>The idea that a male lion on taking over the pride assassinates his predecessors' cubs to protect his own
progeny's primacy is unbearably romantic. That such infanticide occurs may be true, but I cannot believe that a
lion understands the reproductive process enough to engage in such rational thought.<

Huh? Why is rational thought required? The male simply kills the cubs that smell wrong. 100% instinct.
