Very interesting read in terms of the limb bone length and overall forelimb length.

Quote from the book regarding reliable measurements and weights:,, It may be safe to suggest, that on average, the lion can be said to be the biggest living cat, and taking into account the extinct massive American Lion, the lion may even be the biggest felid ever known."

It seems, that older weights, especially from hunters, are being critically looked at in this book.
