Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

The average of 187 and 179 kgs sounds more accurate. The 155 average is a bit dubious as it likely includes young lions. A difference
in regards to the other studies, don't you agree? Most sources place the average around 180+ kg's. A 25 kg difference is sizable when
comparing different studies of the same animal. That would change the estimated average for craters and bring it closer to the 210 +
kg average the peer reviewed "educated estimate" Waveriders referred to.  Im using the info loosely provided here in this very thread
to back my opinion. The numbers reflect accurately with the "generally accepted" average of 180+kgs for Serengeti lions, and Packers
own claim of 10-20% > difference for the crater lion. Whether its fact, that's yet be determined.
