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.

Looking at the general weights the empty weight is around 190 kg and the natural weight around 200 kg. The max weight is 253 kg on an empty stomach.
Guate and Khan already explained this very well before I could, but still it should be remarked that no confirmed African Lion population averages at 200 kg. 
The general range is like 187-193+ kg, prime males would be higher like at 196-197 kg 

While I do estimate and believe Ngorongoro males to average likely in the range of 200-210 kg for their astonishing size, not too far from the general average of the Bengal tiger population of like 214 kg. 

But as I said, Guategojira explained that very well already
