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.

Nah, he was the youngest.
He was last in the hierarchy and had the shortest mane of them all when they appeared in northern Sabi sands.
I too thought so initially. But surprised to see Mala Mala reports

Yeah from the pictures he seemed to be the smallest and with the shortest mane it's unlikely he was the same age as Nsuku he could have had a genetic propensity to have a short mane but it was probably the Malamala guides not realising it would make sense putting him in last in the list since despite him being death he was the youngest.
How likely is it that Mfumo was the same age as Scrapper and younger than the other three despite its size ?
It might be due to lower testosterone levels but he always seems late in terms of physical development compared to the other three, lighter mane, smaller mane I know the colour of the mane is mainly decided by the levels of testosterone but is the size and volume as well ?
