Who are the allies of lions?

Lions are social animals that live in prides, which consist of related females, their cubs, and a coalition of males. Their primary allies are pride members, particularly lionesses, who work together for hunting and protection. Additionally, lions may occasionally coexist with other large predators, such as hyenas and leopards, but these relationships are often competitive rather than allied. In the ecosystem, they are part of a larger community that includes other carnivores and herbivores, but their direct allies are primarily within their pride.
