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.

As it included very sick individuals
I don't think a lion will average 155kg with n=22
That's not possible
Also Ceaser the lion was weighed
But not sure

Bertram gave 187 kg (n = 11; range 167 to 204 kg) which is quite good and normal weight for lions, specially those belonging to the Panthera leo massaica subspecies.
Also, I remember sharing the email conversation with Sheldrick Wildlife Trust who darted Caesar. They told that he wasn't weighed. So the weight number in the screenshot is, at best, an estimate from Reuben and hence cannot be included.
I already included bertram datas bro!
No.2 - serengeti NP
Ok I'm not sure about the ceaser thing
