The lioness does most of the hunting, not all of it. And there is a very good reason for that given the environment in which this survival behavior was developed. The 'King' is the protector, and a very important asset to overall safety and well-being as such. Neither one of those is more crucial to the den's survival than the other.

The lioness does most of the hunting, not all of it. The lion has been seen to go after prey, but only after it has been wounded by another animal, usually the lioness. The term "lion's share" is not without a basis in fact. The male get the first and biggest share, then the cubs and the lioness get whatever is left over.
