@predatorus.hyena: Makhulu (Big Mak) Bm:~235 ± 15 kg Sh:~118 cm (1.18 m) Hbl:~200 cm (2 m) Tl:~292 cm (2.92 m) Wagdoh (Big Daddy) Bm:~230 ± 10 kg (est.) Sh:~101 cm (1.01 m) Hbl:~208 cm (2.08 m) Tl:~304 cm (3.04 m) Makhulu was leader of the Mapogos, the most dominant and ruthless coalition in the history of Sabi Sand. He possessed an extraordinary shoulder height (118 cm) and a massive, imposing forebody a trait rarely seen in lions. The genetics of the Mapogos can still be observed today in their great grandsons the Kambula males. With an official weight of 220 kg (recorded when he was over 10 years old) and a clear body length of 2 meters, he was an iconic lion who pushed the genetic limits of the modern species thanks to his sheer size and superior height at the shoulder, he literally towered over his rivals. Wagdoh is one of the most powerful and aggressive Bengal tigers ever seen in the forests of Tadoba. Contrary to exaggerated legends claiming he weighed 270–300 kg, Wagdoh was never actually weighed, so his precise weight remains unknown. However, based on an official chest girth measurement of 136 cm, he is estimated to have weighed around 235-240 kg in his prime. For comparison, the Sauraha male (T-105) recorded as the heaviest Bengal tiger had a chest girth of 140 cm and weighed 260 kg, therefore, claims suggesting Wagdoh weighed 270-300+ kg are not accurate. #lion #vs #tiger #animals #sizecomparison
