214 International Women,s Day-women reign everywhere

 

women reign everywhere " Land, Water and Sky." 

          Several species are led by powerful females.-

1. Consider the orca, Earth,s largest predator, found in every ocean on the planet. Orcas live in close-nit matrilineal groups, mothers handing leadership to daughters. Females transfer information about food and social habits to their young, which allows survival in the Anthropocene.

2. We know the lion as the 'king of the jungle'-but, in fact, the lioness calls the shots. A pride of lions, found in Sub Saharan Africa and India, is formed by related females who hunt prey, give birth and rear cubs together.

3. Lions handle defence while lioness bring home the daily bread,

4. Lions leave a pride at four years, forming new groups which thrive only when fierce lionesses join.
