\nThe King of the Jungle…the lion.<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nSurveys tell us that most people, though they have trouble naming many other animals shown to them,\u00a0can<\/i>\u00a0identify a male lion.<\/span>

<\/span>That’s a relief!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nThere are\u00a0eight\u00a0<\/i>types of lion, most of which live in Africa.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nAsiatic lions, like the ones pictured below, live in the Gir Forest in India:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

\n
<\/span>Most lions are varying shades of color, but there are some white lions living wild in Tambavati.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n

\n
<\/span>White lions are\u00a0not<\/b>\u00a0albino, but\u00a0leucistic<\/i>; their normal tan coat color is suppressed with the\u00a0chinchilla<\/i>\u00a0gene, but their eyes are gold-brown, not red like a true albino’s.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
\nAnd that big lion mane? Lions are the\u00a0only<\/i>\u00a0big cats<\/a>\u00a0where it’s easy to tell the males from the females. \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/span>
\nExcept in Tsavo, where the<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Maneless lions<\/a>\u00a0live.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\nDid you know that some maneless lions are man-eaters? Check those out those bad boys\u00a0<\/span>here<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nAs for lions WITH manes, let’s take a look at the different colors their manes can be:\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nCan female lions grow manes, you ask?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\nWell, it’s rare, but they can! Look at this couple in Botswana:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

\nYou can read more about this crazy pride of lions here:<\/span><\/p>\n
