Male Lion Coalitions | WILD NATURE

Male lions in Southern Africa typically live in coalitions. In the southern African region, the average coalition size is around two miles. Actual coalition sizes can vary from two males to seven males. These coalitions are normally made up of lions that are brothers, and often half-brothers, and cousins. They usually have their beginnings when these males are all still cubs, living in their natal pride. It has been recorded through that unrelated males may join up and form coalitions later in their lives.

Strong coalitions of male lions can lead to stable lion populations as the males are able to hold on to their territories for long enough to ensure the survival of their cubs. From a photographers point of view, male coalitions open up a range of opportunities. There is always interaction, usually affectionate, between the coalition members to photograph. Such bonding moments create a contrast between large and imposing alpha predators and the affectionate side of their nature. Being able to photograph more than one male lion in a frame also adds much.
