About #556: 255 kg ? This lion must be really big-sized, because it doesn't seem to be  fat at all.

He was big yes, somebody had a video of him being weighed on youtube. The animal park had a TV show in Norway, and had we had a competition between him and the tiger, to see who was heavier. And it was filmed. 
But he was weighed many times as part of training and to check opon his and the other lions, cheetahs and tigers condition

What tiger it was and how were those weights?

The tiger was a siberian tiger called Ulysses. 
I don’t remember the weight in the video, but he was between 200-112 kg.

Was Ulysses younger then?

No he was arround +/- 10 years old, in the time I worked there.

Ok, then he was just smaller individual.

He was average, I have seen bigger and smaller tigers. The male siberian tiger is Borås zoo in Sweeden weighed only 150 kg. That’s extreamly small for a siberian tiger, he looked like a female. And the one in Odense Zoo in Denmark is a monster!

Yes, I meant only that in that one comparison Ulysses was then smaller one. There is a video in freak specimens thread from grizzlyclaws about one huge siberian tiger. It was in every way bigger than the tiger it faced, but also looked already somewhat fat too. No idea about weight, but probably 300+ kg.

Not for nothing, but why is this  discussion currently about  tiger size in a lion predation thread? Reply
