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.

I was looking for the thread on here on captive weights, I couldn't find it, do you guys have a link for it.  Are you guys saying that captive lion or tigers can't exceed 570, I guess that's my question.  I suppose if their neutered that changes things, but I  guess you couldn't count that.



So perhaps then this tiger Jaipur doesn't weigh 1,000lbs maybe its exaggerated not confirmed. 
It seems that 570 lbs is the limit for non obese lion. Im not sure if Aslan is the heaviest lion in Europe, but he is definitely one of the heaviest (talking about non obese animals). Tigers are larger and their limit is probably somewhere around 650 lbs (such tigers are really very rare). The average for captive amurs is around 470 lbs.

Jaipur is obviously an obese specimen.
