I know that one data point doesn't make for a proof in scholarly discourse, but it'd sure help me to convince my friends that lions scavenge more than hyenas do. <i>:wink:</i><br /><br />Regarding the implication that "Disney aside, you eat, are eaten, and/or reproduce. In two words you could argue that the process of living, from <i>[to]?</i> sex, to eating, to death involves combinations of chasing and fleeing," I imagine citing a poet could possibly bring a biologist into more disrepute than a single-element data set, but T.S. Eliot's couplet<br /><br /><i>Birth, and copulation, and death<br />That's all the facts when you come to brass tacks</i><br /><br />does support the premise of the above, that life is but sex and death—although Eliot added birth and left out eating, which gets you <i>chasing</i> but not fleeing, unless you add some qualifier to <i>death,</i> like the previous lines from the same verse play<br /><br /><i><b>SWEENEY: </b>I'll be the cannibal<br><b>DORIS: </b> I'll be the missionary!<br>I'll convert you!<br><b>SWEENEY: </b> I'll convert <b>you!</b><br>Into a stew.<br>A nice, little white, missionary stew.</i><br /><br />Pardon my silliness (and references to poet who, for all his originality and beauty, held horrific social and political views). I'm happy to see a new post here and an anxious to read news of the hyenas in the Mara. Thank you for providing these accounts of and insights into the life of the fauna there.Bud Moranshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10243336191492279726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7819688123764229065.post-67404473879603660572011-09-18T01:25:02.503+03:002011-09-18T01:25:02.503+03:00Nice, Zach!
