Quote:The three lions were all immobilised together and had not eaten for four days (they were thus regarded as having “empty” stomachs).

So I´m a bit confused right now. 

First email said they had eaten before weighing. And second email has two conflicting sentences regarding the food content.

It says he knows when they eat. But he isnt saying they were gorged. It seems Rob misunderstood something

can you confirm with him if the weights were taken after eating or not, for clarification, and if they were taken at the time of capture in etosha or at the time of release from temporary enclosure? Reply
