Which one is doing it right?

Lions pretend that they are hurt by their cubs' bites in order to encourage them:

Somewhere in the jungle, the mighty jungle: --> (if you don't get it, we can't be friends). ;)

Papa Lion: Aggghhh! Have mercy, you mighty beast!

Junior: Dad, stop it!

Papa Lion: I'm done! I'm dead! So dark, so cold.... Ahhh!

Junior: Dad, for the love of Pete. Jeez...

Papa Lion: Don't forget who you are, Son. FINISH ME!!!

Meanwhile, in the human world:

Junior: Daddy! Daddy! Let's play catch!

Papa Human: Not now, Sonny Boy, not now.

Junior: Dad, pleeeeeease!

Papa Human: I SAID NO!!! Now go out and play.

Junior: But...

  • Never mind dear. I got your point. Sometimes the keyboard could be a real pain in the neck, amirite? ;)

  • Attagirl!

  • Hi dearest Evangelina! I would answer that, better yet, check out my page. If you like, that is. You'll see. Hugs:]

  • Oh, you didn't know? Watch this:

    RRRRRoaRRRR

  • who did tell you about that scenario? don't tell me you can speak lion language,. lol xD

  • Then, "Why so serious?". Sorry if I'm being lame, but this is my motto. :)

  • Hey, Evangelina! I'm not a zoologist, but I don't think lions eat their young. o_O

    Not in this scenario, at least.

    'Lions pretend that they are hurt by their cubs' bites in order to encourage them'.

    I think you misunderstood my point. In the above conversation, "FINISH ME!" does not mean to eat and/or kill. It means to conquer, to defeat. In an imaginary fight between a lion and his cub, the lion just pretends to be hurt. It is merely an act to encourage his cub to become a fierce hunter in the future.

  • Nice!

  • ...the lion sleeps toniiiiiight ♫♪♫♬    Sing along!
