    Female lions play the primary role in raising cubs, nursing them and teaching them to hunt until they leave the pride around 2 years of age. Male lions defend the pride's territory from outside males. Lions help balance their ecosystem by preying on herbivores like zebras and wildebeests to control their populations. When a new male takes over a pride, he may kill the existing cubs to encourage the females to mate with him.
