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.

That isn't "full" that's overweight. You will never see a true wild lion that bloated. This is a private reserve and all their Lions captured are overweight, there's a big difference between free ranging wild lions and these small private reserve lions used for pay to play veterinary services.

Well he seems fairly normal (healthy) to me amd he has a bit of content in the picture i sent. His condition was changing throughout his life and to me he never looked really overweight. There are defintely male lions that seemed to carry more fat on them like th SS male from Kruger, which was said to be a giant by the guides i contacted.

Dinokeng throughout his life.
