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.
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.
What does the male lion do?
The male lions usually protect the pride from any other male lions since if a different lion takes over the pride, the new lion may dispose of the cubs so the lionesses come into season (meaning they can have new cubs) so the new lion can have cubs of his own blood line. The lionesses hunt, not the males, but the males are the first to eat, but sometimes a male lion may be on its own so it will have to hunt by itself. The males' main job (apart from protecting the pride) is to mate with the lionesses, so that cubs are born.
What is a real life cycle of a lion?
The Lions life cycle could be:a. A Lioness raises a litter of pupsb. Female pups stay with the family while the male adolescents are kicked out of the pride by the pride leader Male.c. Adolescent Males wander the forests for nearly 2 years until they are big and strong and can challenge a pride leader Maled. The Adolescent Male will dethrone a pride leader and take over his pridee. The new leader will kill all cubs fathered by the previous leader and pass on his genetic heritagef. After a few years, he will be dethroned by another younger more powerful male lion and will eventually die a slow painful death.The Lions life cycle could be:a. A Lioness raises a litter of pupsb.

The cub starts walking at 10 days old and is introduced to the pride at 4-6 weeks. It is then weaned from the mother from 6 months to 1 year old. It learns to hunt at 11 months old. At 3-4 years old, it produces young and then becomes fully grown at 5-6 years old. A life expectancy of a lion is 20 approximately years.The Lions life cycle could be:a.

How does a lion become a pride leader?
Often they have earned the respect of one another. When a new lion or lioness tries to become part of a pride they would have a fight, possibly to show how strong they are and that they are capable of bringing back the best food. Also if there were two male lion cubs growing together, they would be very well acquainted with one another even as adult lions. This would then mean that they would be joint-leaders of the pride.

What is a lion's life like?
Well first a lion cub is born from a lioness( a female lion). The female does this alone with no lions around. The cubs can't see for a few weeks I think and then they go to the pride. Prides usually have 10-20 members inside them. The leaders of the pride(the males) will either welcome the cubs or kill them. And they grow and grow and grow. If you are a male, you will be kicked out of the pride when 2or 3 years old. You'll have to join another pride. When new lions come(males) they will kill the cubs made with the other males. And you live a life of happy moments and sad times and eventually you'll died. thenks 4 readin'
Does a new male kill his cubs when he takes over a pride?
Frequently a new male in a pride will kill the existing cubs - but they are not "his" cubs, as the question asks, they are the cubs of the previous male.

Do lions mate with their cubs?
Not really.Lion society doesn't run on male-female pairs.The lasting element in lion society is the pride, usually made up mostly of related females and their offspring. Every pride will have one or a couple of resident males, which will mate with any willing female in the Group.But competition for being the resident male in a pride is fierce, and the expected Life of males in the wild is a considerably shorter than that of the females.Male lions never die of old age, they are either killed outright when roving males try to take over their pride, or eventually die after having been chased off.no
What is the role of the father of the lion?
The father lion stays home with the cubs, to keep them safe, while the mother lion goes out hunting for food. The father lion keeps the lion cubs warm, by letting them snuggle up to his mane. If other lions try to invade, the father lion will hide his cub and fight back. He growls, and bares his teeth. Then he shows the invaders how sharp his claws are. He attacks them, scratching and biting, until, either, the father lion is too exhausted and gives in, or dies, or the invaders give in and goes to look elsewhere for non-occupied territory. If the father makes it, he goes back to care for his cub until the mother returns. When the mother returns the father allows the cub to eat his share of the meat first, before the father lion gobbles up the left-overs. In a pride, sometimes the father lion will fight with the leader so he can become the new leader. If he wins, the leader will no longer be leader, and will either find a different pride to be in, create his own pride all over agin, or stay in the same pride as a normal lion. But the father lion will become leader. However, if the father lion loses, he will not be leader. Those are the roles of the father lion. Did that answer your question? I hope so! :)
What is a reproductive strategy of a lion?
A family of females will have cubs by a male lion that fights other males to be the only male breeding with the females. A new incoming male will kill all young cubs belonging to his predecessor.
What animal hunts a lion?
Lions are at the top of their food chain, meaning nothing eats it, but this is not strickly true, it is only true for fully grown lions, not cubs. But sometimes lion cubs can be eaten by jackals, hyenas, leopards, martial eagles and snakes. Also buffaloes, should they catch the scent of lion cubs, often stampede towards the thicket or den where they are being kept, doing their best to trample the cubs to death whilst warding off the lioness. Furthermore, when one or more new malesoust the previous male(s) associated with a pride, the conqueror(s) often kill any existing young cubs, perhaps because females do not become fertile and receptive until their cubs mature or die. no- one
