Hello everyone, here I found a book that mentions the fact that lions are the mammals with the highest percentage of skeletal muscle among all mammals. |
|||
58.8% (It is mentioned rounded up as 59%), 1.31 times more than the average mammal. |
|||
It is on page 19. |

I’d like to suggest a change to the featured images, or in the very least to the lioness image. I’m a little biased, of course, as the images are my own. The [[c:File:Lion_waiting_in_Namibia.jpg|current male]] is a stunning specimen, so I won’t be too disappointed if the consensus is to keep it. Lions in sanctuaries are always just so majestic! This is a photo the biggest male I’ve seen, and my proposed [[c:File:Lion_at_Working_with_Wildlife_South_Africa.jpg|male image]]. |
|||
Source: |
|||
For a lioness, this is my [[c:File:Lioness_at_Working_with_Wildlife_South_Africa.jpg|proposed photo]] and the most impressive female I’ve ever seen. Bias aside, I really think she is a perfect example and an improvement over the current lioness image. Hopefully my contribution can help!

At [[Panthera]]: |

:"The phonetically similar Sanskrit word पाण्डर ''pând-ara'' means 'pale yellow, whitish, white'." |

Phonetic similarity is an irrelevant coincidence unless there is also some etymological connection. I suggest that either the etymological connection is stated or the sentence is deleted if none is known.

== Body Size of African Lions == |
|||
Hi, |
|||
i think the informations about the body size is not conclusive. So i suggest to make averages for all regions that differ noticably as they could even be claimed as seperate subsepcies. The measurements, skull differnces suggest that as well. |
|||
For example the average for 175 kg east african lions is not the only data. |
|||
Bertram et al gives the average for East African lions at 187 kg on a empty stomach (. Professor Robert Kock(Chef KWS vet) euthanized a male lion in 1993 because of domestic stock raiding in Kenya. The weight was 272 kg on a empty stomach as he said it to me in a personal communication. |
|||
The 272 kg lion was NMK OM 7935 and from Nowell and Jacksons page 42 |
|||
https://portals.iucn.org/library/efiles/documents/1996-008.pdf |
|||
And more detailed infos from Gnoskes study at page 27 |
|||
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/250181260_The_Science_of_'ManEating'_Among_Lions_Panthera_leo_With_a_Reconstruction_of_the_Natural_History_of_the_'Man-Eaters_of_Tsavo' |
|||
For South African Lions from Kruger NP the average for 16 males was 200.01 kg. (Lions infected with tubercolosis not included because the symptoms are heavy weight loss and 5 males out of the 16 infected liond even died and no one surpassed the age of 10 years) |
|||
https://www.sanparks.org/parks/kruger/conservation/scientific/projects/Project_Reports_PDF/73.pdf |
|||
From A. Roberts(famous zoologist) it can be seen a lion of 251 kg in Kruger NP was recorded. Page 192 |
|||

|||
In Etosha Dr Huberry(Rip) captured 10 males with a average weight of 190 kg and the heaviest was 260 kg |
|||

|||
Personal Communication i had wwith him. He provided more infos about this lion to me.. 191 cm length, chest: 139cm, height: 106 cm, weight: 260 kg |
|||
[[File:Ky7VWmW|frame]] |
|||
And i can provide official lion weights of 280 kg from Timbavati but they werent published in a study. I contacted the ecologist and the normal email adress of timbavati. The lion had a mate who was also weighed at 250 kg but that doesnt matter now. |

== "Western world" or "Europe"? == |

|||
{{u|LittleJerry}}, friends, lionfolk, lend me your ears. A schism exists among us today, basically centred on whether Far Eastern, Middle Eastern and Near Eastern cultural significance of Leo should be understood relative to Old World approximation of [[Western civilization]], where the map ended in the Sea, or post-15th century thinking, wherein [[Western culture]] is pretty much dominated by stuff from New York and Los Angeles (but also encompasses parts of Southern Ontario, South Australia and South Africa). |

Hello to all of you. I added information on the biteforce of ''Panthera leo'' because other ''Pantheras'' have this information. I put it up here to let the three major page contributors—BhagyaMani, LittleJerry, and Casliber—know. As I can personally attest to, readers find this kind of information to be really helpful, so I advise leaving the edit rather than rolling it back. Having been a Wikipedia reader since 2018, I was dismayed to see no mention of bite force on any of my favorite articles. I hope I was able to serve the readers here.

As a Roman Catholic Algonquin metalheaded forest spirit, I personally feel the subsection in question deals exclusively with the times and spaces living people collectively prefer to group as "[[European]]", or pertaining to Europe. But I appreciate how an editor who identifies as an Anglo-Saxon Protestant technopunk urban dweller (or other class) might read it differently. What say you, international volunteer committee?
