They growl, roar, snarl, scent-mark, and challenge intruders and tresspassers. They stalk prey, chase prey, and leap on prey to bite the neck and kill them.

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.
Are all lionesses pride related?
