Lions of Sabi Sands

[Tr1x24]

On a lot of these photos for size comparisons there is "problem" of camera angle and position of lions on it, which appears as "illusion" for us.

For example, on this photos K6 is clearly closer to the camera, so she will appear bigger compared to male, than she actually is:

On this example, male is closer, so he will appear bigger:

Best ones are like this, where both parties are very closely in straight line next to each other, on similar ground lvl and on equal distance from camera:

Although, even here, because of the grass, we cant see ground lvl on which their feat are, if K6 is slightly on higher ground, she will appear taller compared to male than she actually is.

Videos are way better for size comparisons, as we have multiple views from different angles and positions, where we can get better judgment of size, without 1 shot illusions. Reply
