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.
