Description: The sun had just come up and the pride of lions was starting to perk up and start chasing and playing with each other.
Story from behind the lens: Lions are known for their strong social behavior, making them the only social big cats. They live in groups called packs. A typical lion pride consists of several related females, their cubs, and one or more male lions who act as the "ruler" of the pride.
The social behavior of lions is characterized by strong bonding and cooperation within the pride. The females often work together to hunt and kill their prey. This coordination allows them to successfully hunt larger animals, such as buffalo or wildebeest, which would be difficult for a lion to tackle alone. While hunting, they use their speed, strength, and group strategy to overwhelm their prey.
