Riga 40:
'''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.'''
