Nkuchuma male seems to be roughly same size (exept for a bellie and mane size). I was expecting Nwalungu males to be a bit or more smaller than Nhenha, but it doesn't seem the case. 

Nhenha was described by many guides as "one of the largest male in SABI SANDS" in this past few 3-4 years (alongside prime DM Avoca, as S. Matimbas got old) , that doesnt mean he is above average or something on grand scale,its just between this gruop of males in this area. 

We still didnt see Nhenha and Nkuhuma male shoulder to shoulder, so we dont know for sure, still looks to me that Nhenha is a bit bigger overall. 

And if NK male is near the size of Nhenha, why would that mean that Nhenha is not that big, rather than that NK male is big? 

Nwalungu males where not small males, even before they link together, Styx male was always looking as impressive and massive specimen for his age, when NK male join him, they where around the same size, both of them where already much bigger then adult Styx females, even before at 2.5-3 yrs of age NK was noticable bigger then Mhangeni Big Boy, who was more then half a year older. People prob got that impression that NK is small male because lack of his mane, which definitely helps for males to look bigger and more impressive. 

But NK male is not some small or underaverage male and is coming into his prime years. Reply
