72 inch means 183 cm hbl , a 272kg lion must be atleast 195-196cm long in straight line .more likely it should be like 200-205cm with 140-142 cm girth and more than 1m height .

Its height is 40 inches about 101 cm. You can also guess its height according to its tibia and skull. Waveriders measured it, but she blocked the scale of the ruler(This little girl wrote the rumor of smearing the tiger into her thesis. She is a tiger hater. )Then, I guess this lion robbed many livestock.

1. Please read the e-mail carefully to ensure drawing the right conclusion. And some informations are "messed" up, the lion was transferred from Aberdare to Kenya not vice versa (might have been a small error). The lion was causing problems in the former national park according to Tom (he most likely said it had to do with cattles). He was living in Aberdare and was then transferred to Mount Kenya and after he lived there and left it he was eventually starving for a amount of time. This also explains why the officials and head chief vet had no data on him killing cattles but it is also most likely the case that the lion was never really caught killing cattles as these people were workers in KWS and had acess to the file data of the lion. So the conclusion remains:

- He was shot for attack tourists or leaving MOUNT KENYA
- He was/may have been a cattle killer or problem animal in Aberdare

It means at the time when he was weighed, he was not a cattle killer really.

Also i would take those measurements regarding length and height because these arent reliable judgements and based off the skull, the body length of this lion might be longer than average. However the data ragrding his limbs were published already in various places indicating that he was one of the most robust felids in the "Strength Index Score" Sheet so far excluding jaguars of course. 

"(This little girl wrote the rumor of smearing the tiger into her thesis. She is a tiger hater.)"

Suggest you to read his old posts to figure out why he didnt publish it. 

I was hoping more of this page compared to the tiger thread. Here there are only (assuming) tigerfanatics posting data of lions. Reply
