hmm, male lion not really depend on the female lah. When the male becomes an adult, it will have to leave the pack to roam and feed itself, all alone. It is only after he gets a mate, then the female will hunt for him and family. Strangely, it is a very mcp type of thinking, the male lion gets the top priority to eat. However, i believe when the pack is endangered, the male is expected to protect the pack. They are also stronger than the female. Lions take food from hyenas' hunt possibly becoz the lions bully them

Not becoz they lazy or watever, rather, all members of cat family believe in conserving energy.
While most of the cats kill for food, tigers sometimes kill for no reason....
