1. With recognition that there are many things that may to me - child reader of Born Free and other such things seem like common knowledge, and not to others, here is how lion prides work. Just to clarify, no one is saying "The Lion King" can't exist or be enjoyed, just that knowing it is not a reliable source on lions is helpful. (I have also never encountered a singing bug.

Winning athletes is a small part of the rewards we have seen. Oh also, pay them. Pay the women.
