I moved that posting to this same thread, where are other postings of this Zamba, some sources claim it to have been 650, some 700 and then for instance zoo director said 750 lbs. It´s still unclear what can be confirmed and what statements are more or less vague. It´s a big lion, but question remains, that how big in reality. But to keep things clear, when you post multiple postings about same individual, it would be better to keep those in one thread, not spread all over to different threads.
What is interesting on this video is reaction of the woman on background at around 2:02 and how she is amazed by the size of the feet of Zamba. After all Zamba wasn´t the first big cat they saw there if that video is in chronological order as can be assumed.

Is Zamba a real Barbary lion? She said he is a Barbary lion but I'm not sure.

Kevin Richardson " I said, “Icarus, give me your mean look.” The first picture is what I got! I started laughing uncontrollably. ??. Then came the look in the second picture. I immediately stopped laughing. ??. I always find it so incredibly amazing as to how many different faces a lion can pull. I took a sequence of pictures within the space of a minute that make him look thoughtful, contemplative, dopey, happy, sad, etc, etc, etc. We need to be careful how we interpret pictures of animals with expressive faces. They need to be assessed in context of the situation. ".

@Lycaon :
About #1649: I have never seen a so maned lion... From what is it the product ? Any hair lotion inside its meals ?

@Spalea
I belive this lion could have some barbary/asiatic ancestry . Other than that I couldn't find any additional info on this lion.

I joked when I spoke about hair lotion but I haven't clearly never seen a lion like this one. The mane is so opulent that it hides the whole belly. Perhaps a luxuriant-maned Barbary lion could be almost like that with the "help" of the local climate. In which zoo or country does this lion live ?
This lion should be recorded in the Guiness book for the title "The absolute most opulent mane".
