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.

this is a video from the Kristiansand animal park where I work. 
This is the first time there was born lions in the park and actuall the first time ever in Norway, we introdused the first and smallest male Aragon to the cubs first, and the lionesses Kila and Sera did really protect the cubs as real lion mothers does, incredible.

I'd think that videos like these would be better suited for the captive gallery thread already going. Do you have anything in text for this thread?

He was weighed at 850 pounds at the age of 12.

@Kingtheropod can confirm it via the email from the park manager.

Jaipur is the largest captive cat ever measured, correct?
Outside of Ligers of course.

Jaipur is one of the heaviest captive tigers ever recorded, but not the longest nor the tallest.

Jaipur is slightly heavier than Baikal because he is fatter, but in the body dimension wise, Baikal holds an edge in every department.

LA Zoo Notes:

-Got to see Lion pair, Sumatran Tiger and Snow leopard (all sleeping) 
-Jaguar wasn't in its enclosure
-One horned rhino
-Asian Elephant
-Hippo
-Harpy Eagle
-Chimps and lots of different monkeys
-Lots of snakes (green mamba and gaboon Viper are my favorites)
-Black Bear (sleeping)
Not a bad price but still sad to see these animals locked in small enclosures, they need to invest money into the place. They also openly breed the animals to continue the trend of captive animals, all n all, its not bad.

Here are some videos from the images at Shizzy wild cat rescue.
Check out the size of these Tigers and Lions.
Massive!

They found these two Tigers literally wondering the side of the Road in Carolina. How unbelievable is that?

Must watch this Guy!!!! Gigantic Tiger
https://www.facebook.com/ShizzysWildCatR...=1&theater

Big Boy and still agile as can be
https://www.facebook.com/ShizzysWildCatR...=1&theater

Now compare these guys to Shere Khan From Noahs Ark
https://www.facebook.com/ShizzysWildCatR...=1&theater

Shere Khan is quoted as being a small tiger though

Roman, beautiful male lion

Heres a video of him feeding a couple of tigers and a lion

Big Tigress

I must say, these are some of the best looking captive cats I have seen. They are massive, healthy and in shape, at least as in shape as I have seen in captive cats.

Its all in russian but they are some big cats, I think they are amurs as well.
Lions always seem to grow much longer fur in the colder habitats, same as tigers.
Interesting to see

 

 



Here is a video of the Tigress' with the lion from these images (I believe)

Either way, these are big girls
