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.

3mo, 3 boys. Their father Igor was born in 2010 and he was weighted recently - something over 240 kg. I saw him 2 years ago (unfortunately not now) and he was 220 kg then. He is very tall and long but he was also very lean...when I saw him I thought that he certainly has the potential to be over 250 kg without being obese

Krugers, 4.5 yo. Male is robust, but of average height and lenght. Id estimate him to be around 170 - 180 kg.

Id say that lions (captive) are more interactive than tigers. Tigers just dont care about people

ZOO Schonbrunn, Vienna, Austria. I forgot what is the subspecie of this lion, but I think its asiatic. Huge, I estimate him to be 180+ kg.

From this angle, he looks somewhat emaciated, making that 240+ kg claim seem a bit dubious.
Just my humble opinion

As I said before, he is very lean, but also very tall and long. This article is from 2015 (he was 5yo then). https://www.tyden.cz/rubriky/relax/zvirata/zoo-hodonin-hlasi-na-svet-prisla-vzacna-tygri-dvojcata_347903.html  "Igor vazi asi 220 kilogramu" means "Igor weighs around 220 kilograms".  I saw him in 2015 and I would say that 220 kg was very reliable number. 

Ad I would say that tiger who is 220 kg at the age of 5 could be easily 240 kg at the age of 7.

BTW if Igor was as robust as this 220 kg (weighted) male, he would be certainly over 250 kg.
