Captive Lion and Tiger weights

[Shadow]

I got one reply concerning tiger Gamin. I asked about him from one other zoo and biologist in hope to get some information. In this case the person and zoo don´t want to be involved in this kind of discussions (not about their own animals after all), but I can share text. 

"Thank you for your email.  I am not aware of any big cats heavier than you have already found, and I have the same weights for Gamin as Marwell have already given you, so not aware of anything before this time.   Gamin was born at Parc Zoologique de Jurques in France, but there are no weights recorded for Gamin before 2011.
 
As Marwell have already informed you, they don’t have any staff working there now who worked with Gamin, there may be a possibility he was massively overweight and went on a strict diet when he arrived at Marwell in 2002.  Looking at photos and footage of him, that does seem to be the case, as some of the photos he looks very overweight, and in others he is a lot slimmer, but has excess belly fat!
 
Hope this helps" Reply
