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.

As usual, biggest claimed weights come from sources, which can´t be considered so reliable, that weights could be confirmed. As far as I remember, heaviest hunted lion, which is quite commonly approved was 272 kg. Then heavies good looking lion in captivity, which I can remember was Aslan in Norwegian zoo, weighing 255 kg, @Pantherinae worked in that zoo and told that weight. It is also said by staff of that zoo in one video, that it weights 250 kg, so I consider that reliable for me at least.

Then when I look at Aslan and imagine there 50 kg more. Would it be very fat... I don´t think so. It might not be anymore the most ripped lion, but for sure it would be still quite fit lion. Based on that I don´t think that 300 kg lion in wild would be something impossible. Then again it is totally another thing to find one. We are, after all, now talking about exceptional individuals if that big lion would be found one day.

There are claims, that for instance Caesar, famous "Notch lion" would have been about 300 kg, it is said, that it would have been weighed and over 280 kg. But as usual, source is such, that verifying that weight is impossible. No information, who, when and where would have done that weighing. Even though those people are alive, they seem to be impossible to be in contact and get more information. It is 2019 and when someone gives claims like that, but then goes silent when more details is asked.... I find that simply ridiculous and unreliable personally.

So I personally wouldn´t be at all surprised if we one day would get confirmation about some 300 kg lion in wild. But then again to believe that I also want to see sources, who aren´t vanishing in silence immediately when more details is asked. Still old sources are often exaggerated. 800-1000 lbs lions would be possible only, when we are talking about "meatballs" in captivity.
1000 pound lions in wild is not impossible.Even a person could reach 1000 pound.But rarerly.And yes,old sources can be wrong.But 1000 pound lion in captivity is true.Simba black maned lion is not fat but extremely muscular.In wild 313 kg and 135 cm height at shoulder.350 kg lion shot in Eastern Tangayika Kruger.But maybe this is too much for a lion in wild.But not impossible.
