Ask McFartnuggets: “If Lions Are The Kings of The Jungle, Who Are The Queens?”

Why do jungles even
have a monarchy?

Dear McFartnuggets: 

People always say that lions are the king of the jungle so who are the queens of the jungle? Are there queens of the jungle? Is the queen of the jungle a female lion? That would be weird to have lions be both the kings and queens of the jungle. If that’s the case why not just say lions are the royal family of the jungle? The monarchs of the jungle. Why not just say that instead of using the word “King” like that’s the greatest there is. Queens are important too. This is just another way the world is so sexist and misogynistic toward women. No one even cares that there’s no queen of the jungle. Why am I the only one who ever wants clarification on this issue? -- Steven from Montana

Dear Steven:

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh… I don’t think it’s THAT big of a deal, but according to a cursory Google search I’ve discovered that the queen of the jungle is a comic book character named Sheena. Sheena was actually the world’s first heroine with her own comic book. If you’re looking for a royal animal queen that exists in real life I would have to say a cougar. That would make sense considering how sexually active old women are called cougars. Thanks for the question.
