Captive Lion and Tiger weights

[Pckts]

All from @Amnon242 

Zoo says that this tiger is 3yo (2years, 9 months)...in february 2016. His weight is 250 kg. I have seen him and I think that 250 kg is reliable.

3yo, 250 kg male once again.

Male amur, 4yo, 220 kg (weighted). Again, not typical tiger...really lean. But very tall and long. I saw him in a playfull "fight" with a tigress and I was amazed by his incredibly agile and elegant moves (despite his impressive size).

7yo, 220 kg. Pure muscle, very agile and elegant in his moves (despite his impressive size). Agressive. 3years ago, he attacked the breeder and escaped to the visitors area of the zoo.

Sometimes you have to be carefull when breeders tell you what are the weights of their animals. This amur male (around 14yo, I think) is from private zoo. The owner told me that he was 340 kg (weighted), when he came to the zoo. I told him that it could be 240, but he insisted that it was 340 kg... :-) But what I saw was typical example of standard amur tiger, that means 200-220 kg. Definitely impressive animal...maybe he could be 240 kg in his prime...maybe...

He has about 5 tigers and 7 lions (or so)...their cages are next to each other and there is quite a lot of interaction between them. In the past some of his tigers shared same enclosure with lions...He told me that according to his experience tigers dont have problems with lions that much. Male tigers are agressive towards other male tigers and male lions are agressive tiowards other male lions.

Zoo Budapest again. Amur male. Old. Tall. Id say one of those who are tall and long, but also lean. Again...in his prime, he was probably over 200 kg...quite easily...Id say...

Same amur as above. Called Mauglis.

This amur was 196 kg when weighted...I dont know what was his age at the time of weighing, but he was certainly less than 7 years. At this photo he looks quite robust, but when I saw him he seemed like lean animal to me. In next cage there was different male amur, 17yo...and this one was much...much bigger. I dont know his weight but he must have been over 250 kg.

Zoo Prague. Asiatic lion Jamwan (4yo), malayan tigers Johann and Kavi. Im not sure about the age of tigers, but I think that Johann is 4-5yo and Kavi 10-11yo. I dont know the weight of Jamwan, but his predecessor, asiatic lion Paris was 178 kg (weighted when 6-8yo) and Paris was definitely bigger...in fact Paris was one of the most impressive lions I have ever seen. My estimate of Jamwan is 160kg. The tigers can be 140-150 kg...Johann is robust, while Kavi is lean and elegant (btw tiger #381 is Kavi...and not amur tiger Mauglis). Jamwan has more robust body, tigers have more muscular legs and they are longer (especially Kavi...in fact Johann is as long as Jamwan...my estimate).

Jamwan

They are bigger lions than Jamwan, but Jamwan is by no means small. He is still impressive animal. I have seen bigger lions, but also smaller. BTW Jamwan is 100% asiatic lion from Gudjarat. His predecessor Paris was not pure asiatic...

This male is really very impressive animal. Pure muscle. Obviously bigger than fully grown african lion in next cage. The tiger is 220 kg (or 500 lbs)

Im 187 cm tall and the tiger is standing on somewhat lower ground...This tiger was weighted 220 kg in his prime. Now he is around 11 yo, I think...
