Show me evidence of that pls, because as i said, even last year and when they where subs on WE before, 1 of his bros was bigger then him.. last year picture :

Here are some screenshots of him and his bro on a kill 4 months ago, and no, white male is definitely not "significantly" bigger, they are pretty much the same size:

Well... it is not easy to find the video of the standing next to each others and I am not gonna hard look for it. That white male is significantly bigger is my impression I got from watching wild earth some time ago, I wouldn't be able to find it now as well as video with Ngala guide saying white male is significantly bigger.

These are the stills from the video I saw. The white male is closer to the camera but that doesn't fully explain the apparent size difference, to my eyes he looks noticeably bigger. A lot can change in a year and I wouldn't take months old pictures as proof of how things are now, looks like he hit a significant growth spurt and his brothers didn't as much.

His 2 "brown" brothers are not the same size, so we dont know which male is on that sighting with him:

This boy on the left is smallest and prob younger, but white and this on the right are pretty much the same in size (take in account that on this photo he is few steps behind white male, so he appears smaller, they are not next to each other).

A lioness and her 3 cubs from Balule were facing a lot of pressure and repeatedly breaking out of the park. They've been relocated to northern Kruger

I think it is an old video. I am pretty sure I watched this couple of months ago.

What is the area like outside those protected areas? I'm talking about the yellowish areas on the map you posted. Is it all built up like cities? Or is it forest and small villiages, etc....?????

Young Males from the Birmingham pride, The break away Birmingham pride and the Young Skorro male. All seen within a 5km square block and all looking great.

Not too sure but I think it's a meant to represent different flora habitats

These 2 if succeed will be beasts in their prime, but current competition in Timbavati is tough, it will be hard:

6/7 Birmingham Breakaway's, 2 Mongawane, 2 BDM's, 4 BDM's, Buddy Jr., 3 Birmingham males, Monwana/Giraffe and this 2, Guernsy/Monwana.. Competition of young males in Timbavati is insane,unfortunately, most of these will fall short, prob to Birmingham Breakaway's and 4 BDM's (numbers matter).
