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.

What notices me is the less developed head of Mvula and smaller skull (ears relative to skull). Last time your excuse was the different angle, but I don't think that will change much. The difference is very noticeable.

Making an assumption based off ear size is hardly scientific. Like all other animals, ears are an individual characteristic and come in many shapes and sizes. 
Again, one is looking forward and another is turned off to the side as well. Lastly is that you have no idea the camera used, setting used, distance or angle of the shots taken. 
When we cherry pick images to compare it's easy to find examples that back our point.
For instance, if ear size were the means of determining cat size, you'd have to tell people this  African is the largest leopard on earth.
