Learn why lionesses do most of the hunting in a lion family with simple and fun explanations perfect for young children.
In a lion family, called a pride, the lionesses are the ones who do most of the hunting. But why is that?
Well, lionesses are usually faster and smaller than the big male lions, so they can sneak up quietly and catch the animals they eat, like zebras and antelopes. The big male lions help protect the pride from other lions and dangers but let the lionesses hunt because they are better at it.
So, it's like a team where everyone has a special job: lionesses find and catch food, and male lions keep everyone safe. That way, the whole lion family stays strong and happy!
