female lion
Maned cat's mate
A female lion is a lioness—the primary hunter in lion prides, typically smaller than males and lacking the distinctive mane.
The phrase is slightly redundant since lioness exists, but appears in children's books, wildlife descriptions, and contexts where the technical term might not be familiar: The female lion stalked the zebra herd.
