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.

So the Skorro and Nkuchuma are supposed to be big or small after all? Because kinda they are dominant males in the Londolozi right now... Aside even if we look at just past couple of months peroid of time then actually most of Sabi Sands adult male lions were seen on Londolozi (PCs, Talamatis, Kambulas, both last Avocas, Skorro, Nkuchuma, Ndzengas and Gijimas) so it is not like guide is making his opinion by looking at Gijimas through the prism of Ndzenga males. Also that is just amount of males seen on Londolozi through the past months. This guide probably seen much more lions through out his carrier.

In current population is SS full of Mantimahle bloodline I would expect Tumbela to be among the smallests.

Avocas were standing up there and Dreadlock was laying down so it would be impossible for him to appear bigger.

You just wrote "was considered" which alone means by default "was commonly considered" which pretty much is the same as if you would wrote straight up "was the biggest".
