Do african lions migrate from one place to another like birds and elephants?
No, as a rule prides stay within the home range, eating whatever is available. If prey is scarce however the territories will be significantly larger, so lions can afford to retreat into woodland areas, for example, where there is more cover to hunt prey that would otherwise rely on the long grasses of the rainy season for cover. But when fires burn away the grass during the dry season, lions are more easily seen by their prey, so may have to travel further than usual. Nomads are the exception. Mature males that are kicked out the pride need to travel long distances to find food, which sometimes brings them into conflict with human settlements, thus acquiring the potential to become man-eaters.
