There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Ah I see, I did take the time to review the sizes of Asiatic lions posted.  It seems like there is not much available except Dr. Ravi Chellam's data and numerous weights on old/problem animals (poor sample).  I guess the Dr. Chellam weights are the most reliable until we find something better.  I have a growth chart from Sasan Gir Research Center of male and female zoo lions.  Male lions reach between 160-170 kg by age six and females are 120 kg.  Lions in European Zoos seem to be bigger, the only confirmed weights I have is two adult males which weighed (Lucifer) 190 kg, and (Paris) 178 kg respectively, and a 28/29 month old cub which weighed 143 kg.  One female weighed 138 kg (Paris's mate), and 28/29 month old female cub weighed 102.5 kg the sister of the 143 kg male.  None of these lions were overweight. I have two approximate weights of adult males at 150kg, 180kg respectively.  Cheers!
