I don't need to give you a reason why I am emotionally detached to an animal.

And aren't dinosaurs multiple animals?

largest ever wt for lion is like 600 lbs iirc and like 700 lbs for tiger. What do you think of ligers? What other animals do you like besides big cats, are you a huge dinosaur fan? i love dinosaurs. Extinct big cats, sabre tooth tiger, cave lion might have been the biggest.

It is said that 690 lbs is the record for a wild lion and 857 lbs for a wild tiger. I have no proof and hunters always like to exaggerate their claims.

I do not like dinosaurs.

I like orcas and elephants and wolves.

reportedly the avg weight for all 3 is exaggerated , like a little over 400lbs on avg for african male lions

They've never been said to weigh much more than 400 lbs.

oh reportedly many think siberian males are much larger than bengal males, exaggerated. so is the diff in wt between tigers and male lions , exaggerated.

All of the most recent measurements state that Bengal tigers are the biggest tigers. And they may also be bigger than lions but it would be by a very slim margin.

oh you hate nfl? why do female lions like dark manes so much? oh, yeah, it has been hypothesized why lions even have large manes, some said mainly for fighting , do you believe that?


Yes , I do hate the NFL

Darker maned males have more testosterone. I do not believe that manes are for fighting. I think they are used to attract females and intimidate rival males.

why don't you know, expert?
I'm glad you asked.

There is tremendous overlap between the recorded weights of lions and tigers.

The problem is that we do not get a truly random sampling (and the weights are well within the statistical error of each other, meaning we cannot definitively say that one cat is larger than the other).

In addition lions and tigers can gorge themselves with some 80 lbs of meat in one meal. All weights must account for the weight of the food in their belly - a tricky science at best.

With UBI:
-People will be willing to take more financial risks. If you are working a job you hate, you are more likely to quit and start your own business knowing that even if you fail, you will still have UBI
-UBI should not be available to inmates. This gives a financial incentive to abide by the law and dramatically reduce the social and financial costs of crime.
-We already spend a fuckton on welfare programs anyway. UBI would streamline everything and make dispersion of funds more efficient.
-Depending on how automation develops, we may eventually need it anyway
-Financial insecurity has huge physical and mental costs. UBI would alleviate some of it.
-???

How well does Disney's The Lion King hold up in terms of depicting real lion behavior (obvious things such as speaking and singing in English aside, of course)? Is the original from '94 or the CGI remake better in that regard?

They are both terrible.

Lion brothers would not be rivals and they would also not team with hyenas

Also cubs from the same pride wouldn't mate unless they were Ngorongoro crater lions or something.

Really, like t rexes? How many years has modern lion been around? Iirc t Rex was around for like 3. Isn't it like most exact same if one species usually last around 3?
About 500,000 years conservatively to 1.2 mya liberally

In 1900, before the natural world turned to shit, the carrying capacity of lions in Africa were about 200,000 animals.

I am not the best at math but I will make an attempt here.

In 1900 if there were 200,000 lions that means for all those adults, 1.6 million cubs were born (1 in 8 chance of surviving to adulthood).

A generation time for lions is about 4 years. On the conservative end, 500,000 years, that's 125,000 generations of lions. Multiply that by 1.6 million and that's 200 billion lions in Africa alone.

Don't forget we had European cave lion, west Asian lions and American cave lions.

I'm sure I fucked something up but you catch my drift.

This video happened recently? Aren't male lions much more aggressive than male tigers? They are your 2nd favorite cat?

Yes, I think it occured this month.

Male lions and tigers do a lot more posturing and bluffing than fighting...

however, that is not the case when the male lions outnumber their rivals. They will often go for the kill, and they do it in such a merciless way you get the sense that it is the pinnacle of savagery in the animal kingdom.

My 2nd favorite cat is the cheetah.

How would you rephrase it?

Things are attracted to the core of the earth because earth moves fast at its orbit. So as it moves, things have no choice but to come down to meet the earth.

How is earth rushing up to meet an object falling in the US and an object falling in Australia at the same time?

The earths surface is big. Also direction is relative. The earth isnt moving up per se, more like moving at a horizontal orbit around the sun and bringing things toward the core with it.
