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.

I think this is almero weighing The lion with The wildlife vet. 

 

This lion does look that big if you visualize it as closer then the three men.it looks big cause the right hand of the rigthmost guy looks like its resting in lion's head which obviously isn't the case thus this picture only has the illusion of the lion being big.

This lion was said to be around 220 kg according to Peter Buss who is the man behind the lion (middle). A big lion but nothing extraordinary

Frame-wise, its on average South African lion (especially from Northern Kruger). But I bet if Ngorongoro Crater lions were ever measured they may be bigger (frame and perhaps bulk). It's often quoted the Okavango Delta lion is the largest living lions. But from South Africa there are giants like BDM and from Kenya there is Caesar. For now until data is proven I will just say the South Africa lion (as a former subspecies) is largest.
