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.

Tbh I doubt that. At least in comparison with one of the Birmingham breakaways which was seen with Skorro he did not look impressive at all.

Even if he is bigger than Nkuchuma does it makes him one of the biggests in Sabi Sands? With such males around like Manimahles, Nkhulus, Plains Camps, Kruger male, Gijimas or young Talamatis I would guess most adult males currently living in Sabi Sands would put more on to the scale than Nkuchuma male would.

... by some randoms in the internet? Even looking at the years 2018-2021 only there are still DM Avoca, Othawa male, Imbali and Kruger males from which any could potentially be bigger than Nhenha. Saying Nhenha was the biggest among those is nothink more than blind guess.
Nhenha was stated to be the largest male by the Mala Mala rangers who said only the Kruger Male rivaled his size. Singita who said the Birminghams was the biggest lions around. Londolozi who said the Birminghams were the most impressive lions they'd had in a very long time and who also stated the Nwaswitshaka were not nearly as impressive. There's more from photographers as well who stated the Birminghams were the largest on the property.
