Lions vs Lionesses

Upon researching i happened to have ran into something of interest. I always had an inkling that Lionesses do most of the hunting but i never knew it was a sure thing. According to many sources Lionesses are the primary hunters for each pride.

I did orignally intend to have a LION in the animation but upon finding this it makes sense to keep it as factually accurate as possible and change it to a Lioness.




































 UPDATE

Maybe i was a little hasty when i instantly changed to Lioness, looking at it from a DESIGN point of view the Lion is more interesting because of it's mane. And visually (with the style i'm aiming for, the Lion works much better).















As you can see, the mane existing gives it that extra bit of umph....And it isn't like Lion's DON'T hunt...They just aren't the primary hunters. I may revert...

  1. You know why male lions aren't the primary hunters? Because their excess bulk and that big ass mane affects stealth and speed. He hunts when he needs to which is usually when he is a loner without a pride of females to hunt for him. If he was the primary hunter of the pride... the pride would starve.
