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.

So can we please get a chart which points differently at lions from each different populations In East Africa?
Yes, the figure of 174 kg for males is for the entire area. I can make an especific average for each country, but take in count that there are no weights from the Ngorongoro crater itself.
There is the popular idea that the lions from Ngorongoro are among the largest, and while the chest measurements match those of the biggest South African lions, they probably weight about the same.
