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.

If you would take lets say 100 random adult male lions from Kruger to compare then varitation would be even much bigger in such group.

If you would take 100 random adults,60- 70 of them would be around the same size, unnoticable in size difference if they dont stand next to each others, for some even then it would be hard to tell who is bigger..then few would be bigger, and few smaller.. 

Thats my point, majority of males are around the same size, unnoticeable if you dont see them stand next to each others.. 

For DeLaportes, you have HRM who is one of the tallest lions around, and 3T who is one of the smallest, so size difference is very noticable there, Talamati and Dreadlocks are in between, average sized, as majority is.. 

For Bboys, would anybody notice the size difference between Nhenha and Mfumo if they where completely unrelated and never seen together?? No they wouldn't, it would be just a speculation. For long Mfumo was considered to be the biggest of Bboys, because those rangers never saw Nhenha alongside Mfumo, they just seen that Mfumo was bigger then Tinyo and Nsuku.. 

You gave 2 examples where size difference is noticable, but i can give you many more where it isnt, and with unrelated males that is.. Just recently Styx/NK, Kinky Tail /s36 male, S. Shishangeni /Last EBM male, S28 males and Hippo Pools male, Sumatra/Hercules then from the past Junior Matimba/Buddy, Mpondos, Blondie and DM Fourways etc.. 

And if you want related males.. Majingilanes, even Mapogos where all close in size (except KT), Mantimahles, Shishangenis, Matimbas, Kumanas all close in size and many more i didn't mentioned..

And how did he compare those 3 individuals? He never seen them together, just as i didn't.. Seeing them in person 1 by 1 means nothing when there is such a small difference between them.. Its like asking him to tell me, who is bigger Scar Nose Majingilane or Golden Mane, if he never saw them together side by side. 

I can understand if he compares less impressive/smaller males to big and impressive individual, as he said that Scar is much bigger then young and still not in their prime Tintswalo males, but comparing 3 big and impressive individuals like that is almost impossible, if you dont see them side by side.. 

I bet if you show in person DM, Scar and RRM to 10 people on their own, all of them would prob had different opinion who is the biggest..
