when do lions become sexually active
A male and female away from the pride are probably mating, which guarantees constant action. A lioness becomes sexually receptive for two to four days about once every two years. The pride males detect her condition by scent. Lions may mate hundreds of times during the three- to four-day estrous of the female. Mating occurs about four times an hour over a period of one to two days and lasts for less than a minute each time.
