Answer

I'm not sure whether a lioness got a mane or not.I wouldn't object go to zoo and investigate the case.=) Probably she doesn't have,though.

Hello Wozitoya,

The males do have manes, females don't !
When I was a child I thought always that the lions with manes were definitely females , drawing an analogy between lions and humans,  where it is prevalent for female humans to have long hair ;)
