I even remember reading Mod Tshokwane/Majingilane's posts from back in the day and even him seemed to believe Majingilane were average males.

They were easily above average though, big guys, and there was a clear difference between the biggest and the smallest. SN was a very large lion. A shame we never got to see 5th in his prime, may have looked even more impressive.

5th, I have read, at the time he was killed, was the most impressive of them all. SN surely filled out in a massive way since that time, as did all of them, but the 5th was already impressive. Perhaps he was older by a year or so, I have no idea, but he was a very strong cat, that much is indisputable, the fact that he was even able to stand after the mauling he suffered, his flesh hanging off of his back legs, attests to as much. Not many creatures, period, could stand after enduring something like what he did. Reply
