A famous male lion of the Serengeti national park was recently killed by two fairly young lion brothers. He was known for his dreadlock mane and very dark mane. As gruesome as it may appear, it is standard lion behaviour to fight for dominance in a pride. A male lion's gorgeous, thick mane serves as both a status symbol and a neck protector in a battle. The present male or coalition of males will fight if another male attempts to take over the pride. Filmed in Serengeti National park via Tanzania Safaris.
