Largest Living wild lions ?

[GuateGojira]

Guys, this is already annoying. Are we going to return to discuss the same thing? [img]images/smilies/dodgy.gif[/img]

That poor lion is already dead and the guys in Timbavati already accept the figure. So, if this weight was real or not, is now unknown, as the guys in the area now will simply use the figure as a "flag". So, I don't see any point in continuing discussing this anymore.

Returning to the topic:
I have noted that lions in dryer areas seems to be heavier than those in more wooden places. For example, the lions in the dry Etosha are much larger than those from Serengeti, despite the fact that the prey density in these areas are very very very different.

What do you think about this? If this is the case, prey density is not "so" related with lion size, I think. Are this just exceptional cases, or the simple rule?
