Lionesses in Woburn Safari Park, taken through the car window. Who knows how they are feeling but they certainly looked contented & healthy. Had a lovely day here on Monday with my son & grandchildren. The weather wasn`t very good, bad light for photos but still great to get out!
Lionesses will keep their cubs hidden from the others in the pride until the babies are about 6 weeks old. The cubs start to eat meat around 3 months old but continue nursing until they are between 6 and 12 months old.

Lionesses take 80 to 90% of hunting on their behalf. They usually hunt at night or during the night by moonlight, because they are less and it is cooler. During the day they take much time to sleep and rest.

The lionesses work together to hunt and help rear the cubs. This allows them to get the most from their hard work, keeping them healthier and safer. Being smaller and lighter than males, lionesses are more agile and faster. During hunting, smaller females chase the prey toward the center of the hunting group.

Lionesses resting in a hollow, lift their heads in unison and stare down the camera, Puruma Pride Lion Park, Free State, South Africa. Likely they were just curious, but being the target of that many eyes felt a little chilling.

My guide and I watched these lionesses for about an hour. They lounged around, played with their cubs, practiced a stand off with elephants three times their size, did trial runs showing off their hunting maneuvers and then one stated to dig this hole.
She was digging very fast and it quickly was becoming a very large and deep hole. Then the others stood guard. I asked my guide what she was digging for and he was uncertain. "Google" says she was perhaps trying to catch a small burrowing animal or maybe even looking for water. I fantasized that they were planning a barbecue after finally going hunting.

I'm not sure of the differences between these and the other lions that live in the central part of the continent.
These three were very puffed out, as though they may have been hunting. But seemingly with no luck. They were taking a short cut across a bridge. Which was lucky for me. They continuously growled between themselves. Very perturbed and perhaps ready to try again, once they found game. I wished them good luck!
Two kalahari lionesses captured in the social bonding ritual of grooming, late one afternoon in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa.
Lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard were considered by 19th and early 20th century big game hunters as the most dangerous animals to hunt on foot, and thus came about the term "Big Five".

The close bond that the Lions have within their social group was a privilege to observe in Botswana and Zimbabwe.The core of the pride consists of related lionesses, often including mothers, daughters, and sisters. These lionesses work together in various aspects of pride life, such as pack hunting and rearing cubs.
They are highly coordinated in their hunting efforts and often target larger prey like zebras, wildebeests, and buffalo. Their success in hunting is essential for the sustenance of the entire pride. Lionesses also play a pivotal role in nurturing and raising cubs.
Female lions are able to give birth to cubs all year round, usually from the age of about three or four years old. Pregnancy lasts for around 110 to 120 days.
After the sunset, just before night fall, while returning to camp we were gifted by this superb encounter with a pride of lionesses on top of the Kopje (rock formations).

Pride lionesses (Panthera leo) often synchronise their reproductive cycles and communal rearing and suckling of the young, which suckle indiscriminately from any or all of the nursing females in the pride. The synchronisation of births is advantageous because the cubs grow to being roughly the same size and have an equal chance of survival, and sucklings are not dominated by older cubs. Weaning occurs after six or seven months. Male lions reach maturity at about three years of age and at four to five years are capable of challenging and displacing adult males associated with another pride.
