SAN DIEGO, Dec. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) Karen C. Drayer Wildlife Health Center, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife recently rescued three orphaned mountain lion cubs. The cubs—approximately 6 weeks old at the time of their rescue—were each found separately following an extensive search over the span of a week. Each cub was treated in the field for dehydration before being taken to Paul Harter Veterinary Medical Center at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Because the young lions were orphaned at an early age, they cannot be safely reintroduced into their native habitat. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife designated the San Diego Zoo Safari Park as a safe haven for the rescued cubs, offering them a second chance and lifelong care.

But when one of the most tracked male lions in Kenya’s famous Masaai Mara was killed on 24 July 2023 the world took notice.

Key Points: 
  • But when one of the most tracked male lions in Kenya’s famous Masaai Mara was killed on 24 July 2023 the world took notice.
  • Known as Jesse, he was killed during a fight with a coalition of three male lions from a rival pride, drawing attention to the brutally risky and dangerous lives of male lions.
  • In the public imagination, male lions are better known by their popularised image as kings of the jungle.
  • One in two male lions die in the first year of life.
  • From the moment a male lion is born it faces a gauntlet of challenges – from snakebite and hungry hyenas to infanticide at the hands of other male lions.

The trials of a young lion

    • A young male lion’s biggest threat is his exposure to other male lions that aren’t their father or uncle.
    • This involves incoming males seeking out and killing the cubs of other males or driving young males away, and attempting to take over prides.
    • Killing cubs accelerates the onset of oestrus in pride females and so is likely to increase the reproductive success of incoming males.
    • Most lions that get pushed out of their pride when very young don’t survive.

Three laws of the wild

    • These are the three tenets most male animals live and die by in the animal kingdom and this could not be truer for male lions.
    • When male lions are in the prime of their lives somewhere between 5 and 9 years of age they will attempt to have as many cubs as they can.
    • And they will do their best to protect and guard over as many prides as possible.

For conservation: look to the lionesses

    • When it comes to the conservation of the lion species it is important to look to the lionesses.
    • They are the sentinels of a populations health, specifically the number of animals in a group, and more importantly the ratio of lionesses to lions.
    • The story of Jesse highlights how, in spite of their status as king of the beasts, lions are vulnerable.
