True. The lioness is the pride of the tribe.
Lions live in prides. The pride is headed by one or two male lions with many female lions and cubs. The male lions role is predominantly to mate with the lionesses and protect the pride. The female lions do bulk of the hunting for the pride. However in case of large prey like a water buffalo or a giraffe, the males too take part in the effort to bring down the prey
Lions are ambush hunters. They hunt as a group. 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.

∙ 15y agoLionesses do the majority of the hunting for their pride, being smaller, swifter and more agile than the males, and unencumbered by the heavy and conspicuous mane, which causes overheating during exertion. They act as a co-ordinated group in order to stalk and bring down the prey successfully. However, if nearby the hunt, males have a tendency to dominate the kill once the lionesses have succeeded and eaten. They are more likely to share with the cubs than with the lionesses, but rarely share food they have killed by themselves. Smaller prey is eaten at the location of the hunt, thereby being shared among the hunters; when the kill is larger it often is dragged to the pride area. There is more sharing of larger kills, [53] although pride members often behave aggressively toward each other as each tries to consume as much food as possible.
