Rangers from Djuma said somethink elese. You can hear James Henry here (from 1:25:30):





Also as far as I know Brent Leo Simith as well said than DM is bigger than Birminghams.
Knowing that Robin saw to both coalitions and he say that are on a similar size this is enough to know their sizes.
Anyway, Thanks for post the link

I think DarkMane is the weakest of all the Avocas with that lame front leg


RE: Avoca male lions - Gijima - 11-14-2020

@239Pu  See earlier videos. Dark Mane is perfectly fine.

"Knowing that Robin saw to both coalitions and he say that are on a similar size this is enough to know their sizes."

Rather no one will judge better size of BIrmingham males than Djuma rangers as they no just seen them, but were watching them for nearly 3 years on daily basis.

"I think DarkMane is the weakest of all the Avocas with that lame front leg"

If you mean just health then it seems like it althrough lame is not that bad and according to rangers when he is warmed up (after a bit of walking), the limp is not even visible. It is just when he  starts moving then limp is visible. Anyway as long as he hold to Talamati pride he should be perfectly fine.

Okay, that's is what you think
After all some of SS guys confirmed that the BBoys are the biggest lions around Sabi Sands.

Blondie look a very powerful lion. 
The Avoca/Giraffe genes are strong.
