"Lion sex is interesting to watch, but I fear that admission may tell you more about me than about them. So here is why it is interesting. many mammals, including humans, have regular estrus cycles, but lions have a different system. After cubs are weaned the female becomes interested in sex again and flirts outrageously with the male, wrapping her tail around his head and other things that are pretty unmistakable, even to a human observer. The happy couple then starts having sex - over and over and over again. Lions are stimulated ovulators; the female does not ovulate until she is stimulated to do so by lots of sex. As a result lions will mate roughly every 15 to 20 minutes for two or three days—200 to 300 times in succession. During that period they are inseparable and will not hunt or eat. They still need to drink but this is a bit problematic because if the male goes to drink then another male may sneak in. The regularity of the mating process is great for a photographer, because lion sex is over very fast. Although they surely win the prize for the number of repetitions, each time only takes a minute or so. You have to be all ready to get a good picture." (extracto de un artículo del DR. NATHAN MYHRVOLD que preside y gestiona la empresa Intellectual Ventures, y que encontré casualmente en Edge. ¡Hay fotos!).
En todo caso, aparte de que estas similitudes se establecen en las circunstancias apropiadas, se debe entender que, lamentablemente para ellos (según se mire, y para sus mujeres, según se mire), a los filósofos lo que les cuesta soltar son la lectura y la escritura así como dejar de pensar... ni siquiera en el caso de que les sobrevenga un ataque de sed. Por lo demás...
