about a few hours after birth.
Baby lion cubs typically start to become independent from their mothers at around 2 years of age. They gradually learn to hunt and fend for themselves with guidance from the pride.
Lion cubs start hunting at young ages to grow the skills needed. Without preparation, then other animals would outhunt them, causing them to starve. However, the male lion cubs will eventually stop hunting and simply fight over females, leaving the female lionesses to hunt together.
Lion cubs typically start practicing hunting skills around 6-9 months of age by stalking and pouncing on prey in play. They remain dependent on their mother for hunting and feeding until around 18 months of age, when they start participating in actual hunts with the pride. Full independence in hunting is usually achieved around 2-3 years of age.
Lion cubs typically live with their pride until they are around two years old. At that age, they start to become more independent and may eventually leave the pride to establish their own territory and pride.
Baby lion cubs typically start by nursing from their mother for the first few months of their life. As they grow older, they transition to eating meat that is regurgitated by the mother or provided by other members of the pride. By six months of age, lion cubs begin to actively participate in hunting with the pride.

Lion cubs typically start learning how to hunt from around 6 months of age, but they don't fully master the skills until they are around 2 years old. They initially practice stalking and pouncing on insects, small lizards, and birds provided by their mother.
Three years old lion is usually full-grown but considered adolescent. A male's mane starts to grow somewhere between the second and third year. A 5 years old male has a full grown mane, and a male is usually capable of challenging another male no sooner than around the age of four or five years. A female can't have cubs before the age of 4. So, I'd reckon generally taken a lion's adulthood starts around four years.
Lion cubs are born without visible teeth. They typically start to develop their baby teeth around three weeks of age, and by six months, they have most of their adult teeth coming in. This gradual development allows them to begin eating solid food as they grow.
Often they start walking when they are a few hours old.
Lion cubs typically start participating in hunts with their pride around 1 to 2 years of age. They first observe and learn from the adults before gradually participating in smaller hunts as they grow and develop their hunting skills.
Lion cubs are weaned at 6-7 months of age but stay with the mother until they are 2-3 years of age.
As many as 80% of the lion cubs will die before the age of two.
