Meaning the weight is likely estimated.

we don't know and even if there were no scales on the capture site, they brought him back to the park center (chitengo camp) where I imagine they have all the necessary tools

They show the release, so it’s most likely not the case.

again we don't know and then if it needed video or photo proof for each wild lion or tiger weight then 90% of the weights on this website are estimates, because for most of the weights there are only paper documents and words and which in addition most of them are from the last century

It's case by case. The same thing happened with Caesar. Everyone claimed he was weighed because Rueben said so but during the capture there was no weighing equipment on site. We finally reached out to them and they said he was never weighed since they had no equipment on hand. 
It's very rare to have video of the entire capture, so it's only natural to have questions when no weighing is shown. Especially when someone uses nice round numbers with no details and shuts comments off.

unlike Caesar, it's not just anyone who claims 250 kg, here it's the gorongosa national park

No, its Paola Bouley. A “national park” doesn’t speak.

in this case the word of paola bouley is the word of gorongosa national park. she is responsible for lion study and conservation in this park

And she just confirmed it was an estimate.
Conversation is still ongoing, I’m trying to see if she has any actual weights measured. I’ll advise
