    It’s what real lions do when taking over a pride.

        Don’t female lions do most/all of the hunting and child rearing anyway?
        Male lions don’t do shit but fight with other male lions (and kill cubs.)

          Male lions hunt a lot more than previously thought, they just do it at night when it’s hard to observe it happening without special equipment.

          Male lions only stay with a given pride for 2-3 years on average before getting kicked out, so every month the lionesses spend nursing another lion’s cubs reduces the amount of time he has to make his own cubs.
