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.

Interesting because NK was as big as Nhenha who for a while was considered the biggest in the reserve.
Now we have PCM, Skorro and bigger Talamati all as bigger than NK, potentially the smaller Talamati is at least around the same size.
A reminder that the Nhenha that was partners with the Nkuhuma Male was in good condition for his age but by no means the same lion he was in his prime. Lions, just like humans lose bone and muscle density as they age along with teeth and claws that wear out. The Nkuhuma Male was in the best physical condition he has ever been in when he was with Nhenha. He even started to look like the younger Birmingham Boys but he was not the same size. Nhenha had a bigger frame and was broader. Even the Styx Male was larger than the Nkuhuma Male and he was almost a year younger.
