That isnt an good attempt to discard a heavy lion. The scientist was rather exact and i dont need to quote him again. The smallest male was 222 kg and the biggest 237 kg and the other one... he didnt knew the exact number but it was around 230 kg. Wait.... as i know didnt Punchkatta brake the scale instead of bottoming it?

I am not attempting anything, is a fact that the figure is an estimate, the same guy say it in the email, he says that is not sure and provide an estimation. How you can use an estimate as a real weight is beyond my reach, but like I told you before, "about 230 kg" means that it was not EXACTLY that weight, it could be 233 kg or could be 227 kg, who knows, and that is the point. If you start using estimates the reliability of the records are going to drop drastically.

Also, who says that Punchkatta bottomed the scale? Read my post again, read it twice if necesary.

He did bottom the scale, he’s only using the verbiage of “broken off” to imply that the maximum was 225kg.
