Living habits of African lions

1, they can live in harmony. The core of the pride is four or five lionesses, who grew up together and are closely related by blood. The lioness allows the newborn cubs of other lionesses to eat their own milk, which is rare in mammals. The females of most other mammals will never tolerate their young.

2. The lioness is mainly responsible for hunting, and the male lion generally defends the territory (the male lion has110 to hunt with the lioness, such as large prey, and competes with hyenas for food). Like all cats, females are smaller than males. In a group of lions, there are about 9-20 lions, including many adult lionesses, 2 adult lions and several cubs. Lions and other cats have similar living habits. They spend most of their time lying horizontally or vertically in the shade of trees.

3. The hunting in the lion is basically done by female members. When they cooperate, the success rate of hunting is much higher than that of other cats. They may attack day and night, but the success rate is higher at night, especially in the dark night. Always quietly surround the prey from all sides, gradually narrowing the encirclement, some are responsible for driving away the prey, while others are waiting for an ambush. Although this move looks great, the success rate of their solo hunting is as high as 20%. If the hunting grounds are easier to hide, they will be more likely to succeed. If they are full, they won't have to hunt for five or six days.
