You cant judge lions age based of mane development, even if they are related.. 

And he didn't developed it very late, by 5.5-6 yrs of age his mane was already fulled and no mohawk was visible anymore..juse because his brother has better genes in mane, doesnt mean that he is older.. 

Here is photo of them from the pride, they are very close in age:

I actually think that that male might be little older then bigger mane male, based on nose pigment (which is the best indicator for lions age) and this photo..

I am guessing the two circled in red are the Southern Avocas. Which one is the bigger maned male of the two?

And which is the lion circled in blue? Reply
