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.

Probably we will soon see them walking side by side and will be able to compare.

To be fair in case of most males we do not have good comparison as we see them in a company with males only from their own coalition. We seen Mantimahles tho with 5th Mantimahle while back and we recently seen guide claiming older Mantimahles were bigger than Matimbas.

Must or musn't. I would arue he was fully grown already at that age. Anyway BB male was even younger so in direct comparison it doesn't matter if they are full grown or almost fully grown beacuse if they are still growing at that age then they would be equally (at best as Skorro is older) not fully grown.

He beat Imbali male 1 on 1 so I would assume he must be quite a beast. I definitelly would expect him to be bigger than Nkuchuma.

Who do you mean be we? Some randoms in internet?
(12-27-2023, 12:22 AM)Mapokser Wrote: and there was a photographer who claimed they are average
Yeah, but then you have Londolozi opinion which is quite different. To be fair there need to be pointed out that no guide ever said Nkuchuma male is particularly big so going along the line like "there is not quite good evidence from guides opinion that Gijimas are big" and at the same time totally ignoring there are no guide opinion at all that Nkuchuma is big is rather unfair towards that Gijimas.
In general personally I would guess bigger Gijima to be bigger than Nkuchuma and smaller Gijima to be the roghly same weight as Nkuchuma.

Wathch the videos of Avocas being together with Tsalala males, than see 3Tooth Tsalala with Dreadlock... like Dreadlock should be very clearly bigger than Avocas. Avocas were more or less same weight category than Tsalalas while Dreadlock was a lot bigger than Tsalala male.

Does it say Nkuchuma is big or rather that Tumbela and Nsuku are small/bellow avarage? I would say the leatest one. Also I would't say Nkuchuma was quite as big as Nhenha.
(12-27-2023, 12:22 AM)Mapokser Wrote: We can't say if the smaller Talamati is bigger than NK, the older one has quite a bigger chest, but NK seemed to have a longer body.
Smaller maned Talamati is just as big as his brother in body, just that he is less hair makes him appear smaller.
(12-27-2023, 12:22 AM)Mapokser Wrote: Birminghams were the biggest around 2020
Which was clearly stupid. As much as I can see arguments for the Nhenha, Tinyo most definitelly wasn't among the biggest males even in that particular peroid of time with particullarly a lot of unhealy and/or old males around.

So the random ones + that one, single Singita guide comment.

Well, that can only be a prove that Nhenha is not small. Don't tell me that Nhenha was bigger than Kambula female is supposed to prove that Nhenha was biggest male around.
