This is a video of a 250 kg lion, not obese. You've accepted tiger weights that zookeepers have said on videos before, lion of 600 pounds or more in captivity is not unheard of.

 

Thats Aslan and he is weighed on camera. The tiger who is weighed on the same video is 206kg and looks much skinnier, I accept weights when confirmed like aslan since its confirmed. I don't except random weights from articles about dentistry when the animal is not weighed. Even still, Aslan looks much larger than either lions shown and he is 250kg. 300kg lion would look like a freak of nature just like a 350kg tiger, unless of course they are a bit obese. These lions would be another 110lbs heavier than Aslan while being skinny and not any larger framed, if anything they are smaller in the frame than aslan. Imagine what a real 300kg lion who wasn't obese would look like. You are talking about the largest Lion any of us would ever see, wild or captive. Outside of some pretty skeptical claims.

 
That lion above while being tall is certainly not very long or thick. Since lions and tigers get their extreme weight from body length and robustness, shoulder height doesn't necessarily mean a heavy cat. He is a large cat, no doubt about it, but not a chance that cat is 300kg imo. Reply
