Captive Lion and Tiger weights

[andeancat]

The late Mohan (RIP), one of the most beautiful Asiatic Lions I have seen.  Right before he was put to sleep he weighed 182.5 kg.  He was 16.5 years old.

A much younger Mohan.  I would have loved to see how much he weighed in his prime.

So now we have the confirmed weights of Lucifer 190 kg, Mohan 182.5 kg before death, and 178 kg Paris.  I was also told by the research coordinator the Dublin Zoo: "Our adult fully grown females weigh around 130 – 140kg and adult males weigh around 180kg. We do not have any length measurements."
