I like this answer, especially since even within the pride, the "king" is a rather lazy creature. Perhaps that is the answer. He is not king because of his ferocious nature, but rather because he has the lionesses doing all the serf work, while he lays around appearing to be on a throne surveying his kingdom.

I don't care who kills the most people or who has the best marketing team, I think elephants are the true kind of beats, they are big, smart, remember everything and take care of their family. Elephants are best of course besides Chelonia.

hippos kill more ppl in aftican than lions, hyenas, and crocs combined! they are also very shy, and spook easily. Our 3 scardy cats testify to that, took 2 months to get our big male to not spook by the new drain cover in his path to hab!
