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.

Were the lions all full grown when weighed?
That is something that we can't know, sadly. The methods to classified an adults specimen vary from person to person in the old records, and only in the modern scientific records can be reliable taken as accurate in this department.
What we see in the tables are approximations of the real figures, and we most take in count that those specimens are "adults", although ranging from 3 years and up, which seems to be the case of all the tables made at this time.
