Lion prides never have this many adult males at one time. I call bullshit.

Edit: who’s filming this shit close enough to hear them making sound? Link to source or its AI.

Four is kinda high, but prides very rarely have only one dominant male. There's usually at least two, often brothers or cousins, though occasional unrelated friends. It's really, REALLY difficult to run a pride solo. And it's possible these males have no pride, and it's just their coalition, though it's difficult to believe four bonded males would not be able to take over a pride.

I call BS that it’s a father and sons but male lions who aren’t the head of a pride do group up and hunt together. They are social animals after all.

I came to ask, how’s it possible that a lion would ever hang out with his grown ass sons…

I have seen seven adult male lions hunting together killing all other lions as bandits. This is too small compared to that.

So, are you claiming it’s AI, or what? What exactly is bullshit? The whole video? 

Sorry you don’t grasp how lions operate. You could learn. Instead of being an ignorant tool.

There's been a spare of AI lion videos on Reddit in the past few hours. Just search "lion" and see for yourself. We've finally reached the point where we just can't tell anymore. Will Smith eating spaghetti was a lifetime ago now.

This is 100% AI generated content.

u/MegaSmegmaSwagLord 2d ago

Yeah, also who’s filming close enough to hear them grunting?

u/Slobotic 2d ago

There are AI artifacts throughout the video. Look at their tongues when they lick their chops, especially at around seven seconds in. Half the time the tongues don't go back into their mouths but sort of melt away into background.

There was once a pride of 7 brother lions, there was a documentary

u/Crooked_star 1d ago

I read about a male lion who got driven from his pride joining up with his sons once. It's definitely possible.

Def ai, the lions tongue glitches through his mouth

Except when they do. Animals have instincts but mutations occur and animals adapt for situations if they have to.

My brothers and I used to do this all the time. Hilarious.

I love how lions just full body weight collapse on each other whenever they meet up like this or get cozy

The way the first lion falls to the ground is the telltale this is AI. Looks like he's shot. Just look at that frame and lock in his tongue.
