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.

Keep it coming, Lioness! Excellent work.

We now have reliable weights of 10 male lions and four lionesses from northern Namibia. The 10 males average 199,10 kg. or 439 pounds (range 170-244 kg. or 375 - 538 pounds), whereas the four females average 148,75 kg. or 329 pounds (range 126-160 kg. or 278 - 353 pounds). Of the 10 males, 3 are young adults. One of the 4 lionesses was 2-3 years of age only when she was weighed. Without her, the average is 156,33 kg. or just over 344 pounds.

Although not corrected for stomach content, the averages are impressive. The Namibian lionesses top every table, whereas the males compare to Kruger Park males.
