Everyone is smiling about this lion trying to eat a baby on live TV

Human babies are not fair game nor a good meat source

See, most animals in the jungle have this thing called litter, where a single female of the species will give birth to several babies in one go. Those babies will usually mature fast enough to be able to walk and run in a few days, sometimes in just a few minutes.

On the other hand, most human females just have one kid per birth, two at the most; more is usually considered freakish and weird and rabbit-like. And they’re quite hard to raise, as they’re not as independent as other species’ babies.

So it’s mostly a numbers thing. Now, if that woman has had octuplets… well, there’s no problem with feeding a handful of them to the lion, as it would cut costs in food, education, housing and clothing.
