Do lions fight for there pride and do they keep there cubs and lionesses safe and if the lion dies do the lionesses fight?
== == A male lion will fight for the territory and as a result the pride is protected from other male lions. Lionesses will protect the pride from any other danger. If a wandering male lion stumbles on the pride without facing the territorial male, then the lionesses will most certainly try to chase it away in fear that this visitor will kill the cubs. This 'nomad' has not earned the right to be on this territory. The noise of this encounter will bring the territorial male back to the pride in a rush and a fight will break out. If the 'nomad' lion wins the fight then he will find any other competition (other male lions in the pride) and chase them away, and will also kill the cubs. Lionesses can not hold off a fully grown male lion. In this situation, the new male will take over the pride and will protect the territory and the pride from then on. He will kill all the cubs fathered by the previous male so that he can father his generation. However, if the territorial lion dies outside of a territorial fight, there is no clarity of how the lionesses will react to a new lion. If there are no cubs to protect, then the lionesses will probably complain vocally but accept the lion without a fight.

male lions r the leaders and r typicaly very lazy. they do not do the hunting and just take the most reward in the kill of the lionesess. the lionesses r the hunting and babymaking role players and when a kill is made they eat second (after the male). only one full grown male is alowed in a pride (unless there are ruling brothers.. ..... rare tho). a alpha male will kill the cubs of another male and kill that male also in an attempt to only allow his lineage to live on. cubs eat last and for this reason many die at a young age. most of the food is already gone at the time the cubs eat and if they are males (that have the alpha male as their father) they will be driven from the pride as the reach maturity and forced to start their own pride.
