Lions live in prides. The pride is headed by one or two male lions with many female lions and cubs. The male lions role is predominantly to mate with the lionesses and protect the pride. The female lions do bulk of the hunting for the pride. However in case of large prey like a water buffalo or a giraffe, the males too take part in the effort to bring down the prey

Lions are ambush hunters. They hunt as a group. They stay low and hidden and go near an unsuspecting prey like a Gazelle or a Zebra and then once sufficiently close, they sprint and take down the prey. All animals of the pride take part in the hunt.

How do lions find their way home?

Lions hunt in packs and they are ambush hunters. They spread out in the grasslands merging with the canopy away from the sights of their prey.

If the prey starts running, usually they would have backup in the other directions so that the other lions can tackle the prey and bring it down.
