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.

I'm not saying he's larger or smaller than any specific lion but in this video it clearly shows how big he is and he is massive. The video is extremely clear and high quality.
This video was taken last year and Nhena still appears to be the same size and condition.
That's the thing...compared to what?
I don't recall which guides of safarlive said the bboys were on the smaller side, but they probably meant the coalition as a whole, not all individuals. Mfumo and Nhenha were average, while Tinyo, Nsuku and Scrapper were less so.
The thing about Nhenha is that he is quite the looker. Picture perfect. Bulky with a lush mane. I'd dare to say he is the best looking lion in Sabi Sands for the past 10 or maybe 20 years. Nguvu and Golden Mane not far behind.
