What is a group of lions called?

The lion ('Panthera leo') has a number of characteristics that make it different from the other wild predatory cats of the world, and among those key differences is its social behavior. While some lions are nomads, traveling and hunting individually or in pairs, most lions live in a social organization known as a pride. This is quite unique among the world's large cat species, most of which are lone hunters throughout their adult lives.

The size of a lion pride can vary widely, and the structure differs between African and Asian subspecies. On average, a lion pride consists of about 14 animals.

Larry Jones why do you not submit some questions which are more of a challenge.

Irene Townsend, female lions and their young DO live in groups called prides, generally with one male. When the young males grow up, they are kicked out.

Cujo , are you talking gherkins and sinkholes? Id, how astute, did I mention the interchangeable element yet? Cujo, nurture vs not sure? Id, what? Cujo, I don't know. Id, third base.

Larry Jones has a problem. The examiners are ego maniacs when faced with question they haven't a clue about, shout "I don't like that question.", put their big mouth in and shake it all about, do the jokie pokie - that's what it's about. To get good question through is running the gauntlet with insecure posers running the show. Next time I won't sugar coat how I feel.

Easy for me. There’s a band called Pride of Lions too!

I saw a Male lion at the zoo and his lionesses were always cutting up. It was his foolish pride.

Most lions that travel on they own or pairs are usually males that have to leave the Pride. Only females and one male is in the pride, occassionally you may get two brothers having the pride. If a female is on her own, it usually means she has had cubs from a stranger and the male of the pride will sometimes kill the cubs, and the lioness'will chase her out. Lions need to be in a pride as a much better chance for them to catch prey
