Ok then, then things can be double checked. As I said, they had no idea about this Kennion at Marwell zoo when I asked if they can confirm any of these things. That doesn´t mean that he wouldn´t have been there though, espially if he was there only short period of time long time ago. But with this information it should be quite easy to check.

And this isn´t like it is with Aslan. What comes to Aslan, they have his weights in zoo records. All these claims by Kennion are something what these zoos haven´t confirmed, so we are talking about practically hearsay. Anyone working in the zoo could claim something like "we weighed this tiger or lion and he was xxx kg". Usually when animals are weighed properly, information is also in zoo records and anyone can get that information from the zoo (if/when they have time to reply). Like how situation has been with Aslan, Igor, Baikal, etc.

Feel free to contact Craig on FB, I had skepticism early on as well but he has far too many images of him with these cats as well as great info on cats that no other person has presented. 
In regards to zoos, hes not worked in years so it would make sense for modern day keepers to not know him if they never worked with him.
But like I said, contact him on Fb, he's very available and will happily discuss with you and answer whatever questions you have. Reply
