Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Mating rituals, rebranded as “romantic rejection.” Lions, just like humans, can get rejected. The male lion’s attempt to woo the lioness with a picture of a zebra stripe is relatable. The lioness’s rejection, however, is a reminder that even in the animal kingdom, effort doesn’t always equal success. The routine arrives with confidence, but sometimes it’s just a bunch of noise.
