Lions, like most mammals, have two distinct biological sexes: male and female.
Male lions are characterized by their large size, thick manes, and role as the primary protectors of the pride.
Female lions are typically smaller, lack manes, and are responsible for hunting and raising cubs.
While lions exhibit clear biological sex differences, the concept of gender is a social construct that refers to an individual's self-identification and expression. It is not applicable to animals like lions.
