BODY SIZE AND MASS OF NGORONGORO CRATER LIONS

Here is a little information about Tony Sanchez-Arino:

"The other night I had the pleasure of listening to a talk by Tony Sanchez-Arino who, at age 82, is about to begin his 60th season as an African professional hunter. In addition to countless safaris, he was also an ivory hunter and, I would guess, a game-control shooter. His numbers of animals taken are staggering: just under 1,300 elephant, 2,044 Cape buffalo, and 322 lion. His talk dealt with the three questions he is most often asked. "

As we can see he is an expert on wild animals and a professional hunter with many experience. I don't think that he included young animals in his descriptions, specially if we still use the old cliche that hunters always want the bigger figures.
