Hello guys, in fact, the weight of 260 kg (gorged) is reliable and real.

Here is the email from the late Dr Hu Berry and some fragments of the document where this weight was published:

As we can see, this lion was actually weighed and marked the 260 kg. However, he included an estimated stomach content of at least 20 kg, which means a net weight of 240 kg.

It seems that body size is not directly related with body weight in lions or tigers. Very large males have been hunted that are larger than the Etosha male, but weighed much less. The same happen with tigers. The simple explanation is that, like humans, there are long but light specimens, and short but heavy specimens.
