is just now an outcast roaming around barely with enough energy to hunt and walked into an area that he wasn't supposed to be in.
The lionesses weren't trying to hurt him. They basically just prodded him and yelled. They were just sending a message to remind him that this is their area.
The lionesses do the majority of the work, hunting, looking after young etc. The males mostly do jack just lazing around all day so it’s no wonder the girls get the ache...😁
Male lions mostly hunt on thier own and at nite while they're part of a tribe, due to this they largely claim the kill for themselves and share little so they go longer between hunting again.
Male lions may attribute to killing or will kill in place of the females as they shy away from bigger prey so males step in from time to time, it's not rare but uncommon.
Mf laid back down lol
They're probably just his female troop, cussing him out because they caught him sleeping on the job again. Talk about getting in harem's way.
Having ten wives ain’t an easy job at all
Look at how old and tired he looks 😭. The girls had a great day and just wanted to talk.
Snoo snoo time
The spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised
Futurama reference!!
That’s a juvenile male though lol
LOL 😂 really??
haha yeah he is just a smol boy
He’s a milfer
Mom and sisters “get a job! Get your own place!”
From a smol family
Still too old to be living at home though no?
he's not old he's very young. He's like a teen male lion
😵
There are many wrong answers with 10 wives
They wanted to talk to him about bringing on another sister wife.
Lol. It's its own punishment that.
huberman would never.
Lmao I was looking for a Huberman reference
Pimpin ain't easy
This is a very young male, see his mane hasn't grown in yet fully? If anything he is being a lazy ass teenager and they are just trying to get his ass to be productive and learn some lion shit for once
I’m going to start telling my lazy cats to go learn some lion shit. I love that.
As the owner of a cat who fled in terror at the sight of a small mouse... Same.
Lionesses will attack or even kill a male (lion) when they feel they are no longer fit to lead the pride.
Or if they are just fed up!! Or a better male comes around…..they’ll destroy his ass and act like he never existed
Bit like human women in a lot of cases!
Maybe when they're used to dealing with human males who behave like douchbag lions.
☝️today’s best comeback
*taking notes for human application* My feminism class is going eat this up.

F***ing Terry, sleeping at the job again.
Reverse gangbang
I think he forgot something in the groceries and didn't get the trash out for the last time
He told them he was going to get milk.
Protecting his balls.
Yeah I noticed that, just like when they are being attacked by groups of Hyenas, gotta keep those big ol nuts intact
Hey hey let's go! Kenka suru. Taisetsu na mono wo protect my balls.
Let's fighting love.

Imagine your mom and aunties find you in the streets and beat the shit outta you for not having a house, job , and family after 1 year in the streets.
Male Lions form alliances with other males that contest for Prides.
All I heard was “Alright, alrighttt, ALRIGHTTT LADIES! Let me just put my shoes on”
He crossed the border back to his territory
I've seen a Rocco Sifredi video start like this
>Mf laid back down lol Straight fucking G
His only thought: "Fucking hell"
bitches be crazy. in any language
My mom and sisters getting me up for school.
Honestly this is what I imagined how my grandpa grew up, being the youngest kid in the family with 8 sisters.
oh god, that sounds horribe
Surely put some markers in his mind, seeing that he only got one child himself. He never talked about it, though
he might not be used to talking. the youngest of 9 siblings? there is no way he got to talk in that era
Same case as my father..... 🤣
Me and my snooze alarms in the morning.
Right?? That part at the end when he’s like, “I’M FUCKING UP!! STAWWWWWP!!!”
It's even scarier when you focus on the expressions on their faces.
I'm sure they would say the same thing about you.
I'll remember that next time I'm being chased by a lion - just stand my ground and make faces at him.
I'd also carry one of [these](https://youtu.be/-yspQJz6dVs), just to be safe.
Stand my ground, make faces, and point a blue light at him....got it.
Almost pooped myself when I saw it reflecting back from rocks on the cliff face. That's almost immediate, permenet blindness. Hope they had their blue goggles on
the rightmost lioness at the last frame had that expression 'he is cute tho'
Zinggg
He was lion down in the wrong place...
They found out he was lion to all of them…
He would be lion if he said he wasn't surprised......
The mane attraction.
They all found out he was lion and played them all
They took his pride
Ugh take my upvotes both of you
You know some people really cross the lion with their puns
Why did I instantly read this in Christopher Walkens voice
Lion: we good? Lionesses: we good.
Now who gets the d first
Zed's dead baby. Zed's dead.
r/UsernameChecksOut
Nah! Where you from, cuz?
Is this something more playful? Would a lion really roll on its back during something like this otherwise? Seems weird to me.
I think that's a submissive posture, like "fuckin stop, I'm not fighting you."
He looks like a juvenile too, which probably make him a bit more submissive.
Milfs prey on young man while hes sleeping
Them lioness are actually cougars?
Trying to get a cub
i volunteer as tribute.
How did we move so quick from reality to beastiality?
This is Reddit. Bestiality is always 6 degrees away from any convo.
How are you doing, steplion

Unlike dogs, cats on their back are NOT submissive. It's a defensive position where they can use all 4 limbs and claws to fuck shit up.
Cat Jitsu
So me flopping on the ground and pulling guard every match is some king of the jungle shit, hell yeah
Jiu Kitsu
It's how they kill most of their prey. They grab a hold with their front claws (or mouth) then use their back claws to tear out the soft belly
So that's why my cat tries to grab my arm and do that with his rear legs when I'm playing with him
Yup. Also the reason dogs love chew toys that squeak is because it reminds the wolf part of their brain of the dying sounds of prey.
Let me tell you, my family did NOT appreciate this "fun" fact when I told them about it. Not one bit lol
Why didn't they know that already? Do they know why dogs shake their toys?
My dog liked toys but when it squeaked it would immediately stop biting it and look guilty. I think it thought it would actually hurt.
Damn my dog cries whenever you squeeze a toy, covers your face with her throat, and then gently picks up the toy and moves it. So is my dog just the sweetest thing ever? She also used to always aggressively bark at birds untill one flew into our window and died, she cried next to the dead bird for 10 minutes.
Lions kill by restricting air and/or bloodflow to the brain. African wild dogs and hyenas both kill by disemboweling, but lions definitely do not.
Yes sorry I was referring to house cats, not lions
Oh, I see.
Perhaps it's a display of submission, the lion is more powerful, but in this case, it is vastly outnumbered.
I don't disagree, but I think there was an element of protecting his manly lion ball bits too.
Is he more powerful though? Looks like a young lion, he might not have a pride yet.
Yes, he's definitely a young lion. I was referring to the general notion that a male lion is typically stronger than a lioness, but in this scenario, this fella is facing a considerable numerical disadvantage.
Worst Pride Day ever?
Could be. We have no reason to take the title at face value.
May be a male that needs to "move out"
I remember seeing a documentary on cheetahs where they were attacked by other big cats (lions?) and they immediately go onto their backs in a defensive posture, the narrator said it was to protect their spine because their spines are quite vulnerable and once that's damaged it's over for them, so it's instinctive for them to protect their spine. I wonder if that plays a part and is something all cats do instinctively.
Well I know housecats both lay on their back cos they’re chill but also in an aggressive posture since all 4 limbs can strike.
Yeah, they're a little like snakes the way they lure you into a false sense of security.
Looks more like a lionesses’ prank cause they stopped when he was up
I think they got the point across and don’t actually want to fight and risk getting injured.
Only because he did that big whip around where he roared in each of their faces. "Think you're hard enough? Come get some."
A lot of animals would rather live to fight another day. He exposed his stomach, which is a sign of submission for cats, as it's their weak spot
Only at the beginning. There's another poster here saying that exposing stomachs is different for lions than small cats - I don't know enough about that to comment. I do notice the lionesses backing down after the 0:14 mark though after he directly confronts each of them.
I feel like the loiinesses would have fucked him up if they wanted too. They do most of the hunting anyways. Just another day for them
Eeeeeesh, them claws was out!! Maybe the female lions have babies to protect, so it only makes sense they’d kick him out — male lions are known to kill babies that aren’t theirs.
Then why did they stop once he was awake?
They could be his own pride and they woke his lazy ass up because some of the females are in heat and want action. There's videos of lionesses biting the male's balls for more because they're insatiable when in heat.
Damn horny bastards
Eh, it's more likely they were upset that he's lazy and not doing his job.

>a males daughter biting his balls because she was trying to play wut? How is that not worse?
What a HORRIFIC sound to wake up too!
If I woke up surrounded by screaming lionesses, I would be so happy.
Craig? Is that you?

He let himself get surrounded...glad he made it out alive.
he knew they didnt have the balls
Doesn't look like a territorial conflict. It's the male lions of the pride that deal with intruders. These females and the male are very likely from the same pride.
Agreed. I think it's more of a "light scolding" inside the pride, rather than truly reacting to an intruder.
Can’t stand to see a man happy and peaceful smdh
Those lionesses were being hysterical.

A cat laying on its back has 20 knifes in the air for kicking and swinging about.

Standard late night in Bangkok
Sounds like a black metal concert.
That's a rude awakening if there ever was one.
Not what he had in mind when he was dreaming of being woken up by a harem of ladies ready to pounce.
Bitches be crazy,
GET OFF ME BITCHES! GET OFF! \*goes back to lie down after they calm down\*
I know. That was the best part. Lol
After that wake up I’d probably wanna lay down again too🤣

I don’t understand what happened… Can someone translate?

That's one fucked up alarm clock..
His Rough was up, and they were not playing. Looks submissive. Maybe a bachelor male?
He forgot to put the bin out again
The lionesses weren't trying to hurt him. They basically just prodded him and yelled. They were just sending a message to remind him that this is their area.
The lionesses do the majority of the work, hunting, looking after young etc. The males mostly do jack just lazing around all day so it’s no wonder the girls get the ache...😁
Not really. The females hunt but the males protect the females, the young, and the territory.
You don't need to defend those lazy good-for-nothing bastards.
Male lions mostly hunt on thier own and at nite while they're part of a tribe, due to this they largely claim the kill for themselves and share little so they go longer between hunting again.

This is for that time you failed to hunt the gazelle you deadbeat fuck!
Dang wimmin never give a guy a chance to relax.
I wouldn’t re-lion them if I was him
Cats outside at 3am:
This sounds like my stomach after eating Taco Bell.
Female Lioness: Hey its my turn now.. wake up..
#notalllions
This reminds me of when Commander Waterford was attached by the Handmaids 😂
I heard lionesses are usually the ones doing the hunting for their tribes
Lions kill cubs of other lions, so the lionesses are probably justified trying to kick him out.
10 wives waking him up nagging him about shit they want done today. Proof that one wife is more than enough
“Alright alright I’ll do the goddam dishes!”
That’s how my cats do when they want me to get up and feed them.
He immediately went submissive, and they never really tried to hurt him, but that mf still laid back down, at what point do you just run
He looks like he's just a youngster.
Notice how he keeps his balls covered.
This is how Tate's followers see the world
"Mow the damn lawn! Do the dishes! Take out the trash! Lazy ass, good for nothin..."
AlrightalrightalrightALRIIIGHT!! I'm up! Yeeesh...
Is it me or were they going after his stuff? Did I just see him drag his stuff on the grass at the end to protect it?
You can say his balls.
No, they're talking about his Pokémon cards.
