Whether or not a cat is quoted by a “scientist”  doesn’t mean that all things are equal. Living a truly wild life vs semi is a large factor.

The 3 males originated from the wild. They were not for 6 months but just for around 6 weeks. They didnt eat for 4 days, which means they had entirely empty stomachs. They were big males and i cant imagine how heavy lions from other famous coalitions are/were (Notch for example). A bit sad that i have found no pictures of them

“Were wild”
Not wild while they sat in an enclosure for 2 months being fed bait, not hunting on their own or living a wild life.
They had empty stomachs in the literal sense but they lived a captive life for multiple months. There is nothing empty about being baited cattle.

So that your opinion but they were quoted to me as wild ones. Also around 6 weeks is around 1.5 months... nothing dramatical (6 months is completely different) And one may note they only ate what they got. Also not eating for 4 days they certainly loost some kgs/pounds. Anyways speculating isnt he best option here

Quoted or not, they lived in an enclosure for 2 months being baited cattle. Which of course is plenty of time to put on weight/fat. No hunting or territorial treks, meaning no real exercise while being fed as much as they can eat, it’s also probably why they’re so close in weight as well. Reply
