The Lion Pride

A myth submitted to the site by Eitan Spiewak

savanna, south africa

Do you know how lions got such big canines?

One day a pride of lion’s female adults decided to go on a hunt. Everything was going exactly as planned they had picked out a perfect buffalo to attack.

When the first lioness attacked the buffalo she couldn’t sink her small teeth into the buffalo and all the lionesses had tried and failed. When all the lionesses had tried except one young lioness named Esther with big canines, she took one bite at the throat and succeeded and all the lionesses started cheering even the males did when they heard the great news that they can now have meat.

From then on the lionesses would first bring the animals down then let Esther suffocate the animal. The pride was so healthy and all the other predators were so jealous because the pride could hunt. Once Esther had a baby and it also had big teeth and from then on she could only babies and that is why lions have such big canines.
