2 cool videos inside the scientific breeding area Instituto onça pintada. Female Puma and Cerrado Jags Leandro calming down the female Puma Gigi that was in a moment of stress even the cerrado jags tried to help but Gigi didn't quite like it.   Amazing footage with a Maned Wolf playing with a Pantanal deer in the Jaguar conservation fund. What do you want to do ?

First clash between male and female Cerrado jaguars in their first introduction/meet in captivity NEX Institution ( The same institution that monitores Xangô Cerrado male ) introduced Yamí cerrado female ( the melanistic one ) to Xamã cerrado male ( the spotted one ) for the first time in the description Cristina says ''Despite Yamí being so aggressive Shamã's balance sets the tone of the conversation.'' they became good partners eventually. too bad the video cuts in the end. 
Aslan.

And those hind legs too, many say that male lions would have relatively weak backside... well, that is relative thing too obviously. And you said, that at one point he was 265 kg, when weighed if I don´t remember wrong? In these photos 255-265 kg? 
@Pantherinae :
About #1701: agree with @Shadow , the last photo, Aslan standing up on his back legs, is the most impressive. Really a top captive male lion ! 
Aslan reminds me of chalid the barbary lion ,in zoo hannover.

The heaviest I ever think he was weighed at was 260 kg. I have always though the opposite about the hindquaters of male lions, they often gets attacked there because of often fighting outnumberd so I would think evolution must have given them some extra strong backsides, especially looking at how much damage some male lions are able to endure there as well(kinky tail mauled by Majingilanes). Just an opinion ofcourse, but it would seen logical.(01-09-2020, 02:05 PM)Pantherinae Wrote: Aslan.
@Pantherinae :
About #1705: When a male lion is fighting two opponents which are together, that doesn't make any sense for him to get up on his hind legs. It would be suicidal. Perhaps for this reason one, the evolution didn't favor axtra strong hind legs as the tigers have... But even so that doesn't mean that their hind legs are weak, not at all.

The tiger however is well proportioned, more balanced and agile. Lion is front heavy and stiff, and as you point out would be stupid to stand up in a fight with the risk of a second attacker coming in going for your spine being big. It’s interesting that all the big cats are similar yet so different at the same time.

The Chuffing of the Jag Mother and daughter Carlota and Dandara reencounter each other again in NEX Institution and its cool to hear their vocalization interactions their chuffing/greeting sound that resembles that of Tigers.  (01-09-2020, 02:05 PM)Pantherinae Wrote: Aslan. He is a truly big lion with a gigantic frame, by looking at the picture below where Aslan is standing in front of a man. Frame wise (excluding weight because as we know ligers tend to be obese at their heaviest), I think Aslan and the big Siberian tiger like Bimbusko are as big as ligers.
Here is another of Aslan standing on hindlegs
