This is Aslan, I worked in this park with this lion. He’s very big 255 kg’s 
Here is a photo I took of him a couple of years ago.

So it was Aslan who jumped on that video? That jump wasn´t the thing which I found surprising, but how he didn´t let go and was hanging there like that :) Even though it is very clear, that they have strong jaws, that was impressive. They should measure biting forces in situations like that, results might be surprising too...

Yes it is very impressive, usually it was his smaller brother who jumped, but it was always especially impressive when this guy jumped, to see it with your own eyes is spectacular. The whole tower you stand in when you do the presantation shakes when he hits the bait. Reply
