RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-24-2017
3mo, 3 boys. Their father Igor was born in 2010 and he was weighted recently - something over 240 kg. I saw him 2 years ago (unfortunately not now) and he was 220 kg then. He is very tall and long but he was also very lean...when I saw him I thought that he certainly has the potential to be over 250 kg without being obese
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-24-2017
My photo of Igor taken in 2015. His body is almost nothing.
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-24-2017
Krugers, 4.5 yo. Male is robust, but of average height and lenght. Id estimate him to be around 170 - 180 kg.

Id say that lions (captive) are more interactive than tigers. Tigers just dont care about people
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-24-2017
the lioness looks quite big at the photo but in fact she is rather small...my estimate is around 110 - 120 kg
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-24-2017
ZOO Schonbrunn, Vienna, Austria. I forgot what is the subspecie of this lion, but I think its asiatic. Huge, I estimate him to be 180+ kg.
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-24-2017
This lioness looked huge. Id say good 150 kg. ZOO Schonbrunn again

Amur male Igor, 7yo, 240+ kg weighted. Not my photo

Barbary. This male has been killed by his lioness

From this angle, he looks somewhat emaciated, making that 240+ kg claim seem a bit dubious.
Just my humble opinion

As I said before, he is very lean, but also very tall and long. This article is from 2015 (he was 5yo then). https://www.tyden.cz/rubriky/relax/zvirata/zoo-hodonin-hlasi-na-svet-prisla-vzacna-tygri-dvojcata_347903.html "Igor vazi asi 220 kilogramu" means "Igor weighs around 220 kilograms". I saw him in 2015 and I would say that 220 kg was very reliable number.
Ad I would say that tiger who is 220 kg at the age of 5 could be easily 240 kg at the age of 7.
BTW if Igor was as robust as this 220 kg (weighted) male, he would be certainly over 250 kg.

I dont know the exact age of this male, but I think he was 7+ yo
RE: Zoos, Circuses, Safaris... A Gallery of Captivity - Amnon242 - 09-24-2017
this lioness killed her male
