A good gauge of a male lion’s age is the darkness of his mane. The darker the mane, the older the lion.
The mane of the male lion is a distinctive characteristic of lions as no other big cats have them. It makes male lions appear larger, thus allowing them to be more intimidating. It also signals sexual maturity and health status; lionesses tend to favour denser and darker manes.
A lion’s heels don’t touch the ground when it walks.
