Why are lionesses the ones who hunt in a pride of lions?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Imagine a large family where up to 30 lions live together. This is called a pride \u2014 a lion\u2019s \u00abcommunity.\u00bb It has 2-3 adult males with lush manes, several lionesses, and small lion cubs. And guess what? It\u2019s not the strong males that go hunting, but the lionesses!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is that? Because a lioness is a more skilled hunter. She is lighter, faster, and doesn\u2019t have that big mane that can be seen in the grass from a kilometer away. And a male makes a frightening appearance! His mane and loud roar (it can be heard from 8 kilometers away!) scare away other lions and protect the pride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lionesses hunt in teams \u2014 like real football players. Some hide in the grass on the sides, while others simply chase an antelope or zebra into an ambush. Together they catch even prey that weighs more than themselves! It is almost impossible to catch a large antelope alone, but together it is a common thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when the mother lioness brings dinner, first the adult males eat. Then the other lionesses. And only at the end the lion cubs. It would seem unfair! But that's how nature works: a strong father lion must be well-fed to protect the whole family from other lions and hyenas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lion cubs live with their mother for three years. Young males are then expelled from the pride - they have to find their own family. And young lionesses often stay with their mother forever. So it turns out that the pride is a real female family, protected by their father and brothers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
