The lion is a large feline with a broad head, a short snout and relatively small, round ears. It has a short-haired ash-grey or sandy-yellow fur (but ranging from ochre brown to almost white) and a dark tassel at the tip of the tail. Scattered across the fur are faint spots, which are particularly noticeable in younger animals. The spots fade as the animal ages and will usually eventually disappear. Most males have dense black, brown or yellow manes of varying length on the head, neck and shoulders. In the now-extinct subspecies from North Africa and the Cape, the moon ran across the belly like a fringe. It usually takes about six years for the moon to develop properly. Females are smaller and have no mane.
