There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Shoulder height is the same, hip height slightly in favor of nhenha, feet height greatly in favor of mfumo. the perspective is deceptive, but mfumo is clearly the bigger boy.

But I'll just assume nhenha to be the biggest and youngest just to end this argument
This video of Tristan is from Aug 2017, they where over 2 years at that time on Djuma and well known by all guides by their names..
What are even those lines? Do you even see that Nhenha is atleast 1-2 meters to the left and in front of other 3, so comparing like this doesnt work as Nhenha is further on the photo.. In fact in this photo Mfumo is the same shoulder height as Tinyo who has its head down while Mfumo up, but you ignore that aswell..
And you choosed only this picture and ignore my all others where Nhenha is clearly bigger and still didn't put any of your evidence out..
I didn't said that Nhenha is the youngest, i said i believe he is "one" of the youngest and younger then Tinyo in my opinion, althrough that we will never know 100%.
Now you go and still believe that Mfumo was the biggest, which you heard somewhere (still didn't give me 1 source/report where you heard that) , but dont try to convince me that or this forum, because i want only truth to be told about lions, and not false info, rumors, narratives etc.. Cheers..
Nhenha is not 1-2 meters away and the lines are pretty clear. His shoulders and feet should be equally higher than mfumo's, but they're not. Tinyo is not important in this argument, he is shorter both in lenght and hip height and of course I'll ignore him. You make irrelevant points to disrupt the conversation. And you said nhenha in your opinion might be THE youngest, not "one" of.
Nhenha is the biggest, youngest and more dominant. Rangers know nothing compared to mr. tr1x24, the bastion of truth. I humbly retire from this argument. cheers!
I'm not going to give you my ophthalmologist's contact details, or lecture you on the effects of perspective in a two-dimensional image, but taking landmarks on this photo and connecting them with a line doesn't really make sense.
This is all the less so since the spontaneous impression given by this image is that Nhenha is not on the same level as the other three.
In all objectivity, if you want to demonstrate that Nhenha is not the tallest of the four, it is not with this shot that it will be possible.
Anyway, it does not matter much, whether one lion is larger than another, especially if it can no longer have any effect in their interaction, as in this case, one of them is no longer alive.
