Captive Lion and Tiger weights

Craig just claimed this is Baikal
 *This image is copyright of its original author But as most of here know, we haven't been able to get confirmation on this being Baikal and the weights quoted for the Baikal that was killed by the 2 younger Cats have been highly disputed.  
I discovered my e-mail to zoo Prague from 2014.
Background: In 2011 I asked them via their web pages how big is their asiatic lion Parys. They told me that he has been weighted couple of times and his biggest weight was 178 kg. In 2014 I asked them once again (perhaps someone from wildfact asked me to do it...I dont remember) and this is their reply. They estimate his weight to be 160 - 170 kg. And he was born in 2002
Thats him, my photo, taken in 2015. BTW I share my photos only here, you wont see them anywhere else so I hope you appreciate that

When talking about that "famous Baikal", which was said to be something like 800 lbs, but was in reality 550 lbs. So in this Craig is wrong. Of course this can be some other tiger named Baikal, who knows. It would be interesting to know from which zoo this photo is taken though. That tiger looks good.

Once upon a time there was a young businessman, Oleg Zubkov, who 25 years ago, started building his first private zoo Skazka (fairy tale) in Crimea, Yalta. The project turned out to be successful, and 10 years later, he decided to build a lion safari park named Taigan. At the time when the park was opened, there were about 50 lions living in the savannah that was surrounded by a metal fence. Tourists walked through the park along the bridges elevated 3 meters above the ground, and thus they could observe the life of the lions as if they were living in the African savannah. When the lions were released into the savannah, they enjoyed living the life of lions, created prides, chose a leader, gave birth to their offspring and, although it did not happen very often, they could even kill an opponent in a fight. No one, not even maintenance personnel, nor the owner of the park Oleg Zubkov entered the territory of the savannah. Perhaps it could have continued like this, had not an incident occurred in the first year of the park’s operation...

Yes, it was closed by the Crimean authorities in December but since then the Federal Government intervened and made the local Crimean authorities to cut a peace deal with the owner of the zoo. He was ready to open this park in April but all of a sudden this pandemic came and now the opening date when all the lions are set free in the savannah, April 18, is threatened.

And this is yet another Baikal. Around 250 kg (weighted). My photo, he was around 12yo I think. I took this photo in 2012. Average height, but long and massive.
