A group of lions is called a "pride." This term reflects their social structure, as lions are unique among felines for their strong social bonds and cooperative behavior. Prides typically consist of related females, their cubs, and a small number of adult males. Living in a pride allows lions to work together in hunting and protecting their territory from rival males and other predators. The dynamics within a pride can be complex, with roles often determined by age, gender, and individual personalities. This social system enhances their survival in the wild.
