As a Roman Catholic Algonquin metalheaded forest spirit, I personally feel the subsection in question deals almost exclusively with the times and spaces living people collectively prefer to group as "[[European]]", or pertaining to Europe (minus the MGM mascot, arguably). 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?

Come to think of it, there's probably enough lion-related content to spin |
Come to think of it, there's probably enough lion-related content to spin out a North American branch entirely. Off the top of my head, I can think of two teams Europeans wouldn't think of as football clubs and two luchadores the Turks, Uzbeks and Mongolians don't likely consider famous wrestlers. And there are multimedia licensing discrepancies, too. All in favour of recognizing/recognising at least the potential for a breakaway sublevel of trivial organization/organisation? Aye.

The most muscular mammals.
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 hope to hear from you. And I hope to see if you accept this information in the next edition.

Sanskrit connection
At lion:
- "Panthera is phonetically similar to the Sanskrit word पाण्डर pând-ara meaning 'pale yellow, whitish, white'."
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. 2A00:23C8:7B08:6A00:45FA:4CE:A465:F912 (talk) 17:28, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
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 https://books.google.de/books?id=gzg_AAAAYAAJ&newbks=0&printsec=frontcover&hl=de&redir_esc=y
In Etosha Dr Huberry(Rip) captured 10 males with a average weight of 190 kg and the heaviest was 260 kg http://the-eis.com/elibrary/sites/default/files/downloads/literature/Contraception_reproduction%20and%20demography%20of%20free_ranging%20Etosha%20lions.pdf
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
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"?
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 the Western world that 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).
As a Roman Catholic Algonquin metalheaded forest spirit, I personally feel the subsection in question deals almost exclusively with the times and spaces living people collectively prefer to group as "European", or pertaining to Europe (minus the MGM mascot, arguably). 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?
