Population Surprisingly the lion population has been decreasing
over time. “Although the cause of the decline is not fully
understood, habitat loss and conflicts with humans are currently the greatest causes of concern.” (Wikipedia)
The decline has gone almost to 50% in about a decade. Source: Wikipedia

Hunting The lionesses, or the female lions, are the ones whose
do most of the hunting. Theses lionesses are great hunters and are very fierce
when they hunt. When hunting, the lionesses will bring back all of the
food that they hunted for the entire pride. (catalogs) If a male lion is not in a pride, he will hunt for himself.
