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.

Oh I thought you said she looked small, no she's not 160 kg lioness for sure, but what I ment is that even on average lionesses it's rare that male Lions will appare so much bigger, and very few lions will look bigger on his lionesses than this preticular male.
He's a big male, definitely. But I was just commenting on that image where he looks to be taller than the hood of the jeep and way longer than the jeep is wide. Its just deceiving after seeing so many lions close to jeeps now I know what to expect when using them to scale.
In regards to females, its to hit or miss. Like I said about Jai and the video of the female, she is said to be a good sized female, jai made her look like a cub. But if she is a good sized female that would mean she is probably 130-160kg which would mean Jai is only 100kg more than her at most, and looking at it, there is no way you would think he is any thing less than double her size.
I think like males, females run a wide range of weights and measurements, its just to hard to look at a male next to a female and say he or she is especially large or small. I mean none of us would have ever thought that Choti Tara was 85kg than imagine if we see a large tiger like Jais size next to her, we would say hes the most massive tiger to ever walk the earth and praise him like some sort of tiger god. Its just so hard to tell as you are aware.
