There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

There are always exceptions, but usually the dark maned lion is the most dominate among its coalition members or rivals but of course, there is no such thing as 100% rule.
But the dummy test did show that lions had the most hesitation to attack darker maned males and females were most attracted to dark maned males, also those same dark maned males generated more testosterone than their lighter maned peers.
They also generated more body heat and thus would need to be in better physical condition to maintain a dark mane.
But all and all, its not the mane that makes the lion, whether it has one or not, the lion is and always will be, a lion, beautiful and powerful!
