One Londolozi ranger said Nhenha and PCM were a bit bigger than Amahle and another one seems to think PCM ( and Gijimas ) are also much bigger. Which is also worth mentioning.

Ok, Nhenha is prob a bit taller then Amahle i agree, but height is not only factor for size, with Amahles mane and bulkines i wouldnt be suprised he looks close in frame to Nhenha or NK.

2 problems with this sighting:

1. 2 PCMs have much larger mane, which brings a lot to frame size

2. 2 PCMs are almost full bellied while NK is empty and looks more thiner then usual

Mass difference is noticable between a lion who eated recently + has full belly, or male who didnt eat for few days and has empty belly.

Many factors came to play, lions are not always in same condition and same mass.

I agree that PCMs are prob a bit bigger then NK, but NK in peak condition + full belly + big mane like them and he is prob very close in frame to them. Reply
