They are big in height, but definitely not as massive as Xikukutsus yet, Xikukutsus are tanks.. 

If Xikukutsu are bigger then Mapoza then they are prob around the size of BDM which means they are bigger then Monwanas. And Xikukutsus beat Monwana males few months ago in a scrap if i remember correctly..

In fact the Mapoza isn't a big male as the Black dam male.
I've read a statement of Rudi, and he said that the Monwana are very big boys for be sub-adults, This was 1/2 years ago (Walkers Bush Villa) as well has mentioned that the Monwana are the resemblance of their father, and in size too!

With the camps being closed, we haven’t had as much opportunity as we would have liked to go out and explore the beautiful bush of the Klaserie. However, the times we have ventured on safari have produced some phenomenal sightings! Top of these has to be spending a whole morning with the entire River Pride*  - a total of 17 lions! Our two dominant males, Hosi and Socha, were joined by 8 females and the 7 young cubs, all happy and thriving. One of the females even looked heavily pregnant and another has been spotted mating so watch this space for even more tiny paws in the near future! We believe the 2 or 3 additional females may have come from the neighbouring Dundee pride to the west as, historically, these two prides have a close connection. Possibly they have joined with the River pride now there is a stable male influence in the area, or maybe they were just passing through - I guess only time will tell!

*Do not confuse that pride with rezident in Timbavati River pride dominated by Nharhu males. Those are two different prides.
