Lions do not have a mustache in the traditional sense; however, they have long whiskers called vibrissae. These whiskers are highly sensitive tactile hairs that help lions navigate their environment and detect nearby objects, especially in low-light conditions. While they may resemble a mustache, they serve a different purpose in terms of sensory perception.
catfish use their whiskers to feel and taste in the mud and the water.
