From where? How old photo? Source?
RE: Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos - Lycaon - 02-26-2019
Sorry I forgot to include the source .
It says from 1895

I'd seen a similar photo somewhere before. That's why i asked.
Please find more on their lion in this photo, of you can. Didn't know lions were still left in Babylon by 1890s.
This may be a photo of one of Middle-East's last lions!
Rare 150-year-old hand-coloured slides thought to be the earliest pictures of animals at London Zoo were auctioned last year. Taken in 1871 was this image of a "Babylonian lion";
*This image is copyright of its original author
It said: This Babylonian lion was one of the star attractions at the zoo, and is seen here inside a cage at the zoo. London Zoo only opened in April 1828, and by 1870 there were already dozens of animals on display...
This could be big news friend!

He's got one impressive head of hair
RE: Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos - Lycaon - 02-26-2019
@Rishi
I couldn't find any additional information on that Babylonian lion.
RE: Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos - Lycaon - 02-26-2019
While trying to find more info I did however find this great photo of a gir lion.

I think that is would be more useful if published this here instead of with captive animals because it helps gives us an idea to how large wild Asiatic lions can get. This is my personal data, in collaboration with European zoos. I thank all of those involved. I am also in contact with Indian researchers.
*This image is copyright of its original author
The weights obtained from European zoos of male Asiatic lions range between 150-190 kg with an average of 176 kg (n = 8). This includes two estimates: without estimates male Asiatic lions weigh between 164-190 kg with a mean weigh of 179 kg (n = 6). Female Asiatic Lions weigh between 122-146 kg with a mean weight of 133 kg (n =7). This includes two estimated weights. Using only verified measurements the average weight is 132 kg (n = 5). This is an incomplete report and research is ongoing. Those from Europe appear to be somewhat larger than zoo specimens from India which weigh between 160-170 kg.
Male Asiatic lions from European zoos are only slightly smaller than their African cousins and comparable to East African Lions. Female Asiatic lions are approximately the same size specimens from Africa. The data suggests that there maybe a lower degree of sexual dimorphism in Asiatic lions than in African lions. This could be the result of inbreeding and lower levels of testosterone in Asiatic lions, but this is conjecture and research is ongoing. This is a very early report and the final report will be comprehensive.

@andeancat What so you do exactly? You should really fool out your Bio more..
These are amazing!

@Rishi
I am a health science researcher with an emphasis on human health. Undergrad was in biological sciences. I am in the process of filling in the gaps in the scientific records of Asiatic and West African lions. I have most of Johnsingh, Chellam and
Jhala publications, but this is several hundred pages of data, and I have not found the time to look over all of it. I also suspect that they don't often publish weights from the field. There is a commonly held belief that P. l. leo is inferior in size to P. l. melanochaita, but I don't think the data supports this. Now that P. l. leo has been largely eliminated, except for isolated pockets this is probably true, but evaluating historic skull measurements the two subspecies were probably of similar size. Asiatic lions are probably similar size to the lions found in the Serengeti and the largest living lions are found Southern Africa (even though some East African lions maybe bulkier and surpass them in weight). It should be noted that the primary prey of Asiatic lions is the chital deer which are smaller than the prey is most of Africa. If the Asiatic lion has more access to large game they would likely be larger and heavier.

While Visiting Australia, Surprisingly found Sculpture Taxidermy (a Real dummy of an Asiatic lion) which is exactly 100 years old. It was brought in 1909 in Sydney.
*This image is copyright of its original author
The dummy still after 100 years stood in excellent condition. I tried to find out from where and how they got this taxidermy but they were not sure exactly how they got it. However, it feels amazed to observe our pride that is 100 years old is standing in Australia in such a realistic condition. Belly fold is not there due to chemical application and stuffing to preserve.

SEA LION (non pinniped)
A lion entered the residential area of Gujarat which excited people all around. People flocked to see the lion, scared by which the lion jumped into the sea.
