We've always been Brookfield Zoo members, since when it was crappy weather, at least the zoo always had plowed roads to let the kids run their energy off on. Plus we love to commune with the critters. I never thought of the dynamics of a lion pride before, especially not in quite this way. Thanks for the smiles.Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-37952022835510163112015-03-29T11:09:16.730-04:002015-03-29T11:09:16.730-04:00Thanks, Jean.

And even among humans, polygamy seems more complex that it often seems to Western "experts." (The husband is usually assumed to "dominate" 3, 4, 6 or a dozen wives. Seriously?) Christians from traditionally polygamous cultures tend to vehemently object to any suggestion that a multi-wife family lends itself to lesbianism, so I won't go there. What I will say is that my limited exposure to Nigerian culture while I was married to a Nigerian man showed me that co-wives tend to develop close, cooperative, lifelong relationships, and their children grow up with multiple mothers. I don't see why the culture of other polygamous mammals would be different, especially if the stud/King of Beasts depends on the females for his food!Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-80778185092323229972015-03-27T12:53:12.529-04:002015-03-27T12:53:12.529-04:00I once saw a documentary about life in a tribal vi...I once saw a documentary about life in a tribal village. An anthropologist was interviewing a group of women, asking what they did in a typical day. The women went on to tell about hauling water, gardening, cooking, cleaning, raising and schooling the kids, weaving cloth, then making clothes from the cloth, etc, etc. When asked what he men did, the women all broke out laughing.

And the females have a stake in keeping the old duffer around, because a new stud moving in tends to not tolerate the cubs of his predecessor, to put it mildly.
