That bite is the killing bite lions use on their prey.

It's a good thing Simba has such a magnificent full mane. Scar only got a mouthful of hair.

[KionScar]

Simba's mane isn't exactly full yet being a Young Adult, but it's enough. (SP other half because he's older (more of an adult) he has more mane)









Notice Scar's paw's/paws location on Simba on that last one, though he probably got that from Simba himself:

[SimbasGuard]

Good point, Simba's mane is not as full in the Lion King as it is in Lion King 2, but it seems to me that it is much fuller that most young adult lions. and like you said it was enough.

[KionScar]

Simba lucky he somehow worked up the strength then ^.
It's a bit difficult to tell with Scar but I think his mane did grow a bit what do you think?

[SimbasGuard]

Sorry I can't really tell either.

I don't think it grew, I think it just looks more well kept, presumably due to being "king"
