## Caption

Photo by mattiasklumofficial | Male or female? It sure looks like a gorgeous male mane, but this stunningly beautiful lion is a female known as Mmamoriri, photographed close to Mombo Camp in Botswana's Moremi Game Reserve. While treated as a female within her own pride, outside the family group she is thought of as a male, which appears to make it easier to fend off hyenas and rival males.
