    It's just old. To stay the (only) male lion of a pride, you have to be the top dawg and constantly fight off other males that want to beat you up and steal your pride.

    Eventually, every male will eventually lose and not be able to keep up with a younger, stronger male. He'll get kicked out and have to survive on his own, which usually results in his death if he's too old, since it's harder for them to hunt alone.
