mane definition and meaning

What is a "mane"?

A mane is a long, thick growth of hair that extends along the upper neck and back of certain animals, most notably observed in lions and horses. It forms a distinctive feature and often serves both practical and aesthetic purposes. In lions, the majestic mane is primarily found in males and plays a role in displaying dominance and attracting mates. It adds a regal and powerful appearance, emphasizing their stature and providing some protection to the neck during territorial disputes. In horses, the mane is abundant and can be styled in various ways, such as braiding or trimming, for both functional and decorative purposes. It helps to keep the neck warm, provides protection from insects, and can be used for gripping or handling the horse while riding or grooming.
