In many ways, lions’ world shares a lot of dysfunctions of human society. It is usually the adult females that lead the hunt, allowing their feared husband to hang back in the pack, sashaying along and making no conspicuous effort to contribute. His only job is to urinate on every tree to mark his territory, something that he accomplishes with remarkable consistency and – I swear – a smug smirk on his face. He knows that when his pack eventually makes the kill, he will no doubt get the first and biggest bite. Gender inequality seems to run across nations, races, and, as it appears now, species.
