He was sighted in the Tanzania NP. So he is a wild lion.

Sorry but this lion is not wild, it comes from a zoo that is not even in Africa.
Here are more videos of the same lion

Two easy Identification markers are his color and overweight appearance. You will not see wild Lions that look like that.

Who is the biggest Lion of Masai Mara?
Caesar... the son of notch.(weighed 284 kg according to a reliable person but we need more infos... but that weight is not out of question)

Or is the lion EARLESS larger? So its very hard for me. One image where Earless had the same body position...

*This image is copyright of its original author

I made a accurate comaprison between both. I made the skull equally large and I looked at the proportions. Hindlegs and forelegs have the same height. I made it perfect.

*This image is copyright of its original author

It seems that caesar is bigger than Earless. But Earless look better and has the better arms. Hindlegs... I think Caesar has the upper hand.
@Phanterinae I can "confirm" the chat between you and Reuben Matthew's. He wrote me exactly the same.

Caesar hasn't been weighed, or at least verified by anyone with real first hand knowledge. As you can see, Rueban is a photographer, hence why he's asking you to come on safari. We have Caesars capture already documented with no actual scale on site, so he'd have to have been weighed on another capture and as of yet, no body has been able to get verification or proof of that claim. 

In regards to who's larger between Earless and Caesar, I've seen numerous people say Caesar was the larger Lion.

I asked the uploader now... it seems he is the owner of that video. So I will wait... and if this lion is captive... then I will delete my post.

Honestly I was also impressed by his size. Though... only few lion can reach such bodies.

They're just a random uploader, you can see it with the Tiger video the posted where the geo-tagged it from the Sunderbans which ofcouse, it wasn't.
He's a captive cat, you can see him in his enclosure from the videos @Mwarcaar posted.

RE: Lions of Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro and others) - LandSeaLion - 04-30-2021

Has anyone here ever seen a documentary called “Lions: Pride in Peril”? I remember watching it in 1996. It was narrated by David Attenborough, and followed the lives of a pride of lions (the Tokitoks) struggling to survive in the Ngorongoro Crater. It was a marvellous documentary, but unfortunately never made it to DVD. Sometimes I recognise footage from it cropping up in other documentaries, spliced into the narrative (particularly a short scene of two male lions, Hook and Ahab, fighting each other).

Your image proves nothing, with no accounting for the distance from the lion to the camera, type of lense used, resolution the original image was captured at, the resolution at the time the image was posted, there is nothing in either image to provide true scale. In other words neither the original image, or the cut and paste you created are remotely "accurate". Please, stop posting such inaccurate nonsense.

Breathtaking shots of members of the huge beasts of the Lake Quintet male coalition, masters and lords of the Ngorongoro crater.
