Eremu is the standing Regis to the Oasis, a civilization within the Expanse, the desert, that is dedicated to the Moon. Eremu's position as Regis means he is regarded as a direct descendant to the Moon's first children and as such has a personal connection with the Moon's spirit and will unlike any other lion. He has remained a stalwart leader over the Oasis for many decades now, but many believe he will soon be joining the Moon's spirit in the sky, as is every lion's journey. These whispers have not gone unheard by the Regis who has doubled the amount of training time he spends with his protégé and son, the Regent Sirocco.

Rabbits can have bad lifes. But Coyotes are truly the ones who have the entire world against them

Imagine being an animal in the Amazon jungle, and in a moment you are relaxing by the river.

Until suddenly you see a capybara ridding a dammed crocodile as if it were a fucking taxi.

"The day I saw a hare come to the river to die"

One day a hare approaches me as I am settling down by the river.

It freezes in front of me, but does not try to run away. So I approach it and hold out my hand, at first it is aggressive, but it lets me caress it. That's when I noticed what happens, is old and thin.

When notices that I am not going to accelerate its end then it lies down in the distance, I leave it alone and go to my tent. But restlessness overcomes me and do a visit. Is no longer afraid of me, lies in the same place completely relaxed. So I accompany it and talk for a while.

That is the look of someone who is seeing its life pass before its eyes, from the first glances towards this valley, to the moment when is no longer afraid of anything. Not a fox, not a hawk, not a wolverine, not even a man.

Then, before leaving, I decide to pay one last visit. Knowing that it doesn't have the strength to move anymore, I give a favor and leave it with a direct view of the river, flowing eternally like time itself.

The next day I remembered: I saw for the first time a hare die of old age.

Apparently the owners of a lion comic account that I sometimes watched have blocked me? I have no idea what tf I did for that.

Dropping here the concepts of rabbits that Cardinal West left in his video of "A Guide to Worldbuilding for Animal societies in xenofiction", although I have my own ideas, the ones he left for free use here still seem to me very interesting and useful for certain elements.

As a note, he wanted to use American cottontail rabbits as a basis for not using Europeans, but that led to a slight biological error. Cottontail rabbits do NOT live in Warrens, nor are they "sociable" like their European cousins. Their behavior is more analogous to typical hare behavior. So it's something to take into account if (like me) you care about building animal societies more closely resembling how they behave in real life.
