Lions are magnificent animals. But these iconic predators are not just recognizable for their manes and their roar. Lions are also unique among big cats because they live in social groups called prides, while other big cats remain solitary. Just why they developed such an intricate social hierarchy is one of the questions we looked at in our recent article about lions living in the Serengeti. For this story, photographer Nick Nichols and videographer Nathan Williamson spent over two years tracking and living with the Vrumbi pride.
