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.

Tell me, by that logic, how much bigger should Matimbas be over Mapogos?? , If it goes Mapogos >Selatis>Majingilanes >bboys > Matimbas??
By that logic Mapogos should be the size of subadults..
You cant look like that, all those lions are quite similar in size, some bigger, some smaller, yes, but you cant see the difference between similar males in size if they are not side by side, or weighted.
You can see the difference between idk, some smaller males like Nsuku,Tinyo, Selati #3, Kinky Tail etc. compared to bigger males like Hairy Belly, Selati #1, Dreadlocks/Makhulu, Nhenha, Dark Mane Avoca, Big Boy Charleston etc..
But you cant see the difference between idk Hairy Belly and Big Boy Charleston if you dont see them side by side, because size difference is minimal..
So, i dont like these comparisons, because majority of males are quite similar in size..
If you have seen wild male lions irl you will know what am talking about. Also there was this post on WF of 2 captive lions. One was 180 the other 250 he was called aslan i think. And there was barely any size difference. But wait till you see them irl you will think different. And yesapogos were pretty much avarage except for rasta,dreads and makhulu i dont see whats the problem here
