Is it not true that there's only one mating male in each pride, and that the others are exiled into bachelor groups?

In any case, there are many examples in nature where a small percentage of the males do a very disproportionate amount of the mating.

Indeed. It isn’t uncommon for brothers to handle a pride and share the mates. I’m not making any claims about nature trends in general, merely that your lion example is inaccurate and therefore takes away from the argument.
