When it died it was 16,5 years old, weighed 182,5 kg, when I asked from zoo, they said that it was about 220 kg in his prime condition. In opposite enclosure there are siberian tigers and I have to say, that Mohan didn´t look like to be smaller in any way when going from one enclosure to another. It got cubs, hopefully some future generations descending from it would be able to run free and wild some day. It is one of the best looking Asian lions I have ever seen. https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-10539926  (05-26-2019, 12:19 AM)Shadow Wrote: This handsome Asian lion, Mohan passed away December 2018, I saw it many times and damn it was big and handsome.

@Rishi :
About #1115 and #1122: About the two photo of the same lion seeming rather "solid" as @Lycaon said. At the #1115, I have believed this photo was taken after a rain, the grass is very green and I had the impression that this male lion had his mane wet and coagulated, a little bit as he had received a buket of water over his head. But at the #1122 photo, I see he is poorly maned on top of his head and neck. Nevertheless he is still a powerful male ! It's the most important...

Mohan was father of many cubs during his life.(05-26-2019, 12:19 AM)Shadow Wrote: This handsome Asian lion, Mohan passed away December 2018, I saw it many times and damn it was big and handsome.
