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.

As i said, Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania.
There are five such looking males in this Lake Quintet coalition and most of the males are looking like this because of rich food source.

There is no correlation between them, a battle-trained male lion could also be handsome and very good looking with long and thick mane, and at once a fully stress-free living male lion also could have a short and grow thinner mane. It depends on the genes and nutrient sources, the availability of foods primarily.
