Says the professor: 
"The most important way to think about this is that lion prides are like street gangs," says Packer."They compete for turf. The bigger the gang, the more successful it is at controlling the best areas. The main difference from humans is that these are gangs of female lions."
As for the males?
Males will often attack and attempt to kill female lions in neighbouring prides to tip the odds in favour of their own pride.Nature is the red in tooth and claw."Males turn out to be playing a greater role than we realised," says Packer. "Males attack females from neighbouring prides, likely altering the balance of power in favour of 'their' females."
