Lions of Sabi Sands

[Mapokser]

Question for anyone and no one: do you think a big/bigger mane has any correlation with body size in lions within a coalition?

I was thinking about the Sabi Sands coalitions and in many cases the lion with the biggest mane was the biggest in size.

- Among Mapogos, Dreadlocks and Makhulu had the biggest mane and were the biggest, Mr.T had the shortest mane and is said to be the smallest;

- Among Majingilanes, Scarnose had the biggest mane and was said to be the biggest;

- Among Matimbas, HB had the biggest mane and was said to be the biggest;

- Among Selatis, Selati #1 had the biggest mane and was the biggest in size;

- Among the Kruger males, Limper had the bigger mane and was the biggest of the 2;

- Among S.Avocas, bigger-maned male seems to be the biggest, and wasn't the same with N.Avocas, with Mohawk being the smallest?

- Among PCM, bigger-maned male is the biggest of the 2;

The examples go on, I'm sure there are exceptions but it seems that usually the male with the biggest mane happens to be the biggest lion. Reply
