Lions are one of my favourite animals because of their dominance. Its nice
to see the dominant and the others. It reminds me of how we act with our
queens and mayors. These animals don't only take power, they fight to the
death.
Lion couples mate 2.2 times/hour. Surprisingly, their partners hardly ever
fight over mating
Hunting groups usually involve 3 to 8 lionesses moving on a plain in an attempt to get the victims into ambush or block the victims escape route. Males only hunt for themselves when no free lunch is provided by lionesses, hyenas, or other species. Lions hunting in twos and groups have a success rate of 30%, compared to only 17 to 19% for lions hunting singly by daylight. But recent studies indicating that single hunters are about as successful as groups at night. Intoduction by me.
