male has a really good-looking Mane
females go crazy over it
Lions actually have to be in really good
physical condition to produce that dark

that this male is prime genetic material
and this really translates into
something that’s really important for
the females because the shell get really
good quality offspring by inheriting the
vigour that’s displayed by her mate but
it’s also a staying pal we have higher

more surviving offspring so the female
lion is preferring a male who’s going to
be the better more successful father

every week
big corporations have invested billions

trigger that evolutionary impulse to
take and take more
