Pas facile de trouver quoi dire sur le lion (Panthera leo) qui soit un peu original. Et finalement j'ai trouvé très vite quelque chose que j'ignorais.
Le lion possède à l'extrémité de la queue, une excroissance cornée qui adhère à la peau (et non à la dernière vertèbre). Son utilité semble encore méconnue. Elle se détache assez facilement ce qui fait qu'on ne la trouve pas chez tous les individus, mais sa présence est indépendante de l'âge ou du sexe. Certains avancent qu'elle servirait à augmenter l'excitation du lion lorsqu'il se fouette les flancs avec sa queue durant les combats mais rien n'est sur.

Not easy to find what to say on the lion (Panthera leo) which is a little bit original. And finally I fastly found something that I ignored.
The lion possesses at the end of the tail, a folded exgrowth which adheres to the skin (and not in the last vertebra). Its utility seems still unknown. It gets loose rather easily what makes that we don't find it on all the individual's, but its presence is independent from the age or from the sex. Some says that it would serve to increase the excitement of the lion when he whips sides with his tail during the fights but nothing is sure.

Nb: the quality of certain photos can be not so good. It is necessary to say that it is not always easy to remove totally wire nettings or reflections on glasses.
