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 asked for some weight and body dimension measurement and I got the following figures for the notches
Quote:They are quite large males ,you are looking at around 230kg - 255kg when they have eaten.
Around 9ft long and 4.5 tall.
230 kg without a meal.
Around 240 in migration period due to lots of food, then 260 after eating
I have also asked for the source of this information and waiting for the answer. The page owner of the Notch the Lion-King of the Mara and His Five Sons, Is very mature and seems to be very knowledgeable person.
But this is just estimates, obviously the weight and shoulder height are a bit exaggerated I think. None of the Cats have been weighed or measured, to my knowledge at least.
My suggestion is to speak with the actual photographers who take the pictures, their names should be attached to the images. Like the Kahna Tigers FB page, most of the time these are admin by people like you and me who generally don't have first hand experience with these cats and who are fans. I like to ask how they compare via eye to eye comparisons since weight is so subjective from person to person.
