Head and body length of a full grown lion is 170-250 cm (1.7 to 2.5 meters) in males and 140-175 cm (1.4 to 1.75 meters) in females. Shoulder height is up to 4 ft in males and as low as 3 ft in females. The tail length is 90-105 cm in males and 70-100 cm in females. Weights for adult African lions range between 150-250 kg for males and 120-182 kg for females. Females are much smaller than males both in size and weight.

Their Asian counterpart - the Asian Lion is smaller in size and weight when compared to the African lion.
