Male lions tend to be slightly darker in color than the females; a more golden orange compared to the light creamy yellow. But, although the differences are noticeable by the trained eye, they are minimal.

Why do male lions have fur and female lions don't have fur?

Male and female lions both have fur, but male lions have a mane which can vary in color and size. The mane serves as a form of protection during fights with other males and can also signal the lion's age and health to potential mates. Female lions do not have manes because they do not need them for the same purposes as males.

Are lions female?

Not all of them (for obvious reasons). It is easy to distinguish between male and female lions because adult male lions have long fur on their head and neck called a mane, while female lions do not. Males have this because they get into fights over territory with other lions and the fur helps protect their necks in these fights. See the related link for a picture. The male lion is on the left, the female on the right. Well not all of them but there is some female lions between adult lions and male lions.
