Best Answer

Before a litter of cubs is born, its mother leaves the pride temporarily and finds a sheltered place for her cubs (such as a cave. or thick reed bed). This is necessary because the older cubs could kill newborns just by playing with them (they are somewhat rough). The newborn cubs are born blind (their eyes don't open for a week) and helpless. Like any mammal, the mother lioness nurses her cubs.

After 6 to 8 weeks, the lioness returns to the pride with her cubs. Now that she is back with the pride, all of the lionesses work together to raise the cubs. They share the duties to nurse, feed, and protect the cubs. The cubs are weaned at 6 to 7 months. The lionesses will sometimes bring a young animal (such as a baby warthog) for the cubs to practice hunting on. Sometimes, the animal gets away.

By 3 years old, male lions are forced to leave the pride, because soon they could be a threat to the dominant males. Lionesses stay with the pride their whole lives, unless they are kicked out or the pride is destroyed, with most members dead.

Clearly, they let their young tug on their mane, Cuddle them, teach them to roar, and teach them to hunt. Oh, and they also bring them food!

They teach their cubs to hunt and live and hide and be safe and in general, survive. The mother takes care of her cub(s) until it/they reach sexual maturity,
Lions look after their babies the same way that humans do: they feed them, keep them safe and they give love and care. The only thing that is different with lions is that they need a bit more of extra safty, the jungle is a dangerous place, but lions are tought and brought up to live with it and like us. We can't imagine any oher way of living.

Lions take of their babies by feeding them milk when they are berly born. They carry them from their mouths and the could some times bit them to hard then the praent lion could make them start bleeding and they could kill them.

Lions are dedicated parents. Female lions hunt and provide food for the cubs. The male lions protect the cubs from danger. The whole pride shares the responsibility of protecting and taking care of the cubs.

However, when a male lion ousts the pride leader and takes over the pride, it is known to kill all cubs in order to father its own set of cubs.

A lion looks after its young by protecting the cubs from predators and by hunting to feed the cubs. The lion also provides training so that the cub learns to hunt.
