Except with lions, it's the older males that lose the fight to the younger invading males. It has nothing to do with genetics and everything to do with age. The ironic bit is that the younger lions will be driven off before their cubs grow to maturity, and their cubs will be killed too. Lions only have a 20% chance of reaching maturity, and the number one killer is other lions.
