But, to this day, no matter how many times I watch it, or how many images of other lions I view, I believe that Hildor might be the largest lion I have seen. He also appears larger than C-Boy as well. This could be due to camera angles, etc... but both of those lions look enormous. Those lionesses are also super quick to pull the trigger on attacking their own pride male, which appears to also be something you don't see every day. Truly fascinating dynamics in this pride, that has seen so many incredible hardships, which appear to be a part of their daily lives, and they have simply adapted. This is the documentary:

Wow, I remember last time I saw this documentary was in 2019. In the World lion day in Nat geo channel. C-boy and Hildur were big males, their manes were dark and healthy ones. His son, Snyggvu inherited the C-boy genes. A true beast of a male lion. BTW, There is a good documentary about Timbavati lions from the past, including the Timbavati males and Mahlathini, Sohobele males and Sohobele pride. Documentary posted below
