A lion pride is a social group of lions that typically consists of related females, their cubs, and a few adult males. The females usually stay in the pride for life, while males may leave when they reach maturity to find their own territory. This social structure helps with hunting and raising young, as the females often work together to catch prey. Pride members communicate through vocalizations, body language, and scent marking. They often rest and groom each other, strengthening social bonds. The pride's territory is defended against intruders, ensuring access to resources like food and water, which are vital for survival in the wild.
