Horse owners know the whole story when it comes to our horse's manes, tails and forelocks. |
The most spectacular of these is the Capel Garmon firedog from North Wales, with its magnificent horns and elaborate and fanciful manes. |
You can hardly see their faces under their manes, just black markings around the mouth and lolling pink tongues. |
In field experiments female lions tend to choose male partners with the darkest manes. |
Three year-old male lions grow manes that vary in color from black to blond. |
Male lions use their manes to attract females, to scare competitors, to make them look bigger and to protect their head and neck during fights. |
