грива (у животных; the long hair on the back of the neck of a horse, lion etc. • The male of the lion has a mane); космы; копна (1nterpreter); львиная грива (Why do lions wear manes and other felines not? Possibly due to their way of life. Unlike other cats, lions lead prides, a community consisting of a male, several females, and cubs of different ages. Pride members encounter each other constantly, not only during the breeding season. In such a way of life, signals regulating aggression are useful, including the ability to determine the sex of a tribe mate from afar. The mane, a distinctive feature of the adult male, serves this purpose Taras) |
