actually i have just researched it on the net and eventually found an answer... lions do actually lose their mane after being castrated due to the testosterone levels depleating.
so it is true

NO. When you neuter a dog, does he lose his hair?
PS Deprivation of testosterone does not cause hair to fall out, even hair as in a secondary sexual characteristic. Do your homework,Tk.
PSS. Just because you say so does not make it true, young lady. E-mail me that proof, or post it here, now.
PSSS> Bird girl, I may relent, but you have to show me corroborating articles ( scientific ) to the one I read.

Yes, it is true..but apparently this is not the only reason Lions lose their manes. Also, when are lions really castrated except in zoos. Anyway here is a site that talks about it:

Could be feasible as the mane is a feature that develops with the sexual maturity of the lion caused by testosterone. Testosterone being formed in the testies.....it a deprivation of it may cause its mane to fall out.
