i am kinda sorry, but chris is allmost completly wrong about lions & hyenas.Firefilm said:
you know the reason why lions can be this lazy? they are the scavengers, in fact they use their strength to chase away other predators from the game thoose predators hunted.
you know the reason lions "hate" hyenas? it is because hyenas are actually the ones that are the hunters, the lions just chase them away to steal the food the hyenas hunted.
you know the reason why male lions have to be so vigilant about other male lions? it is this way because if a male lion takes over a "pride", he will kill every single little lion baby so the genes of his predecessor will not survive, he also does it to hasten the reproductive cicle of the females, so essentially 'kill babies to fuck the moms', very classy -.- Now, if a male hyena tried to pull the same stunt in a pack, the females WILL kill him and serve his body as a happy meal to the lions.
also, while we are discusing the social differences between hyenas and lions, if a pack of hyenas kills an animal, the first members of the pack that are allowed to feed from it are the young hyenas who can't hunt by themself; if a pack of lions succesfully steals something from other animals, the alpha-male will bully his way to be the first to feed from it, sometimes even to the detriment of his own children. also, female and male hyenas hunt together as equals, so if you want to stress the "equalist" angle, in the lion society, the male is a lazy, child-murdering rapist while the females have to do all the work; in the hyena society the burdens of life are equally distributed between the genders as far as that is possible (yes, the males of the pack also have to tend to the children and protect them, instead of being lazy like a lion).
in a nutshell, the most acurate despiction of a lion in the media was scar, mufasa and simba are the glorified, humanized versions our own cultural bias produced.
another thing about hyenas: the so-called "giggeling" of hyenas is actually a method of communication, think of it as a form of military short-talk to tell the other members of the pack where you are, which direction you are heading, what you smell and see in the vicinity and in which direction a possible target is heading. it is also used to coordinate the attack on the animal your pack intends to hunt down, and lastly as a warning mechanism to inform your pack when thoose pesky FEDs err lions come to steal your hard earned money err meat ;-)
sidenote: hyenas are actually not wolfs, they developed from the same ancestors that cats developed from, their evolutonary line just split very early from the other cats.
it says a lot about human society that we choose to glorify lions and try to give hyenas a bad name...
i apologize for any gramatical or ortographic mistakes, english is not my first language.
i agree, one has to keep in mind that in ancient human history there were good reasons to be cautious of malformed or sickly-looking individuals, the outward appeareance often told you (subconcously) about diseases or genetical errors that could have a negative impact on your tribe. over time, this formed a kind of cultural bias that is really difficult to get rid of and can have horrible consequences (we germans are especially guilty of this).kailus13 said:
as a sidenote, i imagine that we sound equally creepy to hyenas as they sound to us xD
Lion steaks make you stronger, lion boots make you look cooler, and lion milk can cure any illness known to man or beast, however I dare you to attempt to milk a lion.el_kabong said:
I'm surprised within the first 35 posts no one declared Dragons to The Best Animal Ever.

As for lions they aren't even The Best Cat Ever
The Best Cat Ever is
Cheetahs
http://cheetahs-rock.de/
Cheetahs unlike most Big Wild Cats are nearly domestic & have been used as a substitute for Hunting Dogs.
Cheetahs have claws similar to dogs.
Cheetahs can chirp like birds, which is freaking adorable.
Cheetahs are probably one of very few animals that have committed too much incest but don't look ugly.
Unfortunately Cheetahs are also endangered due how hard it is for them to survive birth & grow up.
Which is why its important for us Humans to prevent their extinction.
Also Cheetahs are the Cat People in

But for The Best Animal ever (even though I don't care for them)
Humpback Whales http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_IV:_The_Voyage_Home
Caitian ( http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Caitian ) probably wouldn't have done what those Alien Humpback Whales did if Earth Cats went extinct.
An entire movie based on basically The Federation bricking their pants & having to go into the past to prevent further destruction from Alien Whales by bringing Humpback Whales into the future.

Eh, lions are ok, but I prefer the Honey Badger. To quote the famous webvidoe: "Honey badger don't care, honey badger don't give a shit."
Though in terms of big cats, I've always preferred cheetahs to lions.

I love hippos. Funniest animal video I ever saw was a baby hippo, jumping around and being a bratty little pain in the arse, on a full grown fucking CROCODILE. You could see the crocodile was pissed off but it was too scared to move because mummy hippo was lounging on the shore watching, and he knew he had to sit there and be a chew toy or she would fuck him up.OlasDAlmighty said:

So that is where feminists got their "patriarchy" hypothesis
Everything starts to make sense now...
(except, no, nothing still makes any goddamn sense, but at least idea is kinda funny
)Anyway, totally agree on hyenas
Those are world's most underrated animals (or one of)
Efficient
Just
Caring
Kind
But noooo
"something that ugly and creepy must be evil and bad"
Goddamn ignorant biased specists!
No not the big or highly poisonous ones, but ordinary house spiders
The unseen guardians standing between us and flies, mosquitoes and other annoying insects
But yet again stupid ignorant people will stomp them whenever possible

Virtual high-five to you my friend, you are the first person I've ever known to know what a pangolin is. Not to mention how cool they are.shirkbot said:High five fellow middle-of-the-food-chain selector! However, I submit that the pangolin is in fact the best animal. They're like armored aardvarks with prehensile tails, giving them excellent protection from anything non-human and allowing them to climb trees with adorable ease. Also, look at this young pangolin:Terminate421 said:No the greatest animal ever has god himself showing a documentary about it:
These are the cutest and best things on the planet.
So cute!
Edit: Forgot a / in the image link.
Meanwhile elephants are like: "Oh I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of me trampling your shit. Let me just stomp your predators with this here tree I just pulled out of the damned ground. (ps: now I'm going to paint a picture... of myself.. because I'm all intelligent like that.)"
Also: - Rhinos, the only animals that don't run FROM fire but TO fire. Yeah that's right... rhinos > fire.
Don't even get me started on the hippopotamus... most dangerous animal in Africa. That guy will bite crocodiles in half. Show me a lion that does that.

What, lions? Lions aren't even the best cat (tigers FTW). But let's move away from cats for just a moment...
Praying mantis? They kill and eat snakes ten times their size. Snakes. Something that, should everything be right in the world, would eat them. They kill up the evolutionary predator ladder.
Tiger sharks have teeth specifically designed to cut through giant sea turtle shells.
Ravens and crows, for their brain size, are smarter than anything (humans included).
Mantis shrimp punch at 10,000g (the acceleration of a .22 bullet) with club fists stronger than any engineered ceramics we've been able to invent. They don't even have to hit; the shockwave alone is enough to boil water and murder their prey.
Peregrine falcons dive at up to 242 mph. Most people never even control a vehicle moving that fast. No other animal can achieve such speeds without mechanical assistance.
And don't even get me started on extinct animals. The ankylosaurus weighed six tonnes, was covered in armor, and grew a stone club on its tale to break predators' kneecaps. Megalodon had teeth bigger than most people's hands (think of a great white shark except five times the size; that's right, Jaws would be a snack for one of these things).
Lions have, what, a goddamn mane? A title they never earned based upon a false understanding of their ecology? Genocidal tendencies towards hyenas? Lions have good PR, and that's about it.

Megalodon had teeth bigger than most people's hands (think of a great white shark except five times the size; that's right, Jaws would be a snack for one of these things).
Lions have, what, a goddamn mane? A title they never earned based upon a false understanding of their ecology? Genocidal tendencies towards hyenas? Lions have good PR, and that's about it.
I'm going to have to agree to disagree here. While lion steaks may imbue you with some of the lion's strength, they also cause other lion-like behaviors, as you absorb the essence of the great beast. I went through a lion-steak fad diet phase, but I had to stop because the uncontrollable urge to mark my territory became extremely inconvenient for my roommates. As for lion boots, I admit that they're stylish, but I really only end up bringing them out for formal events. Most of the time, they just sit in my closet. Lastly, the difficulty in procuring lion's milk makes it hard to justify any additional curative properties while my Lucky Charms remain tragically unquenched.Chris Pranger said:
