Riga 28:
:Resta il fatto che lo spazio dato all'argomento non era equilibrato in questa voce. Sulla funzione protettiva della criniera mi permetto di restare in dubbio, e sottolineo comunque che il mio dubbio è nato dal modo in cui l'argomento è stato esposto, ovvero come un fatto "dimostrato dai filmati di combattimenti dei leoni nelle arene" (più o meno). Se esistono ricerche fatte sul campo, possibilmente da naturalisti, non ho niente in contrario a che se ne parli. [[Utente:Moongateclimber|Moongateclimber]] 20:09, 30 giu 2007 (CEST)

Se hai frainteso, allora la colpa deve anche essere mia.
Cito dalla mia fonte preferita, spero tu comprenda l'inglese, sottolineando in grassetto la parte più saliente: http://www.lairweb.org.nz/tiger/conflict4.html
Tigers use a throat grip as their primary means of killing and the lion's thick protective mane prevented the tiger gaining a hold on the throat joint. On the other hand, the tiger had no special protection, so was vulnerable to attack.
There was a great deal of lion and tiger pit fighting held in Korea until 1960. Historic reports say the lion was found very difficult to beat, again due to the head protection afforded by the mane. The film mentioned on the previous page has the tiger as the winner, but this fight would seem to be only one of many that were carried out, and all other reports found, to date, say the lion usually won.
'''Expert opinion is that the modern male lion has no equal in the cat world when it comes to his fighting ability.
Lions evolved as fighters. Among the pride, their primary job is to protect their females from marauding males who would assume control of the pride and kill any cubs. As a result, the male lion spends the great majority of his time in combat situations. Nature has supported the lion in this, ''with the evolution of a thick heavy mane for added protection and to intimidate.
''
''In the case of a lion killing another maned male many have learnt to attack beyond the mane, usually at the back of the front leg.
This happens particularly in southern areas where the lions have very thick manes.'' It is a purely learnt behaviour and the tiger would not know this technique, having never needed to use it.

Credo che sia sufficiente, però a questo punto preferirei completare assieme l'informazione in una forma a te congeniale.
