One more thing about that posting of @Megalodon.

Quote:

"There's no way that lion was "very young" according to you're translation. It couldn't be because the lion had a fully-developed mane. I'd say it was probably around 5 years old."

When starting to use words like "no way". Or "fact". Then check the facts, before writing or just state, that your opinion is, that probably older. Do not write "no way" when you are just speculating.

Here is interview of Edgar Zapashny from October 8th 2015 where he has lion David with him and it is 3 months old there. So born in early July 2015 (no exact date, so could be late June or late July too). Name is mentioned on video 0:40-0:42 and 1:38 so, that even if not speaking Russian language, easy to understand. And it is mentioned in article.

That fight was mentioned July 22nd 2018 first time (based on what I found). When taking in account, that David was mentioned to be young or very young in every possible article I have seen in English or in Russian, logical conclusion is, that same lion. And so David was, when this fight occurred 3 years old, maybe a few days younger, but probably a few d a y s  older.

Your estimation @Megalodon was then 2 years wrong and considering how young this lion was, you were almost doubling it´s age in your estimation. So if you still one day post here and write something in a way, that you want to deny some information or state something as a fact, be sure, that you can back it up and show sources. Too much vague statements and misinformation stated as facts this far. If you want to continue same way, go to some other place, where people don´t care about facts and/or source criticism.

Here is article and video about young David the lion.

Quote: 
"People's Artist of Russia Edgard Zapashny demonstrates his young pupil - three-month-old David - and talks with representatives of which sex is easier for him to work with. A fragment of the program "Alone with everyone."

And reason to post this isn´t to start debate about it, that how prepared lion was to this fight. It was already obviously big and capable. No-one asks in the wild too if ready or not, fight or flee (if possible) is the name of the game there too. I posted this only to show a bit more, why I suspended @Megalodon again. 

Disagreements etc. are ok, but not stating opinions like facts all the time even after clear warnings.
