Lions eat everything from tortoises to giraffes, but tend to hunt the prey they grew up eating, and customs vary among prides. Lions are the only truly socioble cats; related females share a traditional range, tend to reproduce in synchrony, and cross-sucle their offspring. Prides include anywhere from two or three to 40 lions. Pride members perform a ritual greeting upon meeting; they rub their heads and sides togeather, with tails looped high, while making friendly moaning sounds. Female lions are lifelong residents of their mothers' territories, unless food is too scarce, in which case extras emigrate. Adolescent male lions are forced to depart when their fathers begin to treat them as potential rivals; they spend two or three years as nomads until they mature, then begin to seek a pride to take over. Success depends mainly on numbers. A coalition of two male lions is the minimum; their tenure is rarely longer than two and a half years, just long enought for one set of cubs to reach indipendence. Trios and quartets have longer tenures. Most coalitions are made up of brothers, but unrelated nomads also join forces.
