Male lions are rather reticent about expanding their energy in hunting. More than three quarters of kills are made by lionesses who are in front, tensely scanning ahead, the cubs lag playfully behind and the males bring up the rear, walking slowly, their massive heads nodding with each step as if they were bored with the whole matter. But slothfulness may have survival value. With lionesses busy hunting, the males function as guard for the cubs, protecting them particularly from hyenas.

Laws of nature are not commands but statements of facts. The use of the word "law" in this context is rather unfortunate. It would be better to speak of uniformities in nature. This would do away with the elementary fallacy that a law implies a law giver. If a piece of matter does not obey a law of nature, it is punished. On the contrary, we say that the law has been incorrectly stated.
The author is not happy with word 'law' because
it connotes rigidity and harshness
it implies an agency which has made them
it does not convey the sense of nature's uniformity
