How often do they mate?
In the wild they usually breed no more than once in two years.
How many mates do they have?
Females are receptive to mating for three or four days within a widely variable reproductive cycle.During this time a pair generally mates every 20–30 minutes, with up to 50 copulations per 24 hours.
Time of year for mating
Lions have no particular breeding season, and often synchronize breeding, especially after a pride takeover, raising the cubs communally.
Mating Ritual
Male courtship behaviour usually entails lots of head rubbing with the female, urine spraying, licking his genitals and patiently following her. When the lioness is ready and presents, the male will try to grip her neck before mounting. Once he mounts, copulation is generally completed with a few thrusts.
Number of offspring produced at a time
A lion birth results in one to five cubs in each litter. Lionesses can give birth every two years.
Any unique characteristics of their mating?
When lions mate, the male lion mounts the female and bites her neck to make her passive.
