@Redroadmale in a chasing match, size probably doesn't matter much, but in a fight, if there's a big difference, it sure matters.

A 170kg prime male won't beat a 270kg male. I think everybody can agree on that.

@Hairy tummy I think Makhunga is very bulky, very muscular, probably has a huge chest, I wouldn't be surprised if his chest girth would match that of Scar. In terms of length, both PCM and Mbiris have long bodies, IMO, maybe Mbiris are a bit longer.

Then there's height, I believe Mbiris are quite taller. PCM don't seem to be very tall, just around as much as average to decently big males like Tumbela and NK Birmingham. While Mbiris seem to be particularly tall.

If I can be fancy and throw in an estimation I'd think prime Scar would weight around 240kg, while Makhunga around 230kg.

But who knows, unless they were weighed or at least measured we can only speculate and make guesses that doesn't mean much as far as proof goes, it they were weighed it could turn out that my estimation is completely wrong or the opposite of what I thought.

@Tr1x24 As for Avoca's age, this photo doesn't mean much, K4's littermates have the same mohawk and are 5,5. Even K1 who will turn 6yo soon showed up bald one of these days.

Guernsey already had a decently big mane even when he was with his first partner, and he is 6+.

Mane grows at a different rate, the fact is that the dated photo of Avoca as a cub shows him as quite a big cub, looking bigger than 8+ months old Mangheni cub. Reply
