There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. 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.

Funny thing is I haven't seen any reliable piece of info about these lions, no pics, any documents how they were weighed, any regard of food content, any records nothing. Even Guinness recognises the 313kgs lion as the biggest one from the wild and he can be observed in many documents and books. Nothing mentions of these two lions. 

Are these real or just gross exaggerations?

I don't take those claims serious anymore, we have enough data on Lions and Tigers to know their size range. If new locations are presented, for example *Ngorongoro or Botswana* then I'd be more incline to accept unique data but since we have tons of Lions weight throughout Tanzania, I'm certainly very hesitant to accept a 700 or 800lb Lion claim when no other Lion has reached that size with many valid sources to go off of.
