Sexy lion at mane
If given the choice, the female lion is more willing to lean on a sloppy man from Chicago than a guy with a neat, elegant outfit from Houston.
American scientists measured the size and thickness of lion manes at northern and southern zoos, stretching over 3,000 kilometers from Illinois to Texas. The average temperature in the zoos studied ranged from -6 to 10 degrees Celsius in January to 18-30 degrees Celsius in July.
They found that members of the lord of the lord living in colder climates had a better diaphragm roof - the key factor determining the attractiveness of female lions. The quality of the mane emitted signals for both sexes. A magnificent messy head told the other guys "go away" and be the "back here" message to the girls.
In the past, nutrition, social factors and genomes were considered important factors affecting the amount of mane, but recent findings demonstrate half the length and thickness of this sex symbol. is determined by temperature.
The thick mane will keep the heat in a hot dry climate, as if someone wore a fur cap, making the animal become extremely frustrated.
While all lions have full manes around the front, apricot, shoulder and throat, the ones living in the southern zoos lack hair on other parts like the abdomen, back, ribs. and those compared to their congeners in the north.
The lions are in the north, which represents a child in Illinois and one from St. Louis, both have extremely sexy mane. The hair grows down to half the back, covering both the front legs and even the abdomen. In contrast, two guys from the south, one from Houston and one from Tyler (Texas) all have a manly looking mane. But their hair is thinner than the ones in the north and less hair on the back as well as the belly.
But the sexy mane also has its price. It is a remote alarm signal for the prey, which makes it difficult for lions to move through the bushes, which may be the lodge's hideout.
In addition, raising the mane also makes the animal quite expensive for food and maintenance, which is why captive lions often have a shorter mane.
