Subu The Lion

After a few month most of the visitors would think he is a lioness.
 
oh I see so gradually.

thanks animal.
I presume it is the growth of the mane is to do with testrone levels?????
 
Yes it is. This happened to Port Lympne's Soloman so he is given extra hormones so that his mane will remain.
 
Does anyone know where Subu was born and if so do you know the parents?
This has been bugging me for years and i then might be able to see where his relatives are (if they are still around), Thanks.
 
hmm very interesting.
it is very interesting to note that maneaters are often maneless males. Perhaps due to the lack of testostrone and the lack used for defence is a combination to seek out easier prey.
