Females do most of the work in the pride. They hunt 85 to 90 percent of the time. They will knock down their prey and bite it on the neck and it will die. They are successful about 35 to 50 per The males look out for other animals to take their territory. Lions are the laziest of all the cats. They spend 16 to 20 hours of sleeping. A lions roar can be heard over 3 miles away! If another male lion wants to become the head lion it will have to take on the head male that's in charge presently in a fight. If he wins he will be the head male if he loses he is just a regular male. The lions diet is made up of meat. It eats wild beasts, zebras, buffalo, elephants, rhinos, hippos and giraffe. If lions don't get their dead prey and eat it in their territory or else scavengers will take their prey. Lion cubs weigh about 3 to 5 pounds. Lions have been killed for their fur.
