Lion facts- part2

Lions spend much of their time resting, and are inactive for about 20 hours per day.They spend an average of two hours a day walking, and 50 minutes eating

Of all wild cat species, the lion is the most social cat, living in groups of related individuals with their offspring. Such a group is called a pride. 

The lion is a generalist hypercarnivore and usually hunts in groups. Its prey consists mainly of mammals.

Usually, the mother does not integrate herself and her cubs back into the pride until the cubs are six to eight weeks old.

Lionesses in a pride often synchronise their reproductive cycles and there is communal raising and suckling of the young (once the cubs are past the initial stage of isolation with their mother), who suckle indiscriminately from any or all of the nursing females in the pride. 

Lions have the loudest roar of any big cat.They most often roar at night; the sound, which can be heard from a distance of 8 kilometres.
