Normally 1-2 male lions, and 5-6 female lions
Lions dont have to court one another. When females lions come to heat, the male lions that head the pride get the privilege to mate with them. Only the male leader of the pride can mate with the females of the pride and nobody else. By virtue of being the pride leader, the male lion gets the opportunity to mate with all the females in the group
An unrelated group of lions is called a “sault” or “troop”. A group of all male lions believe it or not is refered to as a “coalition“! Only a related family of male and female lions is a “pride”. Never a ”pack of lions”! Families or Socialized Groups of Canines are “Packs”.
No, a pride consists of multiple lions, including adult females, their offspring, and a few adult males. The group structure is complex and involves various lions with different roles and responsibilities.
Lions are very loyal to their pride. All of them will work together to raise young and defend territory. Lions love their fellow pride members and often show affection. The only time a lion is not loyal to its pride is when it's kicked out.
There is no strict leader in prides, but the dominance is usually up to males who live in groups of around 3-4 per pride or in separate coalitions of even higher. It's not unusual for females to assume dominance sometimes, particularly in captivity. Any other hierachy is normally reserved for eating - cubs need the least as they can get their mother's milk, but males will step aside in dire times.The alpha-male lion

Lions are one of the only "social" big cats as they prefer to live in groups called "prides". Female lions are usually always in a pride unless for some reason they are banned from the group. Male lions usually have to leave the pride once they become adolescents that can challenge the Male pride leader(s). There can be more than one adult male lion in a pride but only one is supposed to mate with the females and produce offspring.
