I am not making this up.
This is their legit theory on while the female lion killed her baby daddy.
The zoo said in a statement on Friday that Nyack, a 10-year-old male African lion, had died after staff found him held in a tight grip by Zuri, a 12-year-old female, hours before the zoo opened last Monday. The two big felines had been together in the same habitat for eight years, breeding three cubs in 2015.
We consider this to be very rare,” said David Hagan, a curator for the Indianapolis Zoo. “It was a total shock to the animal care team.”
The staff began to reach out to wildlife researchers and experts on lion behavior immediately after the incident to try to make sense of the rare occurrence.
Craig Packer, head of the Lion Center at the University of Minnesota, was one of their first calls.
“What I understand from the zoo is that this was a very unusual male and an unusual female,” Packer said in an interview on Monday. “The male was very weak and submissive, and the female was very dominant of the male.”
“It’s almost as if [the male lion] was just too wimpy, like some sort of metrosexual, and he didn’t live up to the macho standard of male lion behavior,” he said.
