In the case of brothers they can be co-alphas and if one dies the other will not kill the cubs.

Of course the chances of the remaining brother remaining Alpha for long is not good. He is used to fighting as a team and will not be able to fight off another team of brothers or even a single lion used to fighting solo.

Clever and so true. But be careful, you will get drunk very fast around here if you are playing that drinking game.

Luckily, I'm only drinking tea. Unluckily, I'm well on my way to caffeine-induced cardiac arrest.

I guess in some simple minds it’s not possible to care about both at the same time.

Exactly. And they assume that we suffer from their affliction.

Whoops! Should have pinged you to #44.

"Whoops! Should have pinged you to #44."

That's okay. I can't get up.

Soldiering on until unconsciousness hits, though...

[Slings and Arrows]

LOL!

Beautiful lion family.

If they hadn’t made such a big deal bout the first one, they poachers may have overlooked the second one.

Get off my lawn?

[WilliamofCarmichael]

Actually google,

site:www.dailymail.co.uk planned parenthood

produces many hits. To be fair the Daily Mail does cover the real horror.

But as for the employees of our MSM

"The most insidious power of the media, is the power to ignore”

Or in the old days.. the spike.

Cutting babies apart and selling the parts? no don't fit, the lion yes . . . .

What an adorable baby!

Oh yeah, how about Graybeard 58 (1945)?

[Slings and Arrows]

I tried but they were just lion around.

Dana Loesch is trying her best to expose the baby killers, including pro-abort Jeb Bush. Somebody has to because Fox News refuses to report the Bush story.

Will his tissue samples and body parts be sold on the open market to the highest bidders?

The minute a wild animal has a *name*....you can expect a month-long news avalanche.

[Daffynition]

You thread hi-jacker, you!

I believe you might have a drinking problem .....but it's none of my bidzness. Carry on!

[Slings and Arrows]

Someone should tell that lion not to play with it’s food.
