What are the details of a lion?

Lions are very large. They live in prides, or a group of lions. Each pride has 4-66 lionesses and one male. Males, once grown, have a mane on their neck and head, and a tuft of fur on the end of their tail. Females do not. Females, or lionesses, are a bit smaller than a male. Lions can range from colors of tawny to pale yellow. They can be white. They hunt on wilebeest, gazelle, impala, antelope, African Buffalo, and much more. Females mainly do the hunting. Lion prides in Africa usually range from three to ten lionesses, sometimes more. Prides are ruled by one to sometimes four males, usually brothers. Male lions can hunt successfully, as if not associated with a pride they must do their own hunting to survive.
