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 is incorrect. Nowell & Jackson (1996) quotes the document of Smuts from 1976, when only 14 males were captured. However, latter Smuts and his team published a new document in 1980 with a sample of 41 adult males and a higher average weight. Check this out:

Nowell & Jackson (1996) made many mistakes in the size issue, not only with lions, so I will not take them too seriously in the future.

By the way, the record length of 333 cm for lions is incorrect too, I have the original source of those lengths and resulted that those lions were taken from skin length pegged out, not between pegs. I will put the data here.

Greetings to all.
