Why is using camouflage important to a lion?
The lion's camouflage is important to the lion because they use the tall grass for hiding from their prey. So they crouch down into the tall grass and wait for the right moment to attack and kill their prey.

How does a lion get its mate?
Lions typically engage in courtship behavior, such as vocalizations, grooming, and rubbing against each other, to attract a mate. The dominant male in a pride will have priority in mating with the females, ensuring his genes are passed on to the next generation. Once a female is in estrus, she will mate with the dominant male multiple times over a few days to increase the chances of successful fertilization.
Why lion has thick skin?
A lion needs to wait for a long time to hunt it's prey. Thick skin keep it protected and do not let it sweat. Thick skin also allows brown color which helps it camouflage it's body.
Is there a member in charge of a lion pride?
A lion pride is generally a fairly small group of adult females, one (or possibly two) adult males, and a varying number of juveniles. When male cubs reach maturity the alpha male (who is likely their father) drives them away; males driven out of a pride either wander by themselves or possibly in the company of another (usually related) male who has also been driven out.The alpha male is "in charge" in a kind of "if you do something I don't like I'll beat you up" kind of way. Nomad males who find a pride with a weak alpha male may kill him or drive him away and become the new alpha male for the pride.There's a tendency for members of the pride to "specialize" ... for example, one lioness may guard the cubs most of the time, while another may hunt most of the time; there's even specialization among the hunters in the sense that one of the females (males in a pride typically don't hunt much, since the females are generally faster and more agile... males tend to be stronger, but that normally isn't an issue) may tend to lurk in hiding and wait for another female to select prey and drive it towards her.
