To prevent inbreeding, young males are driven out as they mature, forming partnerships with other young males, then working together to take over a pride of their own. Most prides have more than one male, and some have up to four.
Yes. The male does not usually involve in hunting. But at times, when the pride needs to bring down a huge prey like a wild buffalo or giraffe the male lion may use its mammoth size and strength to help the pride kill the prey

An unrelated group of lions is called a “sault” or “troop”. A group of all male lions believe it or not is refered to as a “coalition“! Only a related family of male and female lions is a “pride”. Never a ”pack of lions”! Families or Socialized Groups of Canines are “Packs”.
Lions dont have to court one another. When females lions come to heat, the male lions that head the pride get the privilege to mate with them. Only the male leader of the pride can mate with the females of the pride and nobody else. By virtue of being the pride leader, the male lion gets the opportunity to mate with all the females in the group
They are all lion's, there is only one alpha male and one alpha female. ----------------------------- Pride is to lions as herd is to cows, as flock is to birds.
Usually, only the dominant male of the pride urinates around the pride's territory. This is the mark out the territory as the pride's to keep away unwanted strangers, and also serves as a warning to other animals how strong the pride is.
Lions are very loyal to their pride. All of them will work together to raise young and defend territory. Lions love their fellow pride members and often show affection. The only time a lion is not loyal to its pride is when it's kicked out.

No. A lion is a male. A lioness is a female lion. Lion is also a name for the whole species. Yes. They're called hermaphrodites, it means they have sex characteristics of both sexes. However, the gender can only be male or female, and can be shown by which behaviors they take on in the pride.

Lions are one of the only "social" big cats as they prefer to live in groups called "prides". Female lions are usually always in a pride unless for some reason they are banned from the group. Male lions usually have to leave the pride once they become adolescents that can challenge the Male pride leader(s). There can be more than one adult male lion in a pride but only one is supposed to mate with the females and produce offspring.

A single lion pride can have one or two male lions. 10 or more female lionesses are known to be a part of the pride. Apart from them there can be numerous cubs and adolescents in a pride. Prides with upto 3 male lions have been seen and recorded but the usual male number in a pride is one or at most two. Lions hunt as a group/pride. They stay low and hidden and go near an unsuspecting prey like a Gazelle or a Zebra and then once sufficiently close, they sprint and take down the prey. All animals of the pride take part in the hunt
There is no strict leader in prides, but the dominance is usually up to males who live in groups of around 3-4 per pride or in separate coalitions of even higher. It's not unusual for females to assume dominance sometimes, particularly in captivity. Any other hierachy is normally reserved for eating - cubs need the least as they can get their mother's milk, but males will step aside in dire times.The alpha-male lion
