I can't speak to the size of this lioness, but they are for sure really big boys. That Matimba bloodline showing it's colors again. 
By Graeme Mitchley 07-01-2024, the most battle-hardened lion of all, Shaka Mbiri:

Shaka has definitely regained some condition recently, does he still have that weird growth on the other side of his stomach? Has it ever been established what that actually is?

Has it ever been established what that actually is? The growth on his side actually looks like an internal hernia…his appetite and ability to eat are fine but I’m not sure how long before it gets worse. He and Zigzag are the most gangster lions! Very aggressive but such a good bond with each other and very patient with their cubs!
@adamstocks16 he still has that, sometimes it's bigger, sometimes smaller, he got that from being attacked by either Tintawalos or Guernsey and Avoca males.
He got attacked by other lions, got wounds on his belly, side and back, his spine even bent a little after that, it was just after he left Manyeleti when the Tintswalos went after him.
Then he was seen injured in Ngala while Guernsey and Avoca attacked his pride close by. Yes we can't confirm for sure if it was either Tintswalos, G/A or some other lions, but it is extremely likely that they were the culprits.

It is not a claw cut nor wound from a bite.

It is not a claw cut nor wound from a bite. I have always believed that to be a hernia, which is most commonly caused from over exertion. If so, then it may well have been the result of a battle between himself and other lions, and could just as easily be the result of a hunting injury. While none of us knows for certain, given the timeline of events and when that injury was first noticed, it could be the result of one of those interactions.
I remember when I saw this video months ago of a Mayambula male roaring and had the impression he had a snare on his neck, am I seeing things?
