Zoos, Circuses, Safaris: A Gallery of Captivity

[Pckts]

Said she hasn't been weighed "in a long time" and that's just an estimate. I have just recently seen a 470lb tiger with in 5 feet, she isn't near that size. 500 lb male cat is massive, 500lb female is unheard of outside of a few claims. Just going through all the captive weights I was able to find on lions and tigers, you're able to see just how rare it is for even a male to reach that weight.
Also note that the keeper never said anything about her weight and said the lioness with her before was larger. Which would mean that the lioness prior was 600lbs?

Edit: just noticed your links...
Those are estimates or overexagerations.
One "500 lb lioness" is only 2.5 years of age, another is a newspaper article or circus clipping?
The claim of that lioness at 600lbs is absurd, no offense intended towards you. It's like some of the "850 lb tiger claims" posted here from "caretakers. " Reply
