Now it's widely known the female of the species is more deadlier than the male in the animal kingdom, a lesson we humans had pushed to one side, so as to carefully build the matriarchy in the west.
So too did a male lion forget this sage old advice and has consequently been murdered by his partner of 8 years. No one apparently witnessed what 'triggered' the fight (he probably said she had a fat arse) in the US zoo based in Indianapolis, but by the time the zoo keepers got their arse in gear, the male victim was dead.
The male lion, a 10 year old African whose name was Nyack, was said to have died from suffocation the necropsy report found. (A necropsy is the name of an autopsy done on animals if you were wondering).
Now the zoo has said they will not change how the lions will be managed, which seems a bit flippant at first, but when you come to understand that zoos routinely kill healthy animals, you realise where this laid back attitude comes from.
Although the female was a dirty murdering bastard, at least they didn't shoot her to death like the police and zoo keepers (and apparently dentists) are fond of. I mean remember Harambe - they shot his arse after he took the job of unpaid babysitter. It turned out no action was taken against the parents of the kid that lead to Harambe's murder, even though it later emerged the father had a lengthy criminal history, including drug trafficking and kidnap.
The male lion leaves behind a family of 3 cubs and you have to wonder if not having a father around will be used as an excuse for the cubs to misbehave - who knows.
We can't bring the male lion back, but we can stop taking male deaths lightly and share the information more (be them hairy arsed wild animal males or only slightly better groomed human hairy arsed males).
