What is the name for a group of lions living together? a. mane c. felines b. pride d. family Lions, like all cats, belong to a group of mammals called felines. They live in groups called prides. A pride may contain four to six adults and their cubs. Male lions usually weigh between 330 and 420 pounds. The job of male lions is to protect the pride from enemies. They also have to look after the young when the females are hunting. Male lions have manes of thick hair that protect them during fights and allow them to look larger and more dangerous to enemies, such as other male lions or hyenas. Adult males stay with a pride only a few years before they are defeated and sent away from the pride by stronger, younger males. Lions hunt using their razor-sharp teeth, powerful claws, great agility, and sharp senses. Lions generally hunt only when they are hungry. Female lions do all of the hunting. However, the male insists on eating first from any kill. He will not allow any member of the pride to eat, even the female who did the hunting, until he has eaten his fill. A male lion may eat up to sixty-five pounds at one time, and then it may not need to eat for several days. Lions spend most of their time sleeping, often for twenty hours a day. Lions used to be widespread throughout Asia and India, but now only a few survive in a protected reserve in India. Lions flourish on the plains of Africa where they kill large prey, such as zebras.
