Felids Interactions - Intraspecific Conflicts

[Pantherinae]

The mane has never been said to be 100% protection, but some protection it certanly gives, I've seen Lions struggle to Get a grip on males with big manes. This selinda male Looks a little young and does not have a big mane, The bigger The mane the more protection! There's also a picture of a male lion killing another male with a skull bite, and why do You think male Lions Often attack The hindquaters, instead of the frontal attacks as every other cat. And a big maned male lion like kincky tail took alot of time for four male Lions to kill no neck or throat bites, while kincky tail and mr. T kills a younger male with little mane The same day with a solid neck grip, same goes for mr.T large male against four males no neck or throat bite! I know this can be a serrious discussion topic.. So I'm just giving my opinion and my view of The topic.. But I'm 100% sure the mane gives the neck and throat some protection..

I know this mane thing is a lion vs tiger topic, and I have never really been interested in who's The ultimate cat. so this is Nothing lion fan stuff just sayin before it triggers anyone. These cat's will never meet in The wild so it's a silly subject IMO. I think both could kill one another and that's all I wanna say about this Reply
