209 kg south African lion ''Rajah'', see #1 lion tables.To give a perspective of how impressive is a 200-215 kg cat. A lion/tiger of that size is huge and impressive!

How reliable are these weights? Have they been properly weighed or could that just be a bit of keepers' estimates? I mean I've never heard of a a lioness that weighs 200+ kg, let alone a lioness that looks that fit . Reply

Captive lionesses that big are exceptional outliers, but not unheard of. In this thesis on captive South African lions I posted a few months back, the biggest female was about 220kg.
