The Lion’s Life Cycle

As research studies show, under favorable conditions, lions can survive for approximately 13 years, although currently most lions die before reaching that age, because of two main human practices namely poaching and destruction of their natural habitats. In addition, these human activities, unpredictable climatic changes have not either spared lions, as most of them never survive in hot temperatures. As compared to male lions, female lions have long life spans, a fact that research attributes to their improved hunting proficiency. To counter their predators’ attacks, lions live in clusters, although it is very normal to find a secluded female lion, as most of them may roam around their habitats in such of a cluster where they can fit. This like a scenario occurs mostly in cases of extreme harassment from their male counterparts, as most female lions can easily find new male counterparts
