Today I have found the digital version of the book "Animal Facts and Feats" of 1982-third and last edition. In this new version there are new data and some old one was discarded. However, the point here is that AT LAST, there is a published picture of the record heavy lion of 313 kg, supposedly the heaviest male lion ever, hunted in the wild, the male that was "weighed several times before been accepted" and bla bla bla.... Well, check the picture:

What do you think of this 690 lb "giant"???
Hello Guate

I am in agreement with you. There is no way that lion in the picture is 313 kg! As a matter of fact, I'm doubting that it even weighs 200 kg. That lion in the picture looks like a normal 180 kg lion to me. Maybe that's why they weighed it several times because they really couldn't believe it, and I don't blame them because I don't either.LOL

The record breaking tiger of 389 kg is without question clearly bigger then that lion in that picture (313 kg) by a significant amount...



Same can be said for Jim Corbett's tiger (Perhaps 317 kg) much bigger! Does anyone really believe that lion is as big or bigger then this guy...
