I heard that the ones from Crater have a bigger chest girth at similar weights than the ones from the rest of Serengeti (and rest of lion population). From the pictures I saw, Crater Lions are definitely among the most robust lions.

Can anyone clarify this?

The lions I saw were not as large as the males I saw in the Serengeti, in any way. You'll see when I post the images, that being said.
My guide who is extremely knowledgeable, he worked in the crater for 5 years says that the largest lion he ever saw was from the crater but most of the time the lions in the Serengeti and the crater are very similar in size. He also says the crater lions have a larger mane usually but remember that the crater is usually 10-15degrees colder than the Serengeti at all times.
