Does a lion's mane cool it off?
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.
No, lions cannot fly. Lions are terrestrial mammals and lack the body structure, wings, and adaptations necessary for flight.

What are the special features a lion uses to survive in the wild?
At over 400 pounds and 9 feet in length from head to tail, few African animals are larger than a full-grown lion and none of the other African predators approach that size. While other predators have to be choosy when selecting their prey, the size and strength of lions gives them the capability of preying upon almost any other animal. Lions commonly prey upon zebras and African antelope weighing twice their weight.
African lions are the only member of the cat family in which the males and females look different. The long mane of mature males makes them look larger -- without adding weight -- and the mantle of hair helps protect the vital neck area when fighting with rival males. The tawny color of both sexes blends well with the often dormant grasses in savanna habitats as well as being a good camouflage color in sun-dappled bush and woodlands. Young lion cubs are spotted for additional camouflage protection until they are old enough to better fend for themselves.
African lions are social animals, unlike most predatory cats. They live in prides consisting of several females, their offspring and usually no more than a pair of adult males. There's a hierarchy among both the female members of the pride and the male members. Working as a unit ensures the survival of the pride.
The males are responsible for defending the pride's territory and protection of females and cubs. The females, being smaller and more agile, do most of the hunting. Once cubs are weaned by their mothers, the entire pride works together to raise and train them. These shared duties makes the pride more efficient in hunting, sharing and surviving in the wild.
Does every male lion have a mane?
Yes. All male lions have the Mane. 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.
