RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 07-04-2016
Probably the biggest felid I have ever seen (I dont know his weight)

Here's a picture I took of him!

Welcome back, Pantherinae! How have you been doing?
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Pantherinae - 07-07-2016
Thanks Polar, I have been doing great! Been struggling to post here my computer would not be able to write a post/reply, but now it's fixed and I will post as frequently as possible from now on. :-)
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 07-10-2016
Amur, 4yo (born 9th July 2012). Average size, I estimate him to be around 210 kg. BTW I took these photos 3 days ago...
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 07-10-2016
Barbary, 6,5 yo. This lion is huge, I estimate him to be of similar size as the tiger. By observing these two, I could clearly see the typical difference between tiger and lion - tiger is longer with more muscular legs, while lion has more robust body and bigger head. Tiger moves are elegant (cat like), while lion moves rather like a bear
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 07-10-2016
Male and female. Fascinating combination of strenght (I think they are more muscular than leopards) and agility.
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 07-10-2016
Another barbary. Brother of the lion above. Different zoo (1 month old photos).
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Polar - 07-10-2016
Actually, for post #227, a bear (even a big one) can be just as elegant and sneaky as a big cat half its size.
The thing is, lions usually move more suddenly like dogs in rapid bursts, while tigers move more smoothly like bears or smaller wild felids.
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 07-10-2016
11yo, he was 220 kg at the age of 7...this animal is pure muscle

OK, I just wanted to say that their moves are somwhat clumsy in comparison with other felids...mayby it would be more accurate to say that lion moves like some huge dog.

Young kruger. BTW there are tigers in the next enclosure, but they get along very well
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 07-11-2016

RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 07-11-2016
