The mating behavior of lions is a painful process for the female. The penis is barbed and its withdrawal hurts the female who may twist around and attack the dismounting male (Can be seen in the picture). The pain is necessary for feline mating as it is the shock to her system (we may call agitation) that induces ovulation and permits ...
The mammalian female reproductive system contains three main divisions: the vagina and uterus, which act as the receptacle for the sperm, the ovaries, which produce the female's ova, and the vulva, which consists of the labia and clitoris. The vagina, uterus and ovaries are always internal while the vulva is external.
The clitoris (/ ˈ k l ɪ t ər ɪ s / ⓘ or / k l ɪ ˈ t ɔːr ɪ s / ⓘ; pl.: clitorises or clitorides) is a female sex organ present in mammals, ostriches and other amniotes.. Although the clitoris exists in all mammal species, [1] [2] [3] most studies deal with the human clitoris - few detailed studies of the anatomy of the clitoris in non-humans exist. [4]
When the female inserts her organ into the male, the tip of the pseudo penis inflates. When this tip inflates, species specific ridges and spines flare up that match up with the walls of the male's genital chamber. This serves two functions, to stimulate the male's reproductive organs, and to keep the male and female locked together.

Sex organs are responsible for producing and transporting gametes , as well as facilitating fertilization and supporting the development and birth of offspring.

In zoology, copulation is animal sexual behavior in which a male introduces sperm into the female's body, especially directly into her reproductive tract. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This is an aspect of mating . Many aquatic animals use external fertilization , whereas internal fertilization may have developed from a need to maintain gametes in a liquid ...
A lion's pride consists of a few adult males, related females, and cubs. Groups of female lions usually hunt together, preying mostly on medium-sized and large ungulates. The lion is an apex and keystone predator. The lion inhabits grasslands, savannahs, and shrublands.
