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.

Recently the Black Dam male lion was collared by Timbavati and was said to be the heaviest they weighed in history. So i researched a bit and got contact with the ecologist of Timbavati (Almero Bosch) who collared the BDM lion and years ago the 283 kg lion ximpoko and 250 kg lion Mabande.

I asked him about the size of that lion and if they weighed him! Sadly they didnt weigh him but look what he said and that is enough!

So just imagine. That lion was even bigger than the giant Ximpoko who was 280 kg and the root circumference tells enough! That lion is definetely in the 300 kg range but not with a empty belly. But i think this lion was als heavy as kocks 272 kg empty stomach lion if not even heavier!

Here the pictures of this Giant:

And some might be interested about his body thickness. Well... let me compare him to one of the most robust lions i have seen. Here a gigantic ngorongoro crater male.. look at his body thickness, arms and shoulders.
