Answer:
Yes because a female is faster than a male.
Answer:
To the first answer: There is no evidence of this. All domestic cats can run at 30mph, although some cats will be faster or slower than this. This depends on the cat's build, not its gender.
Likewise, a cat's individual personality and hunting skill will dictate whether it is a good hunter or not, not the gender.

Male lions are different from female because male ones are a lot larger and they have hair around the head but female lions don't. Female lions are also referred to as "lionesses". Also, female lions do most of the hunting in the pride. While the lionesses hunt, the male lions stay near and watch over the cubs. Male lions are also known for being the leaders of the pride. The leader is the one who challenges and fights other male lions from other prides. In a pride, there is a lot more females than males also.

No. The male lion is not a successful hunter. Female lions are much more successful hunters. The males are wandering, and share meals with any pride that happens to be within their ever-changing territory. Male lions do hunt, and quite successfully. After being driven from their pride at sexual maturity, young males often form "bachelor" prides. These nomads roam until fully mature, when they can attempt to take over a pride. In the mean time, they must hunt and scavenge what they can to survive. Although not as skilled as the lioness, males can and do hunt. A male driven from his pride by three interlopers was seen to kill topi, wildebeest, and buffalo calves for a period of two years before he left the research area.
