See post #2153,Page 144. The asiatic lioness is big. I've posted an article stating 215 kg and it's on captive lion and tiger weights.
Here is that article stating 215 kg African.

It's the first time I see this video, already dated from 5 years. Is it a pure coincidence or is it true that this iconic Gir lion was always accompanied/followed by a troop of jackals. ?

" Owner Saves Dog from Lions: A Heroic Act in the Heart of Gir, India
In a remarkable and nerve-wracking encounter in Gir, India, an owner saves dog from lions in a story that has captivated animal lovers and nature enthusiasts alike. The incident highlights the tense and sometimes dangerous interactions between wildlife and domestic animals in regions where humans and wild predators coexist closely.

The Gir Forest, known for being the last refuge of the Asiatic lion, is home to a growing population of these majestic big cats. However, as their numbers increase, so do their interactions with nearby villages, leading to occasional conflicts. In this particular incident, a dog found itself in the crosshairs of two lions that had wandered into the village, drawn by the presence of domestic animals.

As the lions approached, the dog instinctively began barking, attempting to ward off the intruders. The situation quickly became dire as the lions, undeterred, moved in closer, their predatory instincts kicking in. Just when it seemed like the dog was in grave danger, its owner bravely intervened.

In an incredible display of courage, the owner rushed to the scene, determined to save his beloved pet. With quick thinking and fearless action, the owner saves dog from lions, successfully scaring the big cats away. The video of this daring rescue has since gone viral, drawing widespread admiration for the owner's bravery and love for his dog.
