Unwavering strength

Male lions are known for their impressive manes, which are unique to their species. The colour and size of a lion’s mane can vary depending on factors such as age, genetics, and overall health. A well-developed, dark-colored mane is often associated with strength and dominance, and it plays a significant role in attracting mates and intimidating rivals. The mane also serves as protection during fights, as it provides some shielding to the vulnerable neck area.
