first time I see a male lion without mane. his very handsome face is revealed. strong jaws, a well-shaped face and by extension a massive body with broad shoulders. Very beautiful animal with or without his thick mane. The mane, of course, is very impressive. ❤
I wonder if he's treated differentely by other females and males because of that, like if they see him as a female or as a weak male. Btw the lack of mane is 100% genetics. Doesn't seem like a hair desease since the rest of his hairs look fine.
That's a good question. I actually haven't seen him in a pride yet with females. I am also curious to seeing him how he acts in a pride with other males and females. I will try to look for him when I go back on Safari soon
@@ramam8084 its funny cause if a man isn't over 6ft with decent jawline girls treat him differently and other superior guys bully him cause he looks weak black pill will hit this lion so hard
Male cats also have the same condition, MOST male cats have big heads and bulkier body builts and their cheeks are big its called a "jowl" theres a condition where a male cat looks like a female, but males know them despite having that condition through scent. So I guess male lions can tell a maneless male apart through scent.
Its adult male lion fool, This is what a male lion looks like without Mane, even lion fans are saying this is a small subadult lmao, Lions mane gives illution of looking big, in reality it looks like big lioness
He seemed like a fully grown. Usually, a juvenile male lion will still have a pinkish color on the tips of the nose but it was almost gone on this one.
3:25 It's less testosterone. There are literally male lions in the Namib Desert and Kalahari Desert which still have manes. So the hot temperatures isn't a good case here. Unless the temperature in this habitat is hotter than the deserts, which I doubt.
I’ve seen videos of the opposite as well. Maned females. Just genetic variation. Very neat to see. I know the maned females behaved like male and female lions, so I’m curious if this male also take on the gender roles of both.
Thats a rare occurrence in a specific area possibly due to inbreeding if im not mistaken. They have a disorder of too much testosterone, and unfortunately can’t get pregnant ☹️
@@magnarcreed3801 yes unfortunately they try many times in the wild. They have too much testosterone. I know there was one lioness it was caused by a tumor but not pos if that’s always the case. They seem to live a reg life though. There’s some stories on it out there too. Have a good one!
I thought the lion’s mane only made males stronger and healthier, but I was wrong. I watched a documentary where lions were living in a desert and don’t have manes but were shorter.
They usually say if a male is stressed ot does something to their mane.Maybe it is his Gene's because some take a little longer to appear.I can see the difference.He has some of his mane.It just might take a little longer.He still looks very young.
@@ramam8084 I just watched a video on this male lion in a zoo and he was very aggressive around the female if any male would come near her and was rough with her at times so they figured to separate him or get him fixed.He lost his mane but is very playful now.
According to a study on the sexual dimorphism of the skulls, this completely maneless male can be distinguished from the female by looking at his proportionally-larger forehead and thicker, less-streamlined facial structure. That's because a male lion skull has a longer sagittal crest than the female.
I thought that maneless lion looks cool. I bet he will be more agile, stronger, and faster when he fight. The down side is, he dont have any shield to protect him from bite. But who care if he already whip a mane lion before it gets to his neck.
I've seen this but usually they have just a little scruffiness around the mane making them look male. This one has nothing at all but you can still tell the difference by his big head and body. There's other hot places where they have little to no manes.
If you look closely there is also some mane colored buzz on the neck too. Prolly just some genetic fluke. Oddly enough, a maned female is usually caused due for whatever genetic fluke or ovary abnormality (like a tumor) causing her to have way more testosterone than usual, and a maneless male because of _too much_ testosterone
The lion has a mane in order to defend itself, just like animals that are killed by another predator. That is to say, like a bull, a turtle, or any other animal, it defends itself with what it has, whether horns, shells, or long claws. This does not mean that it is strength or pride, as ignorant people claim.
The heat analogy is not right. Its normal for animals to have a few inconsistencies in their own types. You'll find even humans who have completely no beards yet they are males of adult age. Nothing much to wonder about in this video.
For crying out loud people pay attention! that’s a juvenile male, just watch the clip to the end, the female walked up to a fully grown male lion, now if that other lion was an adult the big male at the end of the clip would have chased him off already. the maneless lion is not even fully developed since his neck muscles are not formed and he’s almost the size of the female he’s following around, probably a sister from his litter.
Click bait, no thank you. You had an arrow pointing directly at the lions testicles and most of the viewers would have hoped there would of been full discussion regarding this region. Very misleading and unethical
The lion has no lion factor or king factor without the mane niether the debate of lion vs tiger would have started if all male lions never had manes.doesnt look big or intimidating.nothing against that indvidual but just observations.
Also there is no bush there the mane helps protect their necks from the bush . Also there neck in fights ect where he lives there's no need for him to have a mane and genetics
Lions don’t live in jungles fella, at least know the right terminology. BTW that’s a juvenile male, his neck is not even developed and is still very playful, fully grown male lions are extremely anti social. it’s obvious this dude knows nothing about lions.
Reason why lions dont have mane is CUS mane requires testosterone, like in deer, but mane doesnt fall of, it only shrinks when lion gets old, most of the lions who dont have mane are castrated, meaning they dont have testers to produce sperm or hormones, i dont know specific reason for this one maybe genetics mutation since tsavo lions usualy dont have mane, there are also cases where lionesses did have mane but its unknown what causes mane in lioness
Well, it's a trans. He change his name for Cynthia and shaved his mane. You laugh perhaps but disgustingly, some humans do that cheat and we're supposed to find that normal!!!

the face is like from a giant jaguar
Well there are females with manes. Why not males without manes.
I believe that’s a rare disorder in a specific part. Too much testosterone and unfortunately they can’t get pregnant
I don't think lionesses have manes
@@MAruGGs damn
@@AK47onYt yup of course it’s a bit more complicated. But that’s the extremely basic explanation of it. love my lionesses and the big fellas

Female lions recognize the males by the smell, not by the looking
Absolutely just like how girls can't recognize men when they loose their hair.

This male lion appears to be a large sub-adult or juvenile lion that has no notable scruff around the neck.
It is an adult male... lionesses are not too small.
it is a full adult, look at the nose
That's right 🙏🏽
Its adult male lion fool, This is what a male lion looks like without Mane, even lion fans are saying this is a small subadult lmao, Lions mane gives illution of looking big, in reality it looks like big lioness
@@Kratos7686 u call that small ur delusional
Both the Tsavo man eaters were maneless males.
Yep
I call it evolution... that lion learned how to shave
Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He wants to be a tiger.
hahaha
You could be wrong, but I know there's a lion species where the male doesn't have a mane.
If you look close He has a little Buzz-cut Mohawk going on…looks like an overgrown cub
Is it fully grown or is it still growing?
He seemed like a fully grown. Usually, a juvenile male lion will still have a pinkish color on the tips of the nose but it was almost gone on this one.
@@ramam8084 Oh ok, thank you.
@Teyae T If he loves me he come tell me himself.
This is fascinating! I heard the cause of manelessness in wild male lions is a very high amount of testosterone. Look up about Tsavo lions.
I thought high testosterone causes growth of a mane.
It should be the exact opposite, since lion mane is totally dependent on testosterone, having less or no mane would mean low testosterone.
3:25 It's less testosterone.
There are literally male lions in the Namib Desert and Kalahari Desert which still have manes.
So the hot temperatures isn't a good case here.
Unless the temperature in this habitat is hotter than the deserts, which I doubt.
Then what about Tsavo lions? Every male there either has no mane or little mane.
He looks just like a bigger female. That’s interesting !🤔
I’ve seen videos of the opposite as well. Maned females.
Just genetic variation. Very neat to see. I know the maned females behaved like male and female lions, so I’m curious if this male also take on the gender roles of both.

@@MAruGGs
Can’t or haven’t tried?
Would be interesting if they started to evolve manes XD

The Maneaters of Tsavo didn't have manes.
I thought the lion’s mane only made males stronger and healthier, but I was wrong. I watched a documentary where lions were living in a desert and don’t have manes but were shorter.
but this male lion's jaw look smaller than the regular male lion, isn't it?

You might be right, and of course he does looks young but they seemed like they were in a mating season and followig around each other everywhere...

@@ramam8084 yes, they cut his balls and the mane fall of by time, he used to have a great dark mane
@@mongomongo9789 That's very interesting... I am now curious to know why his mane fall of by time after been fixed
Ok sirrr thanks for this video
You are welcome!
As long as he doesn't use the ,"Other bathroom's the other males and females shouldn't get to suspicious😆

Minoxidil 5% twice a day and he's gonna be good
Mane makes them look quiet big, just realized.
How is he now?
When she loves cleanshave boys🐱
Is he still alive?
I thought that maneless lion looks cool. I bet he will be more agile, stronger, and faster when he fight. The down side is, he dont have any shield to protect him from bite. But who care if he already whip a mane lion before it gets to his neck.
uh, no. Manes don't weigh THAT much and it certainly wouldn't slow down a powerful cat. "looking cool' means squat in the wild.
@@slickchick5811 i love this comment lol

Stress being a nomad could also be to blame

Please don’t misgender him, he either identifies as a TransLion or is non binary. Can we not make assumptions to avoid hurting its feelings ? 💀💀💀
that is a Mhondoro(possessed with ancient African ancestors)
though its a male but it seems its a dwarf lion because even without mane it should have been considerably bigger and taller than female
What happens if a female maned lioness interact a Male maneless Lion
Wtf maybe the mayn just didn’t grow I think it look like a big lioness
So the male lion without his mane is mistaken for a lioness, correct?
Amazing! I had thought he might have had a traumatic castration in a fight, but this is clearly a genetic anomaly.
So that's what a cave lion or American lion would have looked like.
Are they lions with the capacity for pregnancy, that possess angency?
Lions can’t get pregnant no if that’s what ya meant
Maybe this is a female lion with testicles.
Ever considered that possibility?

Well yes it was been on Indonesia zoo one of males doesn't have a mane but he got strangled by hook so I'm have nightmares cuse of it
Sorry that you feel that way

He looks fully grown to me. And below the mane, that's how all male lions look.
They're on same pride u moron and it's not juvenile his face is mature enough probably 3-4 years old.
A transgender lion ?
Click bait, no thank you. You had an arrow pointing directly at the lions testicles and most of the viewers would have hoped there would of been full discussion regarding this region. Very misleading and unethical
Your first explanation made no sense
He be like I’m a female trapped in a man’s body
The lion has no lion factor or king factor without the mane niether the debate of lion vs tiger would have started if all male lions never had manes.doesnt look big or intimidating.nothing against that indvidual but just observations.
hahahahahahahahaha....... So it's all about mane , without mane this LION look like LIONESS and they LIONFAN dare to challenge TIGERS
Also there is no bush there the mane helps protect their necks from the bush . Also there neck in fights ect where he lives there's no need for him to have a mane and genetics
That's not a Male lion ffs, way too small. She probably has some kind of growth in that region. Come on, people will believe anything
What is the size of this jungle ?
30,000 square kilometers includes it games reserves
Lions don’t live in jungles fella, at least know the right terminology. BTW that’s a juvenile male, his neck is not even developed and is still very playful, fully grown male lions are extremely anti social. it’s obvious this dude knows nothing about lions.
Oh wow
I just googled and its not unusual.

I wonder if he hunts better than most male
Lol he's got low T. This happens to male lion when they are on certain medications
its LGBT+ !! a transgender lioness LMFAO!!!
-_-
Lol
Absolutely not, lmao
Not terrifying enough!
Kevin Richardson says its low testosterone
For some reason people sees fine how gender differences can be applied in animals but in humans the LGBTQ spectrum is bad 🤷
well its all genetics, also if the benefits are not obvous.
ot is a male lion but a young one , 2-3 ys old
This must be an Asian lion 🦁 😂😂
Even a very very you male lion cub, with less developed mane, has bigger jaw and neck than this one here im sure this one is very weak
There is also a female lion with mane
It's protecting lion from tiger death grip on neck 😁. Without mane lion is not a match for tiger
That's the same affect when a man shaves his beard
I wonder if he’s still identify himself as a lion 😊
Mane is brown by dominant males/females
Well, it's a trans. He change his name for Cynthia and shaved his mane. You laugh perhaps but disgustingly, some humans do that cheat and we're supposed to find that normal!!!
Some of them can born without there mane
Or maybe you put the lion to sleep, and shaved it’s mane for entertainment purposes.
Mimi ni mungu
Lol.. some human females have BEARD LOL
Without the mane the lion looks weak
Like a man without a beard
@@TheMrExemplar that’s right
Idk I know a lot of pussies with beards
this says a lot about our present society
That's nature
That's how I am I can't grow a beard and look weak and wimpy
