Lions generally inhabit warmer climates—warm temperate to tropical. They will thrive in any region, from desert to jungle, swamp to savanna. Lions hunt in packs (prides), the males seldom doing any actual stalking/killing of prey. The lioness is the real huntress. All these creatures can spring up to 30 ft. Males, however, are ferocious fighters, and will actively defend their group territory. Male lions have armor class 5 forequarters and armor class 6 hindquarters, lionesses have the latter armor class. A typical pride consists of 1-3 males and 1-9 females. If found in their lair there will be 1-10 cubs from 30% to 60% grown which will not fight. There will be 1-4 lionesses with these cubs which will immediately attack.
