Most male Lions in the wild will weigh anywhere from 450lbs to well over 600lbs. Lioness' are smaller and will usually be from 250 to approximately 400lbs. Currently the heaviest/largest living Lion on record is "Rutledge" a male lion living at "Oaklawn Farm Zoo" in Nove Scotia. He tips the scales at over 845lbs and is a massive specimen bar none, for any cat. Indian lions of course are much smaller than their African cousins and will vary from 300lbs to about 500lbs.
Weight depends of geographic location, available prey, gender, age, and health. It has been noted that lions of South Africa are frequently larger than those of East Africa, subject to differing prey selection.
In Kruger Park, the weights of 344 lions ages 4 and above were recorded. Males portrayed an average of approximately 190 kg (418.87 lbs). During this study it was discovered that lions continued to increase in girth and acquired their full weight around age seven, after which point, they declined in mass. Thus the study reflects a mean based on growth fluctuation. Males in their prime averaged 196 kg (432 lbs). The largest lion in this study (Age 5) harbored a mass of 225 kg (496 lbs). Another male, age 10, weighed 206 kg (454 lbs.). Stomach contents were notincluded in the weights of the 344 Kruger big cats.
Females were on average 63 kg smaller than their opposite gender companions.
In Rhodesia, male lions presented a mean of 193 kg (425.48 lbs), the largest of which was 215 kg (473 lbs). Kalahari males weigh an average of 188 kg (414 lbs), with the heaviest cat hitting the scales at 214 kg (471 lbs).
The weights of 17 lions were recorded in Zimbabwe (5 males, 12 females) with a range of 105(f)-211(m) kg (231-465 lbs). 18 individuals weighed by Smithers and Wilson sustained an average of 202 kg (445 lbs).
The Field, February 1937, presented a list of 5 males from transvaal weighing an alleged norm of 217 kg, or approximately 477 lbs, the largest of which occupied the scales at 250 kg (553 lbs), later quoted by C. R. Pitman. According to the author, these weights were meticulously documented by officials and eye witnessess confirmed their truth, however, they were not gathered with scientific purpose, and therefore, unlike the weights above, are considered questionable.
Although several lions have been recorded at 550 lbs plus, the average for the South African lion appears to be 400-450 lbs, with the largest cats reaching 470-500 lbs.
In East Africa, males have the potential to attain masses seen in South African lions, but they average less, 174 kg (383 lbs), the bulkiest being 204 kg (449.7 lbs).
This trend is also observed in the Asiatic lion, P. leo persica. The reason for this contrast in mass, as cited by Turner, Smuts, Schaller, Mitra, etc... resides with the matter of available prey and habitat.
Some of the biggest lions ever recorded consist of a 272 kg (599 lbs) male from Kenya, a 313 kg (690 lbs) lion from Transvaal, a 264 kg (585 lbs) beast from S.A, and a 251 kg (553 lbs) male from Transvaal.
African lions grow much larger in captivity. The fabled 'Rutledge' weighed 365 kg (807 lbs). 'Simba' weighed 375 kg (826 lbs). Peter Jackson cites the largest detained lion at 432 kg (930 lbs).
The average weight of a full grown Asian elephant is 3 tons. The average weight of a full grown African forest elephant is 3 tons.
The average weight of an African bush elephant is 6-1/2 tons.
A fully grown elephant can weigh between 2,200 and 6,600 kilograms (4,800 to 14,500 pounds), depending on the species.
A full grown male lion can range in weight from 250 to over 500 pounds, depending on the species. Females are generally quite a bit smaller.
It varies with the breed. Small cats like Siamese often weigh less than 8 lbs., while larger breeds such as the Maine Coon and Norwegian Forest Cat will average more like 13-16.
A lions weight can range 270-570 lb depending on gender and genetics particular to the individual lion.
