Why do male lions have manes?
Both sexes can have manes. However, the female manes I've seen at the San Antonio Zoo are only about 6 to 8 inches long. They look like the mane of a young male lion, and are commonly mistaken for such. Keep in mind that I've never seen or heard of another female lion having a mane except those two.
What are manes colors?
All male lions have the Mane. The mane is nothing but a growth of hair around the neck area of the lion. The hair is similar to the hair we have on our heads. The size and darkness of the Mane signifies how mature and old the Male Lion is. Lions with a larger mane have a greater chance of holding onto a pride and also mating with lionesses. Female lions don't have any Manes. Females don't usually fight with one another so they don't have manes. The mane is very useful for male lions in their fights. During fights, lions usually try to go for the throat of their enemies. If the manes were not there, they could fatally injure one another easily. Though lions get badly or sometimes even fatally injured during fights, the mane prevents most of those fatal injuries.

Animals with manes?
horses and lions...1) Genus Equus - horses/ponies, donkeys, and zebras. Males and females have manes.2) Some species of the genus Hippotragus - antelopes, For example, the roan antelope and the sable antelope. From what I have found online, it appears that both sexes have a mane.3) Giraffa camelopardalis - the giraffe. I could not find any commentary that manes were limited to one gender.4) Camelus bactrianus - the Bactrian camel. Haven't been able to determine if both sexes have manes. Dromedary camels have somewhat more prominent hair along the ridge of their humps, but since manes are by definition around the head and/or neck, then this doesn't qualify.5) Panthera leo - the lion - but only males.6) Homo sapiens - us, males and females.7) Macaca silenus - the lion-tailed macaque, both genders.8) Chrysocyon brachyurus - the maned wolf. Both genders are thought to have manes.If you want to expand the question to "ruffs" - not quite "manes," but a fringe or frill of long hairs or feathers growing around or on the neck of an animal - then the list becomes exponentially longer.

Are the tsavo man-eating lions female?
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.
Why do male lions have spiky penises?
They're not spikey, they're barbed, and it's to keep a hold in the lioness's vagina while he orgasms and ejaculates. Lions, like all felines, have very short penises, and the barbs are there just to keep him inside for a bit longer and minimize risk of slipping out by accident.
