The lion is the most sociable of the cats, living in groups called "prides." Each pride is made up both of lionesses who keep the group together, nurture and teach the young, and lead hunting parties, and one to four males who patrol the group's territory to protect it, staying in touch with contact roars that can be heard up to 5 miles away. Lionesses team up to stalk their prey, and they are capable of killing animals larger than themselves. Creatures of the plains, lions are not very good climbers.
