lioness

A Female Lion.

Females lions do the hunting and get food for the whole pride. They hunt in packs ambushing their prey...But the dominant male gets to eat what they catch first.

They are smaller then the males and do no have a mane.
A pride can consist of one male and sometimes 30 females!

I do not have an example to go with the word lioness.
