About #275: This lady has a volcanic awakening !

Apart from that, perhaps it's an illusion, but this male lion is rather big, powerful, I find...

That male for sure looks like to be a big one and in good shape, I agree. When thinking a lion weighing anything between 200-250 kg, this is what I would expect it to look like. When comparing this to one captive lion weighing 250 kg, appearance is quite similar in many ways. Do you remember that video where is that big male jumping. Staff say on video, that it is 250 kg and pantherinae who has been working in that zoo also said, that when he was there and it was weighed, it was 255 kg.

Yes, I remind this lion ! A lion from a Scandinavian zoo, more precisely from Norway or Finland isn't it ? Yes it was a beautiful male lion, a beautiful captive male lion for sure... Because in terms of strength and vigour he would be unable to withstand more than 2 minutes against this one of the video... I refuse to compare captive animals with the wild ones, it's completely an other league. But yes, as you say, appearence is quite similar in many ways, appearance...

My observation was not about fighting in this case, just about appearance of those lions and what robust lion in good condition looks like :) And that was a zoo in Norway, where @Pantherinae lives. But if there is more about lions, then maybe we continue in some lion thread :) Reply
