Plains Camp males

[Duco Ndona]

Typically lionesses do everything in their power to prevent anyone to find them. Including their own pride members.
Its also not something the pride male lions would be interesting in or actively search for. Lions are much more nomadic than wild dogs or hyenas are. So densites are not the social hub for them like they are for those species. 

Its just one of those behavoural rules not to be around denning lionesses. So any report of them hanging around casually at a densite needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
These reports are most likely just cases of lions accidentally stumbling on the den and perhaps hanging around a bit to spend time with the lioness there or out of curiousity. Reply
