Defeated Male Leaves refers to a drawing of a skinny male lion retreating, illustrated by an orange arrow underneath it and the caption "defeated male leaves." The image comes from a 2008 issue of the National Wildlife Federation's Ranger Rick's Zoobooks about lions. The page containing the image was posted online in 2020 and a crop containing just the lion and the caption became popularized in image macros in April 2021.
