A group of lions is called a "pride." Prides typically consist of multiple females, their offspring, and a few adult males. This social structure allows lions to work together for hunting and raising young, increasing their chances of survival in the wild. In a pride, female lions often collaborate to hunt, while males protect the territory from rival males. The dynamics within a pride can vary, creating distinct social hierarchies where cooperation and relationships are essential for the well-being of the group, making them unique among most felines.
