By that I mean mostly taller, he has no thin frame but some others PC included might achieve heavier builds and PC might be heavier, especially once (and if) Nhenha starts losing condition one day and gets thinner. PC males on the other can still possibly fill out more and get bigger/heavier.

As Nhenha is still quite a newcomer to that part of Sabi Sands, I take the guide's reaction linked above as likely genuine. There is always incentive to make resident animals look special but at the same time Nhenha is a nomadic male they can't be sure of whther he sticks around and it is well known he is big male (any male that is the biggest of a 5 male coalition is likely at least above average specimen), how much in comparison to other big males is a matter quite futile to solve.

Was Nhenha the biggest of the Birminghams? I didn't see much of him but Mfumo seemed to be a pretty massive specimen too. Are there any photos where we have them both of them together at comparable angles/distances? Reply
