Every species must constantly be running the race for supremacy, as evident in the phrase, “Survival of the fittest”. Most commonly presented in lion prides, the utilization of alliances is crucial for the survival of members. Prides use each other’s strength to cooperate when taking down prey, protecting territory from other prides, and for protecting the young cubs from intruding outsiders.

Observing the natural behavior of tigers versus lions illustrates this fact. Unlike tigers, which have a mainly solitary existence, lions are very social, and are really the only big cats which display this characteristic (Whitney).
