While the male lion is at the "watering hole" she would be busy with his younger and less strong but more cunning male cousin.
So some of her off spring would be strong, and others weaker but more intelligent.
The male lion thinking all the cubs are his would protect them all.
The female would then accuse the strong male of cheating as she suspects all males to be cunning like the cousin.
It's seen often in the animal kingdom with mammals and the Beeb are now good at recording it in their wildlife programmes.
