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.
I don't think Barbary's maxed at 600 pounds NO WAY. The Barbary's weight averaged 395-440 with SOME maxing out at WELL OVER 475 pounds.
The Asiatic lion of Palestine weight was pretty much the same as today in the Gir forest 348-418 pounds with an OCCASSIONAL Asiatic lion weighing WELL OVER 475 pounds.
Basically when you see a Asiatic lion you pretty much have seen a Barbary lion, only difference is the Asiatic lion of Palestine lived in a hotter climate than the Barbary lion, who dwelt in a cold climate, and the Barbary weighed OVER 475 more often than a Asiatic lion
