What does the word pride mean? Structure of a lion pack. A pride is a group of lions. See what “Pride” is in other dictionaries

Pride is a lion family

A pride is a family of lions. Several lionesses with children and a couple of lions. There are prides consisting of about forty individuals. These are the most numerous. But usually there are 10-12 lions in a pride: lionesses, kittens and lions. Prides are women’s associations, most often related ones. They are created by lionesses to protect their offspring. Lions are just joining them. Among the lions there is one leader. He has the right to be the first to profit from a successful hunt, the first to defend the pride territory, the first “groom” in the pride.

“Lions do not pick fights with other animals and rarely seriously fight with each other. Even during the period of heat, seeking the favor of a beautiful lioness, lions almost never stoop to a fight with an opponent. Instead, they quite sensibly leave the choice to the lioness, and the rejected gentleman goes in search of another girlfriend, or he can wander around and wait his turn, for lions are supporters of polygamy and the lioness usually has nothing against friendship with several lions whom she loves in turns. And a lion can have a harem or share one lioness with another lion. This is why you can find a group of a lion and three lionesses, or two lionesses and four lions, or almost any combination. Often two lions of the same age share a close friendship, and they for a long time hunt and live together. There are, of course, also known cases of deep affection between a lion and a lioness” (L. Kotlow)

Usually young lions at the age of 2.5 years leave the pride so as not to claim primacy in it. They live alone or in small teams (up to seven lions) for 2–3 years. And since sooner or later the lion needs to get into the pride, it’s easier to capture it with a team and then protect it.

The pride owns the territory in which it hunts and defends it from other lions. The most authoritative lion of a pride marks its boundaries with a mixture of urine and anal gland secretions, and any lion that approaches his land knows where the boundary is

Young single lions are not burdened with feeding cubs and caring for territory, so they eat better and sooner or later conquer for themselves a territory that houses one or even several prides of lionesses. The first thing a lion does after capturing a pride is kill all the cubs. Lionesses, as a rule, are not able to stop them, and only lion cubs have a chance of salvation over a year old. A lioness who has lost her cubs goes into heat after 2–3 weeks and will soon give birth to a new leader. Killing cubs is a necessity, since otherwise the new leader would have to wait at least two years for his own offspring, and given that the leader of a pack (pride), as a rule, is replaced every 2-4 years, he would not have time to raise his own cubs

“... our car almost crashed into a group of lions basking in the sun. All of them - a lion, three lionesses and a lion cub - raised their heads, looked at us carefully, but did not move... The lions watched our approach, but it did not seem to bother them... Fifteen feet from the lions we stopped. The lions continued to lie calmly and indifferently contemplate us - all except for the lion cub, which growled furiously at the car. The others seemed not at all interested in us; after we stopped, they lowered their muzzles, and one lioness, lazy and carefree, closed her eyelids and dozed off. Her friend was lying at a distance and could not get a good look at us. She stood up and moved towards us, although without giving us a glance. The lioness passed by without paying the slightest attention to us and disappeared into the bushes. Having perked up, I ordered the driver to very slowly drive the car close to the lions. We came within four feet of the nearest lioness. I lowered the window and pointed the lens directly at the lioness. When the buzzing of the device was heard, she raised her muzzle and squinted slightly, as if surprised by what was happening. Her gaze was calm and friendly, although it betrayed some wariness, and she seemed to be smiling softly. Having captured the lions on film, I took out a “watering can” and took a few more shots. Eventually the lion stood up and walked towards the bush, the others following. They all left with a disdainful look” (L. Kotlow)

Excerpt describing Pride

Instead of the demand four months ago to retreat from Numberania, now they demanded to retreat only beyond the Neman. Napoleon quickly turned and began to walk around the room.
– You say that they require me to retreat beyond the Neman to begin negotiations; but they demanded of me in exactly the same way two months ago to retreat beyond the Oder and Vistula, and, despite this, you agree to negotiate.
He silently walked from one corner of the room to the other and again stopped opposite Balashev. His face seemed to have petrified in its stern expression, and left leg trembled even faster than before. Napoleon knew this trembling of his left calf. “La vibration de mon mollet gauche est un grand signe chez moi,” he said later.
“Such proposals as clearing the Oder and the Vistula can be made to the Prince of Baden, and not to me,” Napoleon almost cried out, completely unexpectedly for himself. – If you had given me St. Petersburg and Moscow, I would not have accepted these conditions. Are you saying I started the war? Who came to the army first? - Emperor Alexander, not me. And you offer me negotiations when I have spent millions, while you are in an alliance with England and when your position is bad - you offer me negotiations! What is the purpose of your alliance with England? What did she give you? - he said hastily, obviously already directing his speech not in order to express the benefits of concluding peace and discussing its possibility, but only in order to prove both his rightness and his strength, and to prove Alexander’s wrongness and mistakes.
The introduction of his speech was made, obviously, with the aim of showing the advantage of his position and showing that, despite the fact, he accepted the opening of negotiations. But he had already begun to speak, and the more he spoke, the less able he was to control his speech.
The whole purpose of his speech now, obviously, was only to exalt himself and insult Alexander, that is, to do exactly what he least wanted at the beginning of the date.
- They say you made peace with the Turks?
Balashev tilted his head affirmatively.
“The world is concluded...” he began. But Napoleon did not let him speak. He apparently needed to speak on his own, alone, and he continued to speak with that eloquence and intemperance of irritation to which spoiled people are so prone.
– Yes, I know, you made peace with the Turks without receiving Moldavia and Wallachia. And I would give these provinces to your sovereign just as I gave him Finland. Yes,” he continued, “I promised and would have given Moldavia and Wallachia to Emperor Alexander, but now he will not have these beautiful provinces. He could, however, annex them to his empire, and in one reign he would expand Russia from the Gulf of Bothnia to the mouth of the Danube. “Katherine the Great could not have done more,” said Napoleon, becoming more and more excited, walking around the room and repeating to Balashev almost the same words that he said to Alexander himself in Tilsit. “Tout cela il l"aurait du a mon amitie... Ah! quel beau regne, quel beau regne!” he repeated several times, stopped, took a gold snuff box out of his pocket and greedily sniffed from it.

An article about the Pride company and its Breakthrough application.

I tried in this article to provide the most full information on the Breakthrough application from Pride International, talk about its main games.

Sit back and read the post to the very end.

Lately, I have begun to search and process more information about waking up early, increasing energy levels, productivity, and forming new strong habits.

Among other amounts of information that I came across, my special attention was drawn to the Breakthrough application. This was partly due to the fact that for a long time, thanks to social networks and Youtube, I followed the activities of Artem Nesterenko, who is the founder of Pride International. And this company is directly related to the Breakthrough application - it is its official developer.

Therefore, I personally decided to try the Breakthrough application and this is what came out of it.

What is Pride International?

Before I talk about the Breakthrough application, I’ll briefly tell you the main points about the Pride International company that I managed to find out.

The founder of Pride International is Artem Nesterenko, whom I wrote about in the article about (number 9).

Games of the "Breakthrough" application

I'll bring you brief information about the games that are currently available to users of the Breakthrough application.

By the way, their number is constantly growing: when I first paid for an annual subscription (in October 2017), there were only three games. And after a month and a half, there are already eight such educational training games.

How is the process organized?

Every morning of a new day, a small training video lasting 10-20 minutes appears in each game. Sometimes it's a little more. It reveals one question, and also formulates the task for the current day.

The next day a new video appears, and access to the old one is terminated. This greatly encourages you to work through useful content and complete tasks every day without delay. Throughout the day, the task must be completed and reported by writing a short post with a video or photo attached if necessary.

In each game, you have an accountability partner - a randomly determined participant who helps you reach the final, just as you help him.

Game "Wake up productive"

At any stage of life, we think about changing something in ourselves: forming new habits, giving up bad ones, starting to play sports, eating healthy food, drinking more water. But often, having made the decision to take on the task of improving life, setting a high bar for ourselves and designating the coming Monday for this, at the stage of implementing our plans, we negotiate with ourselves, lower the demands on ourselves and deviate from our plans.

The “Wake Up Productive” game allows all participants to compete with each other to achieve new skills, develop correct mode day, change your diet, start exercising, improve your way of thinking, learn to wake up productive every morning and increase your energy levels. The training includes tasks on psychology, physiology, time management, and develops the skill of achieving goals.

The game is led directly by Artem Nesterenko. Duration - 100 days. This period was not chosen by chance - during this period you can form new habits and implement significant positive changes In my life.

Conclusions and my reviews about the Breakthrough application

Based on the results of active daily work (games) with the Breakthrough application from Pride International, I can do the following conclusions about him:

1. The Breakthrough application is a product that has a clear target audience– people who want to change their lives, want to develop every day and achieve great results in the most different areas life activity. Therefore, this application is absolutely not suitable for negatively-minded people, “sofa guards”, skeptics, people who already know everything or have already achieved everything they wanted. But at the same time, it is more suitable than ever for those who understand that it is necessary to change today and now.
2. Combining elements of training programs in one application, as well as computer games makes learning very interesting. Every morning I wake up with anticipation to find out what the task will be for the day, what will be discussed in the next game day. During my thirty-minute run, I listen to the theory portion of each training program.
3. Another important advantage of the Breakthrough application is that training is carried out daily over long periods of time and is based not only on gaining knowledge, but also on its direct application in daily life. Performance practical tasks over long periods of time allows you to get out of your usual routine, form new skills and habits, and experience real changes in yourself and in your life. As for me, after listening to the training block, I plan time to complete the task for the day. In most cases, these tasks are simple and understandable, organically woven into daily activities without requiring a significant investment of time. But sometimes you have to change your usual behavior and get out of your comfort zone.

Pride

Pride (English Pride) - family pack Lviv and primates.

Leos are predatory mammals and live in family groups - prides.

A pride consists of one or more adult males (usually no more than 3), several mature females (a harem of females) and their cubs (lion cubs of both floors). The size of a pride can reach 30-40 animals. Prides are always dominated by lions - alpha males. The functions of males include only reproduction and defense of the territory, including from other males. Hunting and raising (training) cubs is carried out mainly by lionesses. All lionesses are related to each other. Young males upon reaching puberty are expelled from the pride. Females leave the pride very rarely.

The hierarchy in the pride is weakly expressed; when there is little prey, the male eats first; usually, he allows the cubs to eat with him. Equality reigns among lionesses, while lactating lionesses also feed other people's cubs. When hunting, lionesses work together, which allows them to catch even very large animals weighing about a ton. Since the pride constantly moves around the territory it occupies, pregnant lionesses leave it before giving birth to find shelter and return to the pride after one and a half to two months.

The pride protects aged and sick lionesses for a long time, for example, if a lioness cannot hunt due to injuries received during a hunt, then she is allowed to eat.

Lion cubs in a pride are usually children of the leader this moment male If a male is driven out by a stronger competitor, the new leader seeks to destroy the living kittens in order to persuade the females to mate again.

A hunting area controlled by a pride can cover an area of ​​several tens of square meters. km.
