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.

I do not think 3,5 years old Othawa male was any less impressive in comparison with Othawa females. Perhaps guides on some video will compare those males to other dominant males in the arena so we would get some impression on who big those males are. I myself do not expect them to be partucularly big.
"Reminds me of the young Birmingham male"
It is one think to look impressive in comparison to Othawa females and other think in comparison to Ross males. There is rather no doubt that Birmingham male is big individual. Tumbelas however... we can be only guessing at that point how would they compare to other adult males in the arena.
We will see the Potential of these lions over the next year. Their manes needs to grow and they need to bulk up as they become more dominant. Over the next year they will also make an impact in Western Sabi Sands, both against HB and against the Othawa Male who will no doubt have to face the challenge. After all this we will see the potential these males have not only in size and looks but also in their success.
