They say that if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, the chances are it is a duck.
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.
makes me wonder if this makes the lion/lioness an ftm or an mtf or androgyne ::) :D :)
