Good question Pckts, and is fair to ask it.

I tried to show the weights "empty belly", so the weight of 259 kg from Hewett and the Sauraha male of 260 kg are the heaviest ones from first hand sources that not includes stomach content. I have been thinking in changing the record of 1870 - 1960 for the male of 267.6 (590 lb) tiger hunted by Colonel Kesri Singh, because this record is also from first hand and is not too away from the figures recorded by scientists (Singh, 1959). That tiger measured 349 cm "over curves", which is equivalent to c.324 - 329 cm "between pegs", however I will not include this figure, just the weight.

I did not use the figure of 272 kg in order to avoid unnecessary criticism, just like I will not use the figure of 260 kg for the Etosha lion, instead I will put the figure of 240 kg, which is the empty one.

By the way, and this is for all the posters too, do you think that I should made a comparative image of ALL the Southern African lion population, or just the specific populations: Ethosa, Namibia, Zimbabwe and South Africa??? I ask this because these are the areas where I have data, from the other ones, sadly, I don't have any measurements and just a few weights.

Tell me what do you think, before to make my next image. [img]images/smilies/smile.gif[/img]
