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.

A male lion has a mane. A male tiger has a ruff. A lion's mane looks good on a lion but would look stupid on a tiger. Just the way it is. Sloth bears and Asian black bears also have a ruff.

I agree, we can't compare a "tiger mane" to a lions mane, but they are both distinctive and its interesting when some tigers develop this characteristic. But I'm with you, I prefer the maneless looks cause it really shows the muscle mass in their jaws. Like with Bhima from Kahna.
T-42's coat oddly looks like that of a Siberian Tiger, and usually, Siberians have a larger neck ruff than Bengals do. But in contrast, some state that Siberians are usually less aggressive than Bengals, and I don't really think that's true. Whether maned or maneless, aggression depends on the individual cat.
Speaking of the Siberian tiger, did you notice the 'beard' under its Caspian cousin's neck?
