Both Mbiri males are tall and muscular tho have in mind that every guide which worked with Mbiris seemd to not have any doubts that Scar is the overall larger of the Mbiris. Now big mane covers a lot of Scar's mucle so it is hard judge his size, but back in the day when Mbiris were settling down as dominant males and Scar did not have that big mane it was visible that his chest and back are wider than those of Shaka. On the other note I believe Shaka's size is very underrated as most view him through comparison to his brother, but in fact it is not that Shaka is small, but rather that Scar is very big and Sharka not that far behind him.

Do you compare ludging Mpondos by forum users by Pictures and very few videos of Mpondos to judge of guide who had good view on life on Mbiri males and multiple good life views on RRM? Really?

Nobody say they are huge. Also different guides many times compare size of various lions and they seem to know what they are talking about, especially when it comes to compare lions within one coalition.

Guide said Scar is bigger than RRM and RRM is bigger than DM and Orpens, the rest is purely your (over)interpretation. Firstly Junior did not necessarily (yeah I know you have different opinion regarding to what age lions keep on growing) grow much or even at all. Secondly Junior did not necessarily was quite as large as Ginger. I know on videos he looks close or around Ginger's size, but on life difference could possible (I am just speculating) be visible. Thirdly you say HB was slightly bigger than Ginger, but word "slightly" in itself is a very a relative term.
