I think it is either male has good genes regarding mane and then it is growing fast and is reaching impressive size, or worst and it is growing slower and is reaching less impresisve size.  Southern Avoca are in age their mane definielly shouldn't grow anymore or are they? Perhaps one of them is not quite as old as we think he is.

It depends of genetics, stress lvl, nutrition and many more factors.. 

Some lions have "peak" manes at 6 yrs old, some later on, at 7,8 + yrs..

On this example, S. Avocas where different in manes before, when they came here, but now that difference is not visible anymore.. Reply
