You are close, but since this video isn´t first time here, a small correction. That jumping lion is Aslan, in that video is said (zookeeper who is talking on background), that he is 250 kg. @Pantherinae who has worked in that zoo and knows this particular lion has told, that it has been 255 kg at one point.

I guess, that you made an estimation, when you said 260 kg or do you have some source telling that? You posted earlier some videos about lions and tigers and there you gave estimations, that´s ok when saying it. But if you give exact numbers without telling that it is an estimation, then please put also information, how do you know?
Hi @Shadow,sorry for the late reply, I know Aslan was weighted 252 kg not 255 kg but 90% of time,he weighed 255 kg.260 kg was Aslan's peak weight which was said by @Pantherinae. See post #250 ,you are right about 250 kg which was said in the video.He has passed his prime in the video.He may have lost 5 kilos from 255.Lions and tigers lose their condition after 7-8 .These videos were published on 2015. He may be 8-9 old in those videos considering he was weighed on scales at age 7 back on 2013.Other videos about weights were estimated by me.If there are any confirmed weights,I will post the links.

That was odd, because later @Pantherinae has said exact number and that was 255 kg. Small difference of course but that he have said a few times. But if that was estimation 250-260 kg, then we have in this video said by zookeeper 250 kg. But hopefully @Pantherinae can clarify what is biggest weighed weight of Aslan that he knows. It really is always good to know what is estimation and what is known from weighing.

He was weighed at 260 kg yes, even his poster/fact sheet in the Zoo says 260 kg. 255 was the most common weight though. So I guess that would be the most accurate weight. I'll go to the zoo in the next month or so. If I see some of the people I know from when I was there, I'll ask if I can take a behind the scenes tour and get some more info about the weights in their prime. Several of the lionesses there weighed 180 kg, and most aren't fat either just good genes I guess.

Ok, that clears then situation. There was no information about other measurements, shoulder height and body length or maybe I have missed those? He is just in that way impressive, that he really does look like fit lion. Many lions around 200 kg look like same if in photo when thinking about overall appearance (slim, fit, obese).

When talking about these captive lions and tigers what amazes me in Aslan is, that I asked from Odense zoo about their famous tiger Igor, which looks very big in many photos and videos. And they said, that he was 250 kg, maybe a bit more at some point. So Aslan actually is equal what comes to weight. That was very interesting thing to learn, when looking for information.

Hi @Pantherinae , have you ever tried to measure Aslan and Aragon at the shoulders?, How was your experience with lions in Kruger and East Africa?Which was larger?
