Lion Directory

I can't even find any information on him at all, no weights of any lions taken.
Do you have any?

Measurements are much easier to take than weight. Scales must be used by multiple people, big animals must be arranged correctly, etc.
Its easy for a couple of people to take measurements and use them for estimates, which Im sure is the case here.
Also, the large drop in weight from all other lions, especially those with very similar measuremetns and even larger measurements at times is another reason why this is most likely estimated.

Since this animal was most likely baited as well, lions and tigers can eat up to 40kg in a sitting, its possible that the lion could be in the 220-230kg range as well. Which would match up nicely with Wardens 234kg lion. And his lion was actually slightly taller at the shoulder and longer in head and body. So it would most likely be a heavier speciman. I think his lions were baited as well, but gaute would know that for sure.
