Call the Hair Club for Lions
Although both of these lions are male, neither has much of a mane.Lion manes vary from place to place in color and thickness; Tsavo-area lions are often maneless. This may be a "family trait" common in the area--although we don't know if these two lions were closely related.
Visit the Image Gallery for more Tsavo Lions images or go to the Reseach section to find out about what Field Museum scientists will be doing in the Tsavo region of Kenya.
