 Lions may anumal hunt at any hour, screensaver but they typically go after large prey at night. They hunt together to increase their success rate, since prey can be difficult to catch and can outrun a single lion. The lions anumal fan out along a broad front or semicircle to creep up on prey. Once with within screensaver striking distance, they bound in among the startled animals, knock one down and kill it with a bite to the neck or throat. Hunts are successful about half the time. Cooperative hunting enables lions to take prey as large as wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, young elephants, rhinos, hippos and giraffes, any of which can provide several meals for the pride. Mice, lizards, tortoises, warthogs, antelopes and even crocodiles also form part of a lion''s diet. Because they often take over kills made by hyenas, cheetahs anumal and leopards, scavenged food provides more than 50 percent of their diets in areas like the Serengeti plains. Lions are the laziest of the big cats. They usually spend screensaver 16 to 20 hours a anumal and screensaver day sleeping and resting, devoting the remaining anumal and screensaver hours to hunting, courting or protecting their territory. They keep in contact with one another anumal by roaring loud screensaver enough to be heard up to five miles away. The pride usually remains intact until the males are challenged anumal and successfully screensaver driven away or killed by other males, anumal who then take over. Not all lions live in prides. At maturity, young males leave the units of their birth and spend several years as nomads before they become strong enough to take screensaver over a pride of their own. Some never stop wandering and continue to follow migrating herds; but the nomadic life is much more difficult, with little time for resting or reproducing. Within the pride, the territorial males are the fathers of all the cubs. When a lioness is in heat, a male will join her, staying with her constantly.
