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.
Nothing in paper, no, although I asked about it. What I did found was a video where this is discussed.
I know they were indeed weighed, as they were collared, but what I'm not sure is if the weights mentioned are a mere estimation or the actual weight. Assuming it was only an estimation, it must not be very far from the actual weight, considering the males were weighed(that would be taking into consideration fails in the scale weight or food intake, as Guate did with Jai's weight).
Unfortunately, I don't have something to prove the real weights, btu if I ever happen to find it, I'll post about it.
A couple of pics now about the males in question. This was the Old Birmingham male.

And here is Mabande with the Birmingham male, after Ximpoko was poached. The article where I took this images from talked about how impressed the rangers were with the size of these males, particularly with the Birmingham male.
