Blue, it is true lions don't rape. But they practice infanticide, for reasons having everything to do with sex (that is, with perpetuating their genes). The females emphatically do not welcome this -- but (like rape) there is nothing they can do about it. Infanticide -- killing the progeny of rival males, even of rival females -- is fairly common in the animal kingdom. The reason rape is less common (I am not sure it is TOTALLY unknown)is quite simple: 1) males are not drawn to females that are not in estrus, and 2) if the female IS in estrus, she will probably not resist an approach.
