Fun fact: All living Equines have the phenotype for stripes.

[@jk-2053]

As an infant, you spend most of your time sleeping, drinking, pooping, and just staring or crying. You're also learning language slowly but surely. You're entirely dependent on your parents, so you don't really get to choose what you experience in your day-to-day, but it's not necessarily hard to keep you occupied with your low standards at this age. As a child, you still spend a lot of time sleeping and eating, but now you can speak. Much like your adult counterpart, you spend your time either at work or at play, with more work and less play the poorer you are, and vice versa for the rich. Play is rather complex, often involving socializing as you're a social species, but recently your species has developed a form of socialization done digitally. As for work, this can range from nothing at all, to just chores, to helping a family business, to going to school so you can do a different kind of work when you're older, to a low-paying job with long hours and poor working conditions that you're forced into due to financial circumstances, tho I wonder how likely such a kid is actually to spend their little off time reading this instead of with their family or friends. As a teen, your life is like that of a child but with some more responsibilities, but often more freedom too. You're more capable and experienced, so you know how to get what you want using the resources you have, or taking what you want if you don't have the resources needed to get it, or just longingly thinking about it if you can't get it. What you want is often impacted partly by what others want since you're a social species, and even going against the trend is just part of another trend. You're also undergoing more physical changes, causing you to be moodier than before. You're more rebellious, exploratory, and adventurous, but at the end of the day, you're still split between work and play, though play may now include playing with your peers in other ways. As an adult, you may still keep in contact with you family or even live with them, but you're now seen as fully responsible for your actions. You sleep, eat, work, and play like before, tho your play now includes legally doing certain things you couldn't legally do before. As an elderly, you're not quite as spry as before, but you can still be rather capable depending on your lifestyle and any major injuries you've sustained. Soon, you forget to throw away that banana peel and drop it, forget that you just dropped it and step on something slippery and... well, you had a good run. Insert some jokes, more details, some other stuff, and voila! Human life in a nutshell.

⁠@@smugreptile6695 A single adult female is capable of taking down a wildebest. They aren't the pushovers that people for whatever reason seem to be convinced they are. They don’t guard kills because there isn’t much of a point to risk sepsis it when your solo success rate of huting starts at 49.9% and goes to 58%. Which for the record, is only beaten by the Blackfooted cat at 60%, as far as lone predators go, and a lion pride sits at a comfortable 20-25%, which is still higher than then leopard that has about a 10% succes rate afaik. The only real thing that’s shit about them is the about of cubs that make it to adulthood, but to be fair, even the superpredator felids don’t have too hot statistics if you ask me, and for lions this is factoring in interspecies help. And this is even more insanely succesful when you consider that all the modern cheetahs are descendant from a very small number of cheetahs. Oh and before I forget- about 10 cheetahs *have* been succesfuly introdouced in India, afaik far away from the Asiatic lions. People are judging cheetahs through the rulesets of chess while they are actually playing poker They aren't secret supersayan’s of course, but people are doing them dirty for no reason.
