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.

Except for the stomach can only hold so much, and they can only eat so much, or they become obese. So, find their verified weights and body measurements, post them here, and then lets take a look.
You would also be saying that all other lions are not well fed?

 

I would think that longer periods of prey scarcity would have some type of an adverse effect on conditioning. Doesn't it make sense that a cat that eats its fill every 3 days MIGHT be in better condition (weigh more, but not to the level of obesity) than one that eats its fill every 7 days?
