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.

Great thred Sanjay! The lion I posten early'er who was estimated at 240 kg by The wild life vet, was also from Okavango and did not look like The biggest lion I have seen from okavango! But that's just speculation I'm sure in weight these and Kaziranga tigers are The biggest of their spicies! Would love to have The weights from duba! Remember duba has just been separated from The mainland for 10 years or so. Ad The male Lions just seems to Get bigger and bigger as cubs grow very fast and The females Looks like tanks! And The male Lions are very big. I know it's not right to compare a captive animal ti a wild animal. But I'm quite sure The lionesses at duba is bigger than The lionesses in The animal park I work and. And The male at duba is much bigger compared to The females than aslan is to The lionesses at kr.sand animal park. So The weight is very fun to speculate how big they can be..
Who knows for sure, at least some Assam tiger weights have been taken and they seem large, they actually had the largest skull size of any of the others I compared to them though. So it helps a little when comparing them to others from different areas. But the info was minimal to say the least.
Have their been any weights taken of any lions from Okavongo? Just something to compare at least. Could shed a little light.
