Usually a male is replaced every two to three years. The reason for that is, should a male remain in a pride longer than two to three years, it is more likely that he would than start mating with his own female offspring.
In nature, it works that way, that after these few years another male would challenge him and oust him from the pride. The new male lion would then take over the pride.
Lions are the only cat species that form social groups, known as prides. These prides are often described as matriarchal because more females belong to a pride and remain long-term members of the pride, unlike male lions.
Ukutula is a lion research center situated in South-Africa. The game farm comprises 260 hectares of unspoilt bushveld boasting a variety of antelope species, giraffe and zebra.
Ukutula is also home to more than 130 different bird species.
Known as the “place of quiet” the lodge is nestled in lush bushveld where the roar of the lion can be heard for miles around.
