" 590 lbs is an exceptionally large lion. Do you know who weighed this lion? Is there an actual weight record of this lion?


No doubt he was a large, powerful looking male lion, but he looked more in the mid-upper 400 lb range, nowhere near 590 lbs. Of course, this is just my visual estimation, I can easily be wrong. "

I have again listened this video. So sorry again, it was one of its two brothers "Blaze" who was weighed in 2017 at 590 pounds before being unfortunately killed because of human conflits (from 3mn15 within the video)...  And it's asserted that this lion was of the same size and attested by the guards to be "the most impressive male which they had the privilege to observe".

Otherwise, I am like you, I  am not able to make an accurate estimation of its weight only by seeing a video. If the lioness seems to be puny close to it, ok, but otherwise I can only tell it's a powerful male in its prime age. Reply
