Q:What is a pride?
“
A very good question! A pride is a female coalition. It is the generational assemblage of females that control a territory, male lions come and go and reproduce where they can. Male lions disperse at age two to three from where they are born (not that far actually), but the females largely stay in their natal territories. During her lifetime, a female lion might encounter several different male coalitions and might give birth to cubs sired by a diversity of different males.
