Accordingly, the female lion performed gentle but provocative movements such as rubbing her head against the male’s neck and whipping her tail in the male’s face. Responding to the female’s seductive movements, the male lion also immediately stood up and showed that he had been completely “subdued” by the female.
When realizing that the male lion had been distracted, the female lion suddenly released the prey lying on the ground to run away as quickly as possible.
However, due to the entangled prey, the female lion could not run fast, so the male lion easily caught up. Knowing that she could not escape with the bait, the female lion agreed to drop the bait and leave.
As for the male lion, he can now continue to enjoy his meal. However, the clip also shows that this male looked at the female lion with “regretful” eyes.
“The male lion was completely surprised, but he immediately realized he had been tricked and chased after the prey. The female lion was not fast enough so the male lion caught up. The frustration was evident. clearly on the lioness’s face as she walked,” Gareth van Rooyen shared.
Lions are amorous animals and have a very high mating frequency. According to scientists, during the reproductive period, a female can mate with many different males.
A female can mate 20 to 40 times per day for 4 consecutive days. There are even many documents that have recorded individual female lions mating more than 80 times a day with many different males.
During the reproductive and cub raising stages, female lions will stop mating. In some cases, male lions will try to kill cubs to force the mother lion to mate with them.
