" We now know that the human animal is characterized by two great fears that other animals are protected from: the fear of life and the fear of death...
The basic anxiety of humanity is anxiety about being-in-the-world, as well as anxiety of not being-in-the-world.
That is, both fear of death and fear of life, of experience and individuation."
Ernest Becker

Despite they are great hunters, the lions don't need to make any effort to feed themself.

The prove? here:

Actually, brit, they have no fear of death. They only run because the 'boss' is telling them to run. Unexperienced animals stay where they are, until it's too late.

I beg to differ... All animals must also suffer from "fear of death".. Otherwise, why would the Wilderbeast run from the Lion ?

I like to think of fear as unknown variable (be it noise, situation etc) + context = fear. Once you turn the unknown to a known, most fears are gone...:)

smile lots laugh more

Bad choice, drac. If that's a female cat it's 'curiosity', not 'fear'!
