미국 오클라호마 시티 동물원에 사는 암사자에게서 수컷의 상징인 갈기가 자라 동물원 관계자들이 당혹스러워하고 있다. 올해 18살짜리인 브리짓이라는 이름의 이 암사자는 지난해부터 목과 머리 주위에 갈기가 자라났다.동물원 수의연구 책임자인 제니퍼 다고스티노는 테스토스테론의 과다 분비 때문일 가능성을 열어놓고 있다. 보통 갈기는 수컷에게서 생후 1년이 지나 테스토스테론 수치가 높아지면 두드러지게 자란다.갈기가 자란 암사자는 브리짓 외에도 있다. 아프리카 보츠와나의 오카방고 델타에서 다섯 마리의 야생 암사자에게서 갈기가 자란 것이 포착됐다.
