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.

LIONESS
Here's the updated table on lions in northern Namibia. I'll update the table every time you post good info:

Males 8 and 9 lost their mom at a very early age. Although they live in a large enclosure, they're not habituated. They're not as heavy as their wild relatives, because they don't have the same opportunities.
When you post, try to find as much as you can. We need a bit more on male lions 10-13.
As to regions. I think we should distinguish between Etosha (wild lions but close to Hobatere and domestic animals), Hobatere and adjacent districts (cattle lions), and the Kalahari (wild lions). My guess is we'll significant differences in weight. I'm especially interested in females.
