A TikTok video showing people witnessing the natural beauty of lions up close in a wildlife sanctuary has gone viral.

The footage shows one particular male lion with a flat mane that looked as though he had gotten his hair done.

Males have big heads and big necks, and manes exaggerate those features. Some manes may be more impressive than others. In addition, researchers noted, according to LiveScience, that male lions with longer manes seemed to be more intimidating to other males.
