Unfortunately, the same logic cannot be applied to this lion, however.
With its thunderous roar and flowing mane, it bears all the hallmarks of the male of the species.
But look a little closer and it is actually a lioness who has developed the characteristic long locks because of a hormone imbalance.
This has meant that for years other members of the pride shunned the lioness, forcing her to wander the plains of the Okavango Delta in Botswana alone.
