I think Mighty Long and Bob (Grimmace) were litter mates and both sired by Light Mane! They both had that face, that very wide, unique face. When I look at both long enough, especially Grimmace I cane see Notch too! But yeah I think these 2 were definitely from Light Mane!

You could be correct, but I think Long was Notch's son because he showed so much similarities with him rather than Light Mane. Here is a great photo of him - from the very few among his already adult time sightings around his 5 years of age before his death/demise. Look on his darkish mane and the face structure similarities to Notch (and his half-brothers like Caesar). He had slightly darker mane than Grimace even at his such young age.

You're right about that they were probably the two youngest brothers among the 5 boys - perhaps along with Caesar who was also from a younger littermate (could be Long's littermate maybe?) but I always thought that he was more like a Notch gene. 
But i regret the most that there were so little moment and sightings of Long, because of his very early demise, so we couldn't determine his exact characteristics. It seemed like the only sure thing was that he was the largest among the 5 brothers before Caesar has been become so large by the early 2010's. What a shame for him...would have been great if we could saw him as a fully grown male lion in his prime years. Reply
