Selati #1 was monster in size, and prob one of the biggest lions around at his time, we know that because he was visiable bigger then his brothers, Selati #2 was also close in size. 

Some photos of Selatis together :

Where they that bigger then Makhulu to judge that without seeing them side by side? Idk. 

My point is that you cant tell with 100% when comparing such impressive individuals who is bigger if you dont see them side by side (like we see in coalitions, so we can see who is bigger) because size difference is prob minimal (just like it is in coalitions, its rarely that 1 lion is much bigger then other in coalition, usually that lion is above average, or other smaller, under average, so its visiable).

Great example is in Nwaswitshakas, OE is prob one of the smallest male you will see around, while other 3 are roughly around the same size, barely noticeable difference if you dont see them side by side, and thats with Wide Nose being unrelated male it seems. Reply
