They are in singles
Pairs
Triplets
Grouped in different ways depending on the animal
Which strategy allows lions to be more successful and effective hunters, and why?
Hunt smaller prey solo - they can do it faster alone, still gain enough energy from the prey
Hunt larger prey in a group - they can share the energy cost of hunting, gain more energy
What are the benefits of the females lions co-parenting their cubs in a pride? Select all that apply.
Protection, safety in numbers
All female lions’ genetic material will be passed along, since they are all related to the cubs

What are the roles of the female lions in the pride?
Raising the cubs

Both sets come from the mother
Both sets come from the father
There is only one set of chromosomes
