There are many theories on lions mane but 1 thing is clear, nobody knows for sure. I don't think lionesses care if a male has a big black mane or not and I'm not sure if it shows any intimidation factor to other lions as we have clearly seen small mane lions kill, beat, and intimidate other lions with huge manes. Same with lionesses as they choose blonde mane lions and small mane lions. Im not sure any man will be able to figure out why?
