Lions are generally a group, and they have a strong social structure. Hunting for food will also have a clear division of labor. Generally, the lion enjoys food first, then the highest-ranking female lion, and the young lion last. Social structure

Lions are mainly females, and females will not leave their community. However, males may be forced to leave the group because of their age or challenges from foreign lions. Among lions, the male lion is mainly responsible for patrolling places, protecting cubs and groups, and the female lion owner is responsible for hunting. When hunting larger prey, the male lion will assist the female lion to hunt together. Lions can be composed of 3 to 5 lions. Generally speaking, there is only one adult lion in a lion group, while there may be a complex number of adult male lions in a larger lion group. In the lion group, if underage lions challenge their biological father's status as the lion king, they will be expelled in adulthood (about three years), while female lions will stay in the group after adulthood. Food

Because lions don't have enough endurance to chase long distances. Generally speaking, they lurk near their prey and then jump up and put it down. Therefore, ambush is generally used to capture prey, and the instantaneous attack speed can reach 6-8 km/h. The head and neck of small prey are usually bitten off, while the head and neck of large prey are torn or suffocated. They will hunt together, chase the prey that they can't catch up with, such as the flying antelope, to the ambush, and then suddenly attack; To deal with giraffes, such a big prey, they will run out of energy and then fall down, often for hours; When dealing with buffalo or antelope, they will grab their legs from behind and bite their throats to suffocate them.

The prey includes antelope, gazelle, antelope, zebra, African buffalo, giraffe, Nile crocodile, elephant cub, hippopotamus, hippopotamus cub and rhinoceros cub, as well as baboons, rabbits, birds, warthogs, African crested porcupines, and sometimes even fish and snakes. There are also many records of lions catching elephants together. After the prey is captured, it will eat according to the status of the group: first the lion, then the highest-ranking female lion, and finally the young lion.

Summary

Lions have their own social structure. Generally, when eating, they will follow the hierarchical system. The high-ranking lions eat first, and then the weak young lions. However, this will also lead to status disputes within the group, and such struggles often lead to injuries.
