Avoca male lions

[Duco Ndona]

There is a vague picking order. But its not well defined but more blurry.  The strongest lion may be more charitable and easier to steal food from than a weaker member in a bad mood and so on. 
Its definitely not like the biggest stronger lion eats first and then the second strongest etc that you sometimes see in movies. 

Even in decision making its more decentralised. One lioness stands up and begins stretching etc to go for a hunt. The rest just looks at her and decide for themselves if they want to go aswell.. Some may get up as well and if enough lions do that They all go. 
But if enough lions keep laying down. The original lioness that stood up lies down as well.

Offcource there is some natural order in things. Like some lions being more followers than others. But definitely not an alpha thing or something like that. If they feel like it they have no issue following the weakest for a bit. Reply
