Best Answer

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.

No, lions do not molt. Only birds molt. Lions shed hair, seasonally, just like house cats.

No. Gorillas are not reptiles nor birds, they are mammals; mammals do not molt as they grow. They will shed hair and skin cells, yes, but never molt.

Most don't. Molting is a way to grow, and as winged insects are the adult forms, they don't have to grow anymore, and they don't molt. Growing is done in the larval form. Some insects such as mayflies molt into their winged adult form, and then later molt again and emerge with reproductive abilities, but this is not common.
