I find it really amusing that he does not realise that a male lion (or just lion) is a tad hairier than a lioness

*realize

Also, the term "lion" is unisex when referring to the animal alone. If you want to refer to a particular female lion, you can say "lioness" instead of "female lion."

You wouldn't look at a pride of lions and say, "there's a bunch of lions and lionesses."

My comment was directed at the fact that the youtuber put "him/her" in the comment when the lion is clearly a lioness. I know that lions are collectively known as, well, lions.

And *realise

Edit; Just to add, in case you hadn't realised, realise (and realised, organise, maximise, synchronise, etc) is spelt with an 's' over here. The 'z' is the American version of it.

The British way!

And Australian...

And New Zealand.

And basically the way of any country with writes in the style of English (UK) not English (US)

Americans like to butcher the English language.

I think it was more or less another way of Rebelling against you guys, saying that we are our own people, and that we don't need your traditions, that or I'm over analyzing this, and it's just a coincidence.

It makes me laugh though. At least we're consistent with our odd spellings :D

I love how the comments above me are arguing about the sex of the lion given the context of a lion trying to eat a baby.

True lolbrarians.
