    New evidence suggests that the old ‘male lions just eat what the females provide’ trope is inocrrect.

        “New” is a relative term.

          On the timescale of lion evolution, this information literally just came to light.

      Did you really just direct link a PDF download?

        Unless your browser is poopy, it should just open the pdf in the browser without saving it as a file.

          When in reality, the browser just downloads it, then opens it.

            How else should it even be possible? Obviously every browser needs to download it and 100 % too.

              It could put it in a temporary cache that’s deleted when you close it

            Yeah smarty pants obviously it has to download the data, but by default it shouldnt permanently store it as a file in your download folder. Files like this should go into a tmp file or only into RAM.

              I’d check if I was you. I think both Chrome and Firefox keep it in downloads folder

                Idk about default Firefox, but both Fennec on Android and Librewolf on Desktop do not permanently save it.

                Yes, obviously. That’s what we have a problem with.

              Except a webpage isn’t exactly stored on the computer. JS and CSS files are cached. Images also, but not HTML. So no, not like a web page.

                By default any HTTP response is cached, including HTML.

            Downloads it? Yes. Save as a file? No, atleast not permanently

              Yeah, usually in downloads folder for Firefox. I think Chrome is the same.

            It has to download any content it shows you, whether that’s a web page, pdf, or anything else. It can’t just magically know what to display without downloading it. Whether it stores it permanently is another question. Most browsers don’t do this. If yours does there’s probably a setting for that, or it’s just a really bad browser.

          Firefox mobile downloads it first, then you have to tap “open”.

          MJ PDF is better than pdf.js.

      This doesn’t answer the primary concern though. Do male lions have the same hunt participation rate after being in a pride? All this paper talks about is strategy. Everyone knows male lions hunt, they have to before they get a pride. But what about after? Do they hunt at the same rate? Or just stop altogether?
