There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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.

How many (& which) zoos have you visited in total?.. Recently?
Also will you be able to find any weight/size data of the Prague zoo's lions, both Asiatic & Barbary they got from Morocco?
This year none, last year 2, in life I dont know...30? I dont visit zoos as much as I did in the past...
I doubt that its possible to find any data on the internet on those lions. I could ask the zoo but all zoos are closed now and the staff has to care about different things. There are just asiatic lions in Prague. That e-mail above shows that asiatic Parys was 160 - 170 kg (but once he was 178 kg). Today they have Jamwan and he is smaller than Parys. I have seen quite a lot asiatic lions from various zoos and all of them are simillar to Parys - in size and in appearance.
When it comes to barbary lions they are in another zoos and I dont know any exact weights. Simon is huge and his sons as well. But another one was average (my estimate 180 kg) and yet another male was small. Lionesses are of average size, if not smaller.
