The mane is a way for a lion to look bigger and scarier. A major defense mechanism for animals in the wild is looking bigger than they actually are. It's also a way to attract females - the bigger, bolder they seem (colors, hair, size) the more desirable they are to reproduce with. Also, when male lions fight, they try to bite the neck and throat areas of their opponents. This can result in fatal injuries very easily. The mane protects the male lions from such bites because they keep fighting all the time :)
