Lion cubs typically start practicing hunting skills around 6-9 months of age by stalking and pouncing on prey in play. They remain dependent on their mother for hunting and feeding until around 18 months of age, when they start participating in actual hunts with the pride. Full independence in hunting is usually achieved around 2-3 years of age.
