The number varies but usually there are 20-30 cats in a pride. Usually there is only one male in a pride, more than one is rarely seen. Usually the only time there are more than one males in the pride is when there are male cubs. The lions coopoorate by the females hunting for food and sharing it with the pride while the male protects the pride.

there can be a large amount of cubs in a pride, but most of them would belong to different mothers. a single lioness can have up to 4 cubs, the amount of cubs in a pride depends on how many lionesses there are and how many cubs they usually have.

Do lions nurture their young?

Yes. Lion cubs stay with their families for two to three years. At that point male lions are evicted from the pride. If the pride has become too large, female cubs may also be evicted. Sub-adults of both sexes will be evicted if new males take over the pride as the new male(s) will have no tolerance for cubs that are not his own.
