The  Tsavo conservation area has many lions in this national park, it has more lions than the Nairobi national park and the Masai Mara.   Lions live in pride, a pride of lions may only consist of lionesses with their cubs, the lions only sometimes come the pride to mate with the females.  
Lions are social animals, if one of the lionesses is injured other lioness in the pride can prey and give it some meat, the cubs will eat from any of the females when they kill prey. Lions are rank animals, they follow a chain of command, you can see this during the feeding time, the stronger will eat first, during mealtime they are not friendly with each other. 
The cubs of a lioness are born with their ears and eyes closed, during this time they only depend on the lioness. When the cubs are born the lioness will hide them for about six weeks before she will introduce them to the rest of the pride.
Lions have territories when a dominating male has been defeated by younger lions he will have to leave the pride, other lions will take her pride and they will kill all her cubs, this is done to bring the lioness in the heat. 
Buffalos are also in plenty in this national park, they feed on grass, the buffalos are also rank animals.
