Singly or, more effectively, in a pack. Loinesses do the majority of the hunting, males pirate their food from the females. The males only become involved in the hunt when the prey is too large for the lionesses to bring down. Most times,females work alone but with other females so they dont have to take orders for the males. but at times when the females need more help the all go and look for male and one will mate.
Lions can catch their food by camouflaging in the golden grass, since it matches the color of their fur, and leap at their prey when the prey doesn't see the lion.
A lion is an ambush hunter, they have 2 or 3 lionesses come in, and break up the herd, guiding them towards the others in the pride. They then (almost instantly) find the weak, and single them out. Then another lioness attacks, trying to scatter the herd more, often completely separating the individual from the herd. Another pair of lionesses then moves in to head the unlucky beast off, and then, if successful it is tackled, and pinned down as the others arrive.

A killing bite is inflicted on it's throat, sometimes just a pair of small holes that pierced an artery, sometimes (on Cape Buffalo), they strangle it because the hide is to thick to pierce. Rarely do they exert their potential, for fear of damaging their teeth.

Normally the alpha never lifts a foot when capturing a meal, only when tackling big prey like the Cape Buffalo the male's strength is needed. His primary job is to protect the pride from rival males, and hunting means risk of injury, which is bad for the entire pride.

Only about 3 out of 10 hunts end in a kill.
a mountain lion first put his month on their prys neck and twist it until they cant breath that's how they kill it (he's the best animalll)

as a pride
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.
