5 Interesting Facts About Lionesses!

  • Lionesses do around 90% of the hunting for the pride - working in coordinated teams, they use sophisticated strategies to chase and encircle prey far larger than themselves.
  • They're significantly faster than male lions - without the heavy mane, lionesses are more aerodynamic and can reach speeds of up to 80km/h in a short sprint.
  • Lionesses raise their cubs communally - all the females in a pride nurse each other's young, creating a shared childcare system that gives every cub a much better chance of survival.
  • A lioness's roar is just as powerful as a male's - both can be heard up to 8km away, and roaring together as a pride is one of the most awe-inspiring sounds in nature.
  • Lionesses form the permanent core of any pride - while young males are eventually expelled to find their own territories, the females stay together for life, often hunting and living alongside their mothers and grandmothers.
