 | | The male lion, easily recognized by his mane, may weigh up to 250 kg (550 lb) Females are much smaller, weighing up to 150 kg (330 lb). |
 | | Lions have also been known to breed with their close counterparts, tigers (most often Amur), while in captivity to create interesting mixes. |
 | | Because the lion passes on a growth-promoting gene, but the corresponding growth-inhibiting gene from the female lion is not present, ligers are larger than either parent. |
