Lions don't have a mating season as such. They breed all year round. Whenever a female lioness in the pride comes into heat, the male lion mates with her and impregnates her with his genes. Lionesses mate only once in 2 years or so. Only after her litter of cubs are old enough to fend for themselves would a lioness come to heat again.

Lions are mammals and breed by internal fertilisation between a male and a female lion. Lions have no particular breeding season. Breeding can occur of the females if the pride is taken over by a new male.

You probably don't want to know, but they do breed some cats with animals similar to lions. For example the African savanna is bred with another cat to make somthing that is at least legal to have.
