Reproduction and life cycle
Most lionesses will have reproduced by the time they are four years of age.Lions do not mate at any specific time of year, and the females are polyestrous.As with other cats, the male lion’s penis has spines which point backwards. Upon withdrawal of the penis, the spines rake the walls of the female’s vagina, which may cause ovulation.
A lioness may mate with more than one male when she is in heat;during a mating bout, which could last several days, the couple  copulates twenty to forty times a day and are likely to forgo eating.  Lions reproduce very well in captivity.
