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.

Describe more developed?
K6 is smallest of the 4 males, and at 5 yrs of age, he prob will not outgrow them anymore.
And if you go only by mane, K3 recently outgrow him in that departmen again aswell (K3 lost his mane and development because Gijimas attack last year), but K6 prob lost a bit of mane because of maulong by Gijimas.

yeah i didn't say bigger
i just mentioned mane, because his mane is undeniably more impressive. Or at least it was, before he was attacked by the Gijimas
he has a really beautiful dark-like mane since late last year, more developed than both K3 and K5.
Taking into account ur logic he could obviously have also fell off in 'that departmen' due to an attack, by the Gijimas, and way more recently
(im not sure if he was affected, but im assuming he could've been) K6, december 2023

Before yes, atm not sure.
And yeah, injuries play big part in development.
If K3 was not injured last year by Gijimas, he would prob develop at same rate and be as (or close) impressive as K4 in that span.

So interesting. I have been reading comments how K4 looks like the grandparents. I am looking at this picture he reminds me a bit of the Rollercoster male lions. He had a similar color and the mane. His shape of his mane reminds me of the Rollercoster male lions and a bit Dreadlocks. Interesting in another picture I thought he looked like Nehena.
