Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos

[Pckts]

The size of a mane is not determined in the "gene pool"
A large black mane is determined by outside forces i.e. Climate and testostorone. A large or skimpy mane is not genetically passed on, it is a sign used to display health. And depending on the area it will be larger or smaller. You could take a gir lion from the wild and move it to Harbin park tomorrow, and it will have a large mane and shaggy coat if it survives. All the lions in Harbin are African and if you look at them, they have longer fur and much thicker and denser manes. Reply
