[quote:Deplorable Abi ~:MV8zMzAwMzE1XzU5MDI4NTY1XzkwMjM4NUI5] [i]The "queen" they picture in ops link IS a male...so I am going to have to call BS on this.. Notice how they show a pic that covers most of the distinguishing parts of the lions body...except if you look at the tail area, that is male...females do not look like that in the rear...you are seeing part of the male genitalia..that is not female[/i] [/quote]

This lion king (pictured above) is a queen. And she’s not the only one.
Five lionesses in Botswana have grown a mane and are showing male-like behaviours. One is even roaring and mounting other females.
Male lions are distinguished by their mane, which they use to attract females, and they roar to protect their territory or call upon members of their pride. Females lack a mane and are not as vocal.
