For me he is best looking male at the moment in Kruger. For me is is even a bit ahead in that matter to Hercules male who I considered so far the best looking male around.

I also think Hercules is one of the best looking lions in Kruger. There are a lot of beautiful lions though like the Mosorini male, Red Road, Amahle N'waswitshaka, Mo Vurhami and more to come like Kambula male #6, the Hippo pool male, that one Nsemani male is gorgeous. Plus Lions that were beautiful in their primes like Nhenha and the South Shishangeni male.

It comes to personal preferance, all lions are beautiful in their own way, some have pretty faces, then some very unique faces like Tinyo, Scar Mbiri, BYM, WideNose Nwaswitshaka, Skorro Jr, Nchile etc, these guy are beautiful because they are "different" and quite unique.

To me, Tinyo is one of the most beautiful lions i have seen, althrough majority of people prob thinks he is "ugly", but i like that "Old Birmingham/Skybed" look like we have in Skorro Jr and Nchile aswell.

Also if we take in consideration mane aswell, Nsuku was prob one of the most stunning looking males in all of Kruger in his time:

Yes you're right. The Mlowathi males were average sized lions, Like the other Mapogo males, except for Dreadlocks and Makhulu.

I do not think so. There you can read opinion of James Tyrell on Majingilanes and KNP males:
"Todd these are indeed very big males, definitely bigger that the Majingilane. They have been around our Southern areas once or twice more since this sighting, and their paw prints alone dwarf those of the Majingilane. As Thelma says, 4 vs 2 might be too much for them to handle if they do bump into one another, and with one of the Kruger males having a lame hip, it would be fair to assume that the Majingilane males would come out on top in an encounter"

and the opinion of Sabi Sabi guide Ben Coley on KNP male and 2 last Mapogos which even through very in good condition, they were defninitelly well past their prime:

"Thanks for all the comments everyone. I hope it was a fitting article for such an influential coalition! News from the fight yesterday morning is that one was seen briefly with quite bad injuries to his testicles amongst other areas…but we don’t know the extent of the injuries just yet. We did find tracks for one deep in south of the reserve this morning but couldn’t locate him. It seems I underestimated the Kruger males. Although the remaining Mapogo are larger, I can only posit that their desire has left them and they merely seek to live out the rest of their days in relative peace."

He is prob very close or even has 11 yrs, they are prob born around late 2010.

Your assumption seems for me possible, but rather a stretched out to assume they were close to 5 years or even already 5 years old when they challanged Matimbas.
