Is it the N Avoca that are the larger of the Avocas, or the S Avocas? I ask because in all of the pictures I see, those N Avocas look like massive beasts, just like these images of DM.


RE: Avoca male lions - Hairy tummy - 11-13-2020

Dm looks a very tall powerful lion, mohawk n blondie look pretty average size to me
The s. Avoca look very heavily built males but not so tall


RE: Avoca male lions - T I N O - 11-13-2020

Legend Safaris confirmed that the S.Avoca males are much bigger than the N.Avoca males.

DM Avoca issaid to be really big and the largest of all Avoca males. I do not know who is bigger out of rest - other two Northern Avocas or Southern Avocas.

I have asked to Game Ranger Rob about size of the N.Avoca male (Darkmane) and the Gowrie males. He says that are very similar in size
