Not one hundred percent sure but I think it´s Nsuku, he is not a big lion both Nhenha and Mfumo are bigger than him but the size difference between him and Hairy Belly is huge I guess Hairy Belly is/was considered the biggest lion in SabiSands for a reason.

But the Birmingham male's size is equal if not bigger than Hb's, and he still has quite the time to grow. His attitude is the dominant as well, Hairy belly acted extremely submissive the whole ordeal. RE: the Matimba coalition - T Rabbit - 08-15-2017 hairy belly looks like a little bit bigger than nsuku and much more darker than him. so nsuku go drink some water and when come back he lost his place in the kill to hairy belly. what amazing happening. i think hairy belly was very arrogant in his behavior as he was out of his area and alone. other male would leave the area. and nsuku could not do much thing as he was alone and in 1 to 1 he has no advantage against hairy belly. anyway the styxs are with him so bboy still in the charge.

He got lucky it was just one birmingham on the scene or it could have gotten ugly. Surprised that the birmingham didn't have a proper go at him, guess he knew the matimba was just desperate and didn't mean any harm. i think it was not that. alone nsuku can do nothing against hairy belly. its impossible HB is big and darker althoug older than him. reason why nsuku had to let hairy belly eating. i mean he tried to scary him out of the kill but matimba hold his position. who was the lucky guy HB or nsuku? cause if ginger was there nsuku would be in trouble. same thing if another bboy was there. RE: the Matimba coalition - sik94 - 08-15-2017 Since HB is alone and in birmingham males territory, its quite obvious who was the lucky one in this scenario. HB didn't know who was previously feeding on that carcass, for all he knows it could have been all four of the birminghams on the scene and that would have been a real problem.

On that video he looks a lot smaller to me, even if he's not. RE: the Matimba coalition - IñigoMontoya - 08-15-2017 The four males were BB? RIP Ginger....(Back broken.... (That remember me to KT... Mr T arrive later to fight so) A horrrible death. I think, this is the end which was a big Coalition. (Matimba Coalition). Ummm, I dont appreciate a big diferent of size. I see that mane of Hairy Belly is more dark and thick but size.... more o less. (Is my apreciation in the video).

Because the B male didn't push harder. (08-15-2017, 11:59 AM)Abomai Wrote: I expected a different outcome since the BBoy had the females around. I don't think it's a very reliable way to judge it, just because the ladies were there. The B male noticed all HB wanted was that meal, and he looked in full control of the situation. True, he didn't press it onwards, but it's understandable. After all, he was alone, the rival male was a big one, but also note that HB was acting submissively, and that says a lot. Kind of like what happen with that Northern Matimba male laying there all submissive with the rival growling at him.

They're bigger than average, remember that one of their fathers was weighted and ended up being 270 kg, which is one the highest weights a wild lion can achieve.

That's the kind of thing that should come with with links, or at least a warning that it's unconfirmed. |
