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.

BBoys are average size lions, but they where very impressive and bulky in their early ages when they come in SS, for example N. Avocas where nowhere near that impressive when they come..
For me Bboys are ones of the most beautiful lions, i cant wait too see their sons fully grown up (if they make it).
Nhenha and Mfumo are not average male lions. And neither are the Birminghams, their height is what is average, not their overall size. Nsuku and Tinyo are very short but have alot of bulk. Birminghams are extremely bulky male lions. I've seen them in person and they are more muscular than the Mantimahle males. Nhenha is also very tall when he stands up straight. Rasta of the Mapogo was also an average heighted male lion but he even bested the massive Makhulu. Mr T was a tall lion like the Avoca and Othawa and so was Dark Mane Majingilane. Birminghams are tanks with big bulk but their height is not as impressive.
Nhena and Mfumo are bigger than average I'd say. They are not the tallest lions but have good heights, they are more bulky compared to the Avocas. Nsuku and Tinyo are short but Nsuku is more stocky and muscular while Tinyo is an overall small lion. I do disagree that the Mantimahle are not as muscular as the Bboys, Mantimahle are some of the tallest lions and also very muscular, just bigger lions. Mr T was a tallish lion but with average muscle mass, Kinky tail was very stocky though.
Ive seen many. I dont live near or at the Kruger but travel there twice a year every year for the past 10 years or so. My Uncle is a ranger and I have travelled to many different parts. Near or around Sabi, I've seen one Mapogo though I was young and do not remember well who he was in 2010(My uncle has only told me some stories) ,Majingilane, Matimba,Birmingham, Mantimahle and one kruger coalition whose names I do not know. The Mantimahle are huge males but the Birminghams looked Bulkier and more muscular especially from the front. Tinyo is very Bulky in the front. His paws and shoulders are extremely wide. Nsuku was Bulky all round. Nhenha was just outright huge to me. Not the tallest Lion Ive seen but his Length was the size of more than half the Jeep we were in. He had a full stomach but you could tell how lean he was. No shred of fat on him. I've never seen Mfumo in person but the guide said he was the second most impressive after Nhenha.
