'Attractive' Lions with Dark Manes have a Little Secret!

I was watching the Animal planet the other day and they had some interesting information about lions.

It seems the darker their mane is, the more attractive they are to the females. Scientists have determined that those with dark manes tend to be healthy and even have less lice.

There's one big drawback however. Those dark manes, unlike the light ones, attract the sun more and tend to sap the lion's strength.

When their that hot, scientists say, their sperm is weak and too slow to impregnate an eager female! What irony! What a trick of nature.

It's one time when the best-looking mammal doesn't get the girl!
