Lion Species
These kings of the jungle can weigh between 250 and 550
pounds, depending on sex and age and can grow up to be 14 years old in
the wild and over the age of 20 years old in captivity. They become
capable at hunting at the age of two and are fully grown after 5 or 6
years. Male lions are distinguishable for their impressive manes, which
signifies their masculinity and reflects their health. The darker and
thicker the mane, the healthier the lion. It allows the lions to appear
stronger and frightening to warn off enemies, particularly humans, and
appeals to lionesses that are scientifically proven to mate more with
lions with thick and dark manes. Lions with no manes are either
genetically inbred or have been castrated.
