Kenya.
Maneless male lion (Panthera leo)
Interesting.
I’ll have to check it out, I’ve always thought I was up on what’s what in the animal world, but I’ve never heard of adult African male lions without manes.
I watched a documentary where they put different fake male lions in an area with a pride of female lions. The fake males all had different lengths and colors of manes. The females preffered the males with the longest and darkest manes.
Maybe the ones that ate all those poor railroad workers in the 1800’s were just sexually frustrated, and went on a feeding binge.
