I've heard 2 people be impressed by them recently. Ranger Nic Nel and now Legends Safaris so I don't know how many people want to take them literally but in regards to the Birminghams, there have been so many. The Mala Mala Guides on live said the Gowries are the most Impressive, Nic Nel said they are the most impressive, 2 Singita rangers said so and both agreed, Zaheer Ali photographer said it to me as well, Legend Safaris, I'm pretty sure James Tyrell said it as well, Nkorho recently said on live when calling the Fourways Pride Males massive that it reminded them of the Birminghams when they were in the area and Nkorho sees all 3 Avoca including DM, Flipside Wildlife Photography said it to me and I'm pretty sure he wrote it on one of his facebook posts that the Birminghams are some of the most impressive lions he has seen and he has photographed many male lions( will put Facebook link below for face book users). So that's 10 actual sources of people saying they are impressive males right? Also recently on the Manyelthi channel, the guide spoke about the incredible genes of the Birmingham Pride and their size and mentioned the Birmingham Males as well. The Birmingham Boys sister are also huge lionesses, the Birmingham Lionesses and Nharu are quite large. The oldest Nharu 3 lionesses are relative to Red Road and he is a big boy. I've also heard the Tailless Birmingham that leads the breakaway who is a sister of the Birminghams is a very big female. So all this together makes me think that all these people must be impressed by the Bboys.

The most immperssive do not need to mean the largest, but for example the best looking or with biggest manes. Moreover we talk about dirrect comparisons to other lions, about which lion is more imperessive in terms of body size..

It's definitely about size, cmon. Even Legend Safaris, I simply asked them which lions impressed them. I asked nothing about size or looks, they said Nhenha is huge and the largest and the S Avocas... Etc. I also know for a fact that Flipside Photography was speaking about size because we were having a conversation about it and he chimed in.

I did not say Nhanha is tiny. I just questioned that he is larger than DM Avoca and I backed up that claim with opinion of two Djuma guides. Reply
