The male lions usually protect the pride from any other male lions since if a different lion takes over the pride, the new lion may dispose of the cubs so the lionesses come into season (meaning they can have new cubs) so the new lion can have cubs of his own blood line. The lionesses hunt, not the males, but the males are the first to eat, but sometimes a male lion may be on its own so it will have to hunt by itself. The males' main job (apart from protecting the pride) is to mate with the lionesses, so that cubs are born.

Male lions are primarily responsible for defending the pride's territory, which includes marking boundaries, protecting the pride from rival males, and engaging in territorial disputes. They also play a role in mating with the lionesses and ensuring the survival and protection of their cubs.

The main function of the lion is to get rid of weak, diseased, injured, and aged animals and to improve the type of animals that can avoid being attacked, killed, and eaten.
