What is the lions life Cycle from birth to death?

A lion's life cycle begins with birth, where cubs are born in litters of 1 to 4 and are initially helpless and dependent on their mothers for nourishment and protection. As they grow, they become more independent around 2-3 months, starting to eat meat and learn social behaviors within their pride. By 2-3 years, they reach maturity, with males starting to establish their own territory and females often remaining with their maternal pride. Lions typically live up to 10-14 years in the wild, though they can live longer in captivity, facing threats from disease, competition, and habitat loss as they age.
