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 think that 197 kg average (as proposed by Peter) is fair (or perhaps generous). This would mean that crater lions are (probably) the biggest local lion population in the world.

And 197 kg lion...thats pretty impressive beast.


BTW this lion was 178 kg at the age of 8. I saw him from close distance (about 1 meter). Incredible beast. When I saw him I thought "omg, he is the same size as the 205 kg amur tiger in next cage, but probably even bigger".
