Best Answer

They are actually maneless male Tsavo lions. The males of this region often have suppressed manes if any at all. It is due to the difference in climate that this happens. The typical male serengeti lion has the typical bushy mane while those in the much drier Tsavo region have developed an evolutionary trait to conserve water due to their habitat.

Yes, the Tsavo man-eating lions were two male lions responsible for the attacks on workers during the construction of the Kenya-Uganda Railway in 1898. They were not female.

Where does the maneless lion live?

Maneless male lions can appear most anywhere the species is found, but the Tsavo region of Uganda appears to have the most of these maneless lions among the population.
