SUMMARY

The discussion centers around a presentation on the lion life cycle, accessible at this link. Feedback includes suggestions to avoid colloquialisms, add content on female lions, and clarify the mating cycle and gestation period. The presenter has incorporated a slide on gestation and additional information about lionesses, including a documentary titled "Born Predator." There is also interest expressed in creating similar presentations for other big cats such as cheetahs, leopards, jaguars, and tigers.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of animal behavior and social structures in wildlife.
  • Familiarity with presentation tools like Prezi.
  • Knowledge of basic biological concepts related to reproduction and gestation.
  • Ability to analyze and incorporate feedback into presentations.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the social dynamics of female lions in prides.
  • Learn about the reproductive cycles of big cats, focusing on seasonal vs. non-seasonal heat.
  • Explore documentary filmmaking techniques, particularly in wildlife documentaries.
  • Investigate the life cycles of other big cats, including cheetahs, leopards, jaguars, and tigers.
USEFUL FOR

Educators, wildlife enthusiasts, and anyone interested in animal behavior and presentation skills will benefit from this discussion.

Here is my presentation about the lion life cycle: https://prezi.com/uwvap0ljxdso/lion-life-cycle/ What do you think? Am I missing anything?

Do you think I should do one on cheetahs, 1 on leopards, 1 on jaguars, and 1 on tigers as well?

I'm not sure what the target audience is supposed to be, but in any case I'd avoid colloquialisms - perhaps you could find more formal/neutral substitutes for 'kicked out' and 'had enough'? 'Chased away' and 'spent' for example.
There's also a bit of too much focus on the male, I feel. Isn't there anything that you could include in parallel about females? How their position in the group changes, what dynamics are there as she grows older etc.
Also, while I learned something about how the mating happens and how long the heat lasts, I don't know when females actually are in heat. Is it seasonal? Once per year?
You could add a slide or a note about gestation period.
 
Okay I have added a slide about gestation and a few slides about lionesses including a video Born Predator which is a documentary of a nomadic lioness Miata and her cub Moja. The lioness in a pride slide talks about the composition of a lion pride and what the lionesses do in a pride. I have also edited the mating one to include that lionesses are not seasonal when it comes to whether or not they are in heat.

I truly enjoyed your presentation, I'd certainly appreciate if you made for other big cats :smile:
