Barcroft TV states hes 500lbs right here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1BvtJ8ktB4

Hi, I would be careful of stating this lion is 500 pounds based on that video. Bonedigger was in another video stated to be 350 pounds not 500 lb so I would take there statement with a grain of salt.

He's pretty well built though. Not humongous, but stout enough to be 400-450lbs...atleast during his prime. Doesn't look like a mere 350 pounder.

Just now cleaned all trash in this thread.
It's very time consuming to read all this crap.
I request everyone to stop repeating it.


@Garfield --> you are out for a week. Next time stick to the topic.

180kg frozen Indochina tiger found in an ambulance.

http://english.vietnamnet.vn/fms/society/176147/180kg-frozen-tiger-found-in-an-ambulance.html

Police tried to stop a private ambulance 37A-03115 after seeing it flout traffic rules, but the driver kept driving.

The driver and another man allegedly left the ambulance and ran towards the Cuc Phuong National Park.
Upon searching the ambulance, the police found the frozen tiger in a bag. The case is being investigated.
Late last month, five frozen tigers were discovered in a Vietnamese man’s freezer with their organs removed in central Nghe An Province.
According to the World Wild Fund for Nature (WWF), in 2011, Viet Nam had 30 wild tigers, but, at present, there are only five remaining in the natural environment.
In Việt Nam, the tiger is on the list of endangered species, and hunting or trading tiger is prohibited. Violators can face fines or criminal penalties depending on the level of violation.
Tiger organs and bones are used for medicinal purposes. Tiger bones are commonly boiled and mixed with rice wine in Viet Nam, a mixture believed to treat arthritis and increase strength.
A report titled “Reduce to skin and Bones Re-examined,” released last year by TRAFFIC -- a wildlife trade monitoring network -- and WWF, called on Viet Nam to close down tiger farms.
According to the report, Viet Nam has also become an increasingly significant hub for tiger trafficking and home to a growing number of tiger farms – close to 40 per cent of the country’s reported seizures came from captive facilities. 
It is estimated that there are more than 7,000 tigers in farms in Asia, mostly in China, Laos, Thailand and Viet Nam.

Was this mentioned here before?

At the end of the article:
"The tiger was eight years old and weighted 240kg. A lion, bear, dog and monkey were also part of the performance."

Hi, I don't mean to intrude but can I request the last few posts (including this one) be deleted because they are not relevant to the topic in question. Thank you.

SINBAD’S STORY


Beautiful Sinbad was born in 2001 and should be in his prime. But at just 80cm (32”) long and 125kg (20st) in weight he’s half the size of a normal lion, and his teeth are broken and worn.

This is called "paws the size of dinner plates". This tiger should be the size of madla then.

@parvez i thought the same thing.  Grin

There was a scene where Raghu Chundawat held tranquilised Madla's paw & it looked exactly like it. Madla had a bigger head though...& was more muscular (probably cuz he was wild).
