Just like domestic kitty cats, a lion knows its territory because of scent. A male marks his territory with urine, which is a message for all other lions to stay away. Lions can smell lionesses' urine markings, too, so he knows where his pride travels. When a teenage lion trespasses on a dominant lion's territory, the dominant lion will fight to show the other lion who is boss. The loser must leave the territory.
Though all cats have keen eyesight, it is scent that is the most powerful sense. You know how you can tell your mom's favorite perfume-- well, a lion's sense of smell is thousands of times stronger than a human nose.
