Do some adult male lions kill cubs so the female can reproduce again?

Adult lions taking over a pride always kill the cubs if they can. Good evolutionary reasons for this cruelty. Why invest in progeny that are not genetically yours? The female lions then come into estrus and begin mating again with the lions that killed their cubs.

Do male and female lions look different?
Male lions are different from female because male ones are a lot larger and they have hair around the head but female lions don't. Female lions are also referred to as "lionesses". Also, female lions do most of the hunting in the pride. While the lionesses hunt, the male lions stay near and watch over the cubs. Male lions are also known for being the leaders of the pride. The leader is the one who challenges and fights other male lions from other prides. In a pride, there is a lot more females than males also.

Are lions female?
Not all of them (for obvious reasons). It is easy to distinguish between male and female lions because adult male lions have long fur on their head and neck called a mane, while female lions do not. Males have this because they get into fights over territory with other lions and the fur helps protect their necks in these fights. See the related link for a picture. The male lion is on the left, the female on the right. Well not all of them but there is some female lions between adult lions and male lions. Im been seeing female lions on tv doing stuff like taking care of there kids but not eating cheetas, and other lion family been eating them,
