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.

What's the story?the lion was Dinokeng. And it said that it was weight 265kg in 3 months this year. And it weight over 300kg by a scale in 2017, a lion fan get that from a lion  doctor,I hope someone confirm this.

It's the lion

So a few a things about this lion

1st is that absolutely no truly wild lion will ever look like this. This male was from Welgevonden game reserve which is a private reserve and through the Gap Africa Project which is a pay to "play" veterinary program. 

2nd with regards to the body length, there's absolutely no way this male was 221cm in HBL, maybe over the curves of this fat male would it be possible I guess but even then I doubt it.

Tbh he just looks full but we have no idea when he was captured. However considering he weighed 265 kg and 300 kg up in 2017 he must be in his prime. Scrolling through some pictures he never seemed to be "fat". This is the time (rough time) when Dinokeng weighed 300 up kg. He was most likely weighed when he was translocated to Welgevonden Game Reserve in 2017. If we guess he was full back then it will result in around 270-280+ kg i guess.
