Igor is definitely longer and probably taller (or about the same). Paris is more robust. Fight between these two would be unpredictable but probably very fierce, because both are quite agressive. 2years ago Paris attacked a breeder (he was playing with him like a cat with mouse, fortunately he didnt kill him), then he escaped into the visitors area (in the morning - no visitors yet) and he saw lion and lioness. For about 1 hour he tried to somehow attack the lions (before he was darted).

They had similar problems with Igor in the past. In the lion encolure there were adult "barbary" lions (male+female) and Igor was always trying to somehow attack them. The lions had to be moved to a different enclosure (and later the lion was killed by the lioness) and new lions (subadult white kruger couple) arrived. Interestingly Igor has no problem with these white lions...they are really friendly to each other...

Could their ages be different from the last time you saw them?
