"Thank you for your email and kind words.
 
We had a mass dentist procedure for the animals at the sanctuary with Fixodent a few years back and they weighed the cats then so Ghandi is our biggest for sure"


I asked after this one more time specifically if Gandalf is legit 250 kg lion and reply was:

"Hi Yes, it is true and he is well. Thanks"


This video is from that dental operation, interesting to watch overall. Same video which I shared also in big cat vocalization thread, because this includes some snarling of really angry lion.

I wrote them a while back and they said their cats are between 190-210kg

Write again and ask specifically about Gandalf, it would be interesting to see what they say. I wrote to [email protected] .

Dear Jared,
 
Thank you for your interest shown in our lions.
 
Aslan’s operation was a success thank you and I am sure he is in a lot less pain having had his teeth repaired.
 
They were on average between 190 kg and heaviest if I recall was 210 kg.
 
No not really difference in the tawny vs white
 
Best Wishes,
Mandy

I spoke with Mandy, she said the heaviest was 210kg. 
Feel free to ask if Mandy, that's his wife I believe.
It's the same email address

She replied to me too. But did you get reply after 2014 operation or 2015?

The response was from Oct. 2016

Ok, then I guess, that need to write once again. In her reply to you there is some uncertainty. I mean "if I recall" part. I asked now twice very directly if Gandalf is really 250 kg, but since there is so big contradiction, hopefully this can be clarified. Reply
