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.

Do you have any photos from Masai Mara?

...or perhaps your brother could have some...ask him...

Its not easy to estimate the size of an animal via photo...its not even easy to estimate the weight of an animal standing in front of you. Anyway I think that 200 kg empty is a reasonable estimate - big lions. Alleged 230-250 kg empty would mean that they are Waghdohs among lions. Not impossible but improable.


btw imagine 2 big cat enthusiasts standing in front of a cage with male lion and arguing about his weight. "This lion is 220 kg!" - "No no...this lion is 195 kg!" ...ridiculous...

Are you sure about their age, ceasar definitely looks as old as Grimace, and lions grow manes differently. 
Just curious...
