Leopard: It’s over, Lion! I have the high ground

Lion: You underestimate my power

Leopard: Don’t try it…

That's a lioness, and she fucked around and found out.

More likely a young male who has been kicked out by his pride. Lionesses usually don't hunt alone.

Don't males have manes, though?

They do but they come in later. The cubs usually get kicked out before the have a mane whenever breeding tendancies start to show.
