Why does a lion lose his main after he’s been neutered?

Answer 1

When a male lion is neutered, he no longer produces the male hormones that cause the mane to stay full and nice. I've seen a picture of a male lion that was neutered after he had a mane. The mane fell out and he looked more like a female lion. So its true that if he's neutered he WILL lose the full mane.

Answer 2

He does not, and the word is mane.

Answer 3

A lion's mane grows because of hormones, specifically testosterone. This is the male hormone. Its in people too.
The mane is for show, to show all of the ladies that he is a man and able to reproduce. It also helps protect him when he is fighting with other guys for breeding rights.
Once that hormone is gone, which is what happens when he is neutered, he is not able to grow his mane anymore.
A female lion can grow a mane too. It happened recently. She had a hormone imbalance, she had too much testosterone, so she started to grow a mane and act like a male. They have her on meds now to fix the problem.

Answer 4

Answer 5
