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.

As far as I know lions show quite low variability in size. Weight differencies between various subspecies or local populacions (craters are just a local population...a small population) are limited. Serengeti lions are around 180 kg...so 212 kg as average for crater lions would make surprisingly big difference. But who knows...? Maybe crater lions are descendants of some huge male...
Are there any reliable weights of crater lions? I know only about one young male (3-4 yo) who was 146 kg (if Im not mistaken).
