Behavior
The only social member of the cat (Felidae) family, lions live in large groups called "prides," consisting of about 15 lions. Related females and their young make up the majority of the pride. A single male, or sometimes a small group of 2-3 males, will join a pride for an indefinite period, usually about 3 years or until another group of males takes over.
Lions within a pride are often affectionate and, when resting, seem to enjoy good fellowship with lots of touching, head rubbing, licking and purring. The males are territorial, and will roar and use scent markings to establish their domains.
Females do almost all of the hunting. They are mainly nocturnal and work in teams to stalk and ambush prey. Lions inhabit grassy plains, savannahs, open woodlands and scrub country. These landscapes allow the hunters to creep stealthily through vegetation and leap upon their unsuspecting prey.
Reproduction
Mating Season: Throughout the year.
Gestation: Around 110 days.
Litter size: 3-4 cubs.
Young cubs are vulnerable to predation by hyenas, leopards and black-backed jackals. The cubs begin hunting at 11 months but remain with their mother for at least two years.
Climate Change and Other Threats
Lions are facing an indirect threat from climate change called co-infection. Lions periodically face outbreaks of the disease distemper, and usually weather them with little mortality. However, distemper outbreaks in 1994 and 2001 caused massive die-offs. Researchers found that the key environmental factor in the 1994 and 2001 epidemics was the occurrence of a severe drought.
One result of this drought was that both the lions' prey, weakened with malnutrition, became heavily infested with ticks, which in turn infested the lions as they fed. The ticks, it turned out, carried a blood parasite that rendered the less able to cope with canine distemper virus, and the combination of the two diseases killed many more lions than either disease commonly would acting on its own. Droughts such as the ones that led to deadly co-infection in lions are predicted to become more commonplace as the climate warms.
Lions are also facing many human threats such as population growth and agricultural expansion resulting in loss of natural habitat, as well as hunting, poisoning and poaching by livestock ranchers.
Yes. Hyenas and dogs will frequently drive a lion from its kill. The lion can run away, but if he tries to stay and fight, the lion will kill the dogs in front - and the dogs behind him will kill the lion.
A mother lion is called a lioness. Lionesses are responsible for hunting and caring for the young cubs in a pride. They are highly skilled hunters and work together to take down prey for the pride. Lionesses are known for their strength, agility, and fierce maternal instincts.

It can mean different things from a latin kings gang symbol or even represent the lion of judah taking on the snake which represents evil spirits. So what ever you take it as it what it means to you.
Lion hunting is primarily an instinctual behavior that is genetically programmed. Lions possess natural hunting instincts that drive their behavior. However, they also learn hunting skills through practice and observation from their mothers and other pride members.
They could, but they wouldn't; it's not in their instincts to breed together.
A lion is by nature a wild animal. The only exceptions are the lions which are bred in habitat and even they are natural predators with survival instincts, who will attack if threatened or if starved.
"My cat is very sneaky and mischievous." "A domestic cat has many of the instincts of a lion or tiger."
well, a mothers instinct is to protect her children, a lion fathers instinct is to keep his wife and his territory, and so on....
No ========== Probably not since lions are bigger than rottweilers and have claws that can tear into flesh. Of course if a rottweiler managed to tear the throat of a lion before the lion mauled it, the rottweiler might manage to defeat the lion. If you had to bet though, the safer money would be on the lion.
Lions have some instincts which are relevant to hunting, but they are also taught by their parents. Even though lions do not speak, they can demonstrate techniques to each other.
Animals are neither good nor bad. They obey their instincts, unlike humans, who know what is right and wrong but still choose to do the wrong thing.
