About #104:

The lion "Cheongi" was 5 years old and weighed 110 kilos.
The tigress "Hobi" was 6 years old and weighed 90 kilos.

Perhaps being captive they were still subadult, but I don't think so and  in wild they would be in their best period of vigour, power. So yes, I repeat they might be underfed, both could easily weigh 40 kilos more (without being 220 kilos monsters as you told).

You cannot compare captive to wild, Wild cats have the best genetics possible and are forced to grow fast or die while captive cats have no need to live by the law of survival of the fittest. Even in the wild you have adult lions and Tigers who have been under 90kg and under 160kg respectively and they were prime aged.
Also, they're both still around 2 years away from their primes in the wild. Reply
