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.

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?
 

 


I believe prey density is a major factor in any predatory species attaining their maximum size, period. Lets just say
animals who eat less, will not be larger, agreed?
