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.

At time it was also in Guinness Book of Records as the largest lion in the world, shoulder height was 111 cm. So it is assumed, that maybe it has been weighed also by people of Guinness, but that is just assumption. I was told, that history of Simba is actually very sketchy.

Staff from zoo of Colchester, where Simba and Nyoka visited 1970 said, that Simba was clearly obese. I got also a link to rare, but quite good quality video footage, where it can be clearly seen. That belly swinging there sideways looks like to have some fat inside. Simba can be seen from 2:18 forward.

Maybe you don't agree with me.I have respect.But my links aren't end.This record(s) are unconfirmed

900 pound lion Lord Ivory

You are right, I don´t take seriously any claims about healthy and fit lions weighing 800-1000 pounds, those are all utter nonsense. If you want to show fat and unhealthy lions, which are grossly overfed, that is another thing. 

My advice is, that consider carefully what you post here, because if you focus to nonsense, then moderation will happen. Idea here is to be able to discuss freely, disagreements are ok when both sides are able to give good arguments and act civilized. But if someone starts to post well-known nonsense, then situation is different.

I don´t know you too well, but sometimes you walk on quite thin ice, imo. So please look at things and try to give good reasoning if you post something, which can be considered extraordinary. A fit lion weighing 270 kg can be considered already exceptional, 300 kg would be world record lion in wildlife, so far heaviest commonly accepted weight has been 272 kg.

So if you post something, it is good to remember that. I don´t start now any debate, if you post too much old well known and unconfirmed or fake cases, it will be stopped at some point. Idea here is to find and share good information, not circle around nonsense again and again and again in neverending cycles.
