3:40 I've been saying for many years (seemingly into a void) that male lions claim (not necessarily kill) more food than females. Male lions in coalitions are much more difficult to track and record, which is why from the 1950s to quite recently scientists and ESPECIALLY film crews have followed prides. Male lions have a rough life. Kicked out of their pride at 2-3 years, they aren't strong enough to even attempt to claim a pride until around 5-6 years old, and their lifespan is only 10-12 years if they survive that long. Male lions form coalitions to survive. Even so, the adult lion population is only about 25%-30% male. Of those only a select few will EVER claim a pride of their own (perhaps 10% of male lions born). All those coalition lions have to eat, and they do, often by kicking other predators off kills which males are better suited for. Male lions claim at least as much food as female lions through kills and theft from other predators.

In the full text of the study quoted in the video, the scientists also indicate that much of our understanding (and misunderstanding) about female vs. male lions hunting comes from, as you indicate, what is easier and harder to see. And because many male kills may happen in heavier brush, where it's tougher to see them happening (and harder to count and account for), there's much more known about female hunting, and females are thus more known for hunting. Really interesting stuff. Thanks for watching!

So, my question was answered! Thanks soooo much. And when I saw that X-ray of the blood vessels my mind was blown, I would have never imagined that. This video was awesome and you're a great researcher. After what the doctor said that they probably evolved from camouflage first to have that physiological function now, then I can imagine that giraffes may have originally had random camouflage spot patterns like some of the big cats still do, and they may have become more "geometrical" as they were refined for that new vital purpose. And that would explain why the giraffe spots look like if they were "purposely sketched" and not just spots.
@PrestoWildlifeАй бұрын
Honestly, I thought the answer would just be "it's camouflage," so this was such a great surprise. Your question kicked it off! Thanks for watching.

Interesting question, especially considering how the patterns differ among subspecies! I've never even really thought about the WHY. I'll have to look into it.
@SomeoneCommenting8 ай бұрын
@@PrestoWildlife And they're not so "random" either, it's like if the white line dividing the tiles had been nicely drawn with a uniform thickness. You don't see any gap or wrong spot with a line that became too thin or too thick, or a tile that is disproportionately different in size from the neighboring ones. The pattern distribution is so nice through the entire body.
