Desert Lions

[Pckts]

I posted this info a while back



From Looking for Lions
"Some of the largest lions I've seen, and also talking to people around Botswana - the lions in the Kalahari are some of the biggest. I can't speak personally of East Africa because i havent been there. One of the males I collared south in the Delta was quite large, but the females higher up in the Delta, in the really swampy areas, are defintely of smaller stature, but they have impressive muscular builds which we assume is from wading in the water and the sand. I have heard other guides/travellers comment on this as well. Sounds like an awesome trip you are taking! Hope you enjoy!"

Here is a nice little write up on them

This is where I think people have debates on "who's larger"

The kalahari lion is said to be tall and lean compared to a lions like Ngorongoro who are said to be bulky.

I compare it to Kahnas males in Mukki (Bheema and Kingfisher)
Kingfisher is said to be bulky but bheema is said to be larger in frame. I guess it comes down to what you consider "large"
Is it Bulk or Frame?
Ranthambhore males look very tall and lean where Kaziranga males look shorter and bulky. Reply
