Zoo Animals

The lioness is a symbol of strength, grace, and teamwork. As a key member of the pride, the lioness is primarily responsible for hunting and ensuring the survival of her group. Unlike male lions, who guard the territory and protect the pride, lionesses work collaboratively to take down prey, often targeting large animals such as zebras, wildebeests, and antelopes.

Lionesses are incredibly social animals, living in prides that can range from 3 to 30 members. Within these groups, they raise their cubs together, often nursing each other's offspring. This cooperation ensures the survival of their young and strengthens the pride as a whole.

Despite their critical role in maintaining balance in their ecosystems, lion populations are declining due to habitat loss, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching. Conservation efforts focus on protecting their habitats and reducing conflicts with local communities.
