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.

What a gorgeous beast! Definitely, one of the biggest lions around Kruger at the moment
Although the south shishangeni male isnt in his prime anymore he is still probably close to the max weight for lions. The problem is lions with huge dimensions are rather "lean" compared to a other lions, which are visibly bulkier (The recent nomad male I posted before). But wont change the fact he will look probably small next to the SS male. And in his prime SS had even the bulk.
In a conversation with some guys who saw him really close they said he was around 150cm tall at his head. It should give you a idea of his dimensional size.
