Creatures of pride (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lions

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'creatures' is the first definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'pride' is the second definition.
(a pride is a group of lions)

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lions that I've seen before include "Big cats" , "Roaring cats" , "Wild cats" , "Beastly kings" , "Large carnivores" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
