Physical characteristics
The male usually has a well-developed mane. Most of them are black-maned as well. Males are around 2.6–3.2 m (8.5–10.5 ft) long including the tail. Females are 2.35–2.75 m (7.7–9.0 ft). Generally, males weigh 150–250 kg (330–550 lb), while the females weigh 110–182 kg (243–401 lb). They have a shoulder height of 0.92–1.23 m (3.0–4.0 ft).
In 1936, a man-eating lion shot by Lennox Anderson, outside Hectorspruit, Eastern Transvaal, weighing about 313 kg (690 lb), was the heaviest wild lion on record (Campbell, 1937). In addition, male and female lions in Zimbabwe, the Kalahari and Kruger Park reportedly average around 189.6 kg (418 lb) and 126.9 kg (280 lb), respectively. These measurements are greater than those of the average weights of East African lions, which appear to be bigger than Central-West African lions, and Asiatic lions appear to be similar in size to Central African lions. Male Asiatic lions weigh 160–190 kg (350–420 pounds), and females weigh 110–120 kg (240–260 pounds) (Nowell and Jackson, 1996). For these reasons, and that the longest wild lion reportedly was an Angolan lion (Panthera leo bleyenberghi), Transvaal and Katanga lions appear to be the largest of the species Panthera leo, in the wilderness of Africa and the Earth, and amongst the World's biggest cats.
