“The fact is that no species has ever had such wholesale control over everything on earth, living or dead, as we now have. That lays upon us, whether we like it or not, an awesome responsibility. In our hands now lies not only our own future, but that of all other living creatures with whom we share the earth.” - David Attenborough

As for the subspecies of the lion that became extinct in historical time, the data on their size and weight are most often insufficient and unreliable. However, it is possible that some of them, for example, the Barbarian subspecies, noticeably exceeded the largest modern lions in mass. The famous lion hunter, Jules Gerard, wrote in the middle of the 19th century that the carcass of an adult male weighs more than 600 pounds (~ 272 kilograms). If this estimate is correct, then the Barbary lion on average exceeds in mass both the modern subspecies of lions and the modern subspecies of tigers. In addition, Gerard wrote about the size of the footprints of males, as exceeding the area of \u200b\u200bthe hand with fingers spread apart, that it is difficult for a person to tear the head of a dead lion from the ground, and about how the strongest man in their regiment settled when put on the skin and head of a slain lion. This also indirectly indicates the large size of the representatives of this subspecies. These data, of course, cannot be called reliable, but in any case, information about the size of this subspecies is not enough to draw unambiguous conclusions.

The length of the body of a lion, together with the head, reaches 170-250 cm in males and 140-175 cm in females. Height at the shoulders is about 123 cm in males and 107 cm in females. The length of the tail in lions ranges from 90 to 105, and in lionesses - from 70 to 100 cm . The maximum body length (3.3 m ) was possessed by a male with a black mane, killed in the southern part of Angola in October 1973. The heaviest known lion was a cannibal; he was shot dead in 1936 in the Eastern Transvaal, South Africa. Its weight was 313 kg. Lions living in captivity tend to weigh more than those predators that live in the wild. A lion named Simba was registered at Colchester Zoo in the UK in 1970, weighing 375 kg.

In North and Northwest India, the lion was a common predator. However, human persecution and habitat destruction have led to the fact that in Africa the lion has survived only south of the Sahara, its range is now greatly reduced. In Asia, a small population exists in the Gir Forest (in the Indian state of Gujarat).

The historical range of the lion was much wider than the modern one: even in the Early Middle Ages, the lion was found throughout Africa, except for deserts and tropical forests, it could also be seen in the Middle East, Iran, and even in a number of places in southern Europe (for example, it lived on part territory of the modern south of Russia, rising to about the 45th parallel north).

Science does not have sufficient data on the size and mass of representatives of the largest subspecies of the lion (for example, the Barbary). As for animals living in captivity, they are often a mixture of different subspecies. There is an opinion that lions in captivity are somewhat larger than tigers in size and weight[4], as well as the opposite.

It is difficult to say for certain whether the largest subspecies of the lion is more massive than the largest subspecies of the tiger. This is due to the fact that the known very large masses of Amur tigers, for the most part, are recognized as insufficiently reliable .
