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.

Sizanani was much larger even through he wasn't particularly big male either. Skorro Sr was barely matching Mbiri females in height.

Kinda it does. Of course sons are not copy paste of their fathers, nevertheless genes are important factor in development of direct individuals. Sons in general will be more or less similar size as their fathers depending from environment factor like availability of food.

I do not know if he was. There are bassicly no sources on Skorro pride from that peroid of time. Saying he was sired by old Skybeds or old Birminghams is nothink more than blind guess.

I do not think it makes much sense to not include those as all of them deffinitelly has some part of their territory within Sabi Sands with Kruger male(s) in particular.

I would not expect Ndzenga males (exept Orange Eye male), Mohawk Avoca, Nkuchuma male or Nhenha to be smaller than Tumbela male. DM is probably one of the tallest lions around and as far is he is in at least decent shape he shouldn't be smaller than Tumbela male either. If Skorro Jr is bigger than other Tumbela male and sickly Blondie Avoca, this is not a lot. If Skorro Jr would be among largest lions of Sabis Sands he would have to outsize few more of the mentioned males which I would not expect he does.
Through in the end all those are just guessing as without meassurements and weighting lions we can bassicly only do that.
