Lions, and Tigers, and Bears, OH MY!
If you’ve ever seen the classic 1939 film The Wizard of Oz, you know that Bert Lahr’s heartwarming performance as the Cowardly Lion does not help the reputation of the lion as being a powerfully ferocious creature. In the film, the cowardice of the Lion was considered so strange that Dorothy was convinced that he could only be cured by the magic of The Wizard.
So, are real lions actually brave? Out on the plains of Africa, some lions courageously protect their territory as well as their family. However, others are heroic only some of the time. Yet researchers have found that still other lions are cowardly enough to always steer clear of the most dangerous risk – fighting with other lions! Therefore, lions are not all brave, despite the public perception that has even put the word “lionhearted” into the Merriam Webster dictionary.
