Err.. what? It must have been a concidence, if anything the male cubs would usually die to avoid competition. But I think all cubs are killed when another male takes over the pride. But hey, ya' know.. it's nature. Anything can happen. They can get killed by predators, be murdered by the males, be stomped to death, get sick.. It's a tough world out there.

^ You win.

Coincidence. Not all female cubs get bitten by snakes.

Kopa is as real as Kiara is because both are sub-canon and it's all explained here [ viewtopic.php?f=76&t=16161&start=10 ] by DGFone, but never mind that.

And you're aware that there's a high chance that newborn cubs will die before they reach adolescence, right?

If all female cubs died, we'd have no lions.

Are you sure you're not watching the same movie?
