Chuck Norris, Not necessarily there are brown mane, red name, yellow mane lions that are also healthy young lions. The darker the lion's mane when in their prime, the higher levels of tesrosterone, and one of the reasons lionesses are so atracted by black mane lions, this is according to scientists.
I just want to let everyone know that the reason why they're saying it's rare is because it's a rare Ethiopian lion. These lions are known for their exceptionally long and extremely dark manes. This particular lion is in the bale national park in southern Ethiopia. Bale national park lions are strictly forest lions, they range in altitudes up to 14,000 ft high in the mountains. The habitat of Bale lions ranges from tropical rainforest in the lowest altitudes, to temperate forests higher up, cold grasslands at even higher altitudes and then alpine tundras at the highest parts of the national park, so of course the lions have adapted to this diverse range of mountain climates. Lions high in the mountains have thicker fur to survive the cold and also develop much longer manes than low altitude lions, their manes cover the majority of their bodies and also extends down to the groin area. The lion in the video lives in the low altitude part of the bale national park, which is the reason why his mane is not as large and his coat is not as thick. Lions in the forests and mountains of Ethiopia are quite stocky and robust in build but are generally slightly shorter than savanna lions, all of which is due to their forested and mountainous habitats.
Atlas Lion Thanks, but unfortunately most people won't listen or try to understand our comments, no matter how knowledgeable our comments are, they still strongly believe that no wild lion lives anywhere other than savannas.
+101661027026156399659 Well, Atlas lions were not the only lions to have that physical appearance. Every type of lion can have that appearance if they live in cooler climates, that's why Ethiopian mountain lions are able to grow those large manes, because of the cooler mountain climates.
So racist, just because you see a black lion walking towards you, you don't need to get back in your car and lock the doors. You dont do that for a white lion, that's for sure.
@@paulsmith4686 of course it's an elephant, But the Lion will always be at the top of the food chain among predators where ever he goes...True King Of Beast!!
Great footage thank you for sharing your encounter. The lions with black manes are regarded as being very healthy and are very rare like the photographer said, this is some of the only footage I've seen of a black mane lion ! Very cool !
I did never seen beautiful lions than Ethiopian lions. They are different than other lions with their reddish frontal mane and extremely dark mane(I think that's why they are called black lions in Ethiopia). I visited them in the capital city Addis Ababa zoo. They are just magnificent
Lions look so majestic that if they extinct some hundred years ago we could have never imagined something this majestic could exist in real life hearing about their eye witnesses accounts
amazing just amazing the most handsome and majestic beast the mane is just beautifull i love black maned lions they are just look absolutely amazing animal's
Q_Scope_Long Horn If you were correct, I'd have been less likely to identify your comment as "lion namedropping". But Makhulu's mane is _definitely_ no darker than the fella featured here.
Lions with more testosterone have blacker manes. They're also more aggressive and hunt more often. Years of watching NatGeo taught me this.
The ladies love the dark maned lions the most . Something to do with genetics .Survival of the fittest .The more aggressive the better they are at protecting the pride.
So basically the black maned lion is the true alpha
Defril Prihadyansyah yee
I hear they’re descendants of Barbary lions. Bigger, dark manes, straight killers.
Lady lions be like: Look at that big, thick, black mane!
this lion is breath taking. i wonder how can people hunt those amazing animals

That big boy ain't scared of the dark at all,you don't want to meet him in the dark.Magnificent animal.
That was a once in a lifetime opportunity to capture this Lion as close to the camera lens as you can get ... incredible footage.
Thanks for checking-out our Lion, I'm From Ethiopia and that Lion is the most Iconic and legendary lion in the whole Bale-park, Ethiopia.
I hope he's protected 🙏🏻 Plenty of scum in the world hunting these beautiful lions. Hopefully hunters will meet their fate one day 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Absolutely!
No opposable thumbs, can't read/write, no toolmaking or using ability, not many friends, drives its young from family....yeah king of the world. Lmao
I love how male lions walk around like no f..ks given.

That’s my thinking
Thanks for the capture, amazing and breathtaking
:D
Just like ur beauty...amazing and breathtaking :)
Tan Jags real smooth...
Imagine driving on a lonely road at night and you suddenly see this thing coming.
What a magnificent beast... the aura... the power!
It is so intimidating, they really have nothing to fear.
Besides hunters...
but in their mind if they’ve never seen their own being hunted than they do not fear anything
Oh they do. Lions will yeild to elephants.

@@paulsmith4686 ONLY TEMPORARILY, HE'LL BE BACK, no herbivore dies of old age, eventually old or weak a carnivore will take him down.
That took some courage to keep the camera on him while he was looking at you close to the car. Well done! I am glad he went his way.
it looks beautiful...dangerous but a true beast, such incredible sight.
Insane! Your dedication is greatly appreciated.
What an amazing experience!! I wish I could experience that
Photographer thought "This is a life time opportunity". He knew the rule. Cameraman always survives.
absolutely gorgeous animal. i wish i could become a guardian for these amazing animals and keep the safe from harm from humans.
Black mane lion is the dominant lion, so scar would be the dominant one but hollywood makes everything dark or black bad or weak.
abdi libaax scar isn’t weak he’s just evil jealous because his brother got all the attention and respect
Martin Quintanilla 5 no mufasa was the stronger lion
P Hunnidban duh but scar was a smarter and more aggressive lion
What about puddin king?
@@mjministry Wasn't more aggressive.
What a beautiful creature
That lion was chillin. He was not concerned whatsoever about that photographer. If he was, the photog would have known it

This is the most muscular wild male lion I ever seen, this one is as heavily muscled as many wild Bengal tigers I seen and wild Siberian tigers..
That's what I noticed. There are some lions that a huge.
@@SuperMuneera -I wouldn't use the words huge, since we don't know how much it weighs, it's just very muscular...
