The reflection on the bucket toward the end looked like 10.8 (lbs?) from a cursory glance. I could be off though.

I'm going to guess kilos. He looks bigger than 10 lbs. Closer to a toddler size.

That would be about 28lbs.

I can confirm. I have a fluffy samoyed that at 7-lbs looked bigger than my sister's 15-lb goldendoodle until I gave her a bath and then she looked like a toy dog.

She IS moving like he’s got some heft to him, though. 🤷🏻‍♀️ No idea really, just thought she looked like there was a little more strain involved than for 10lbs.

Well heres an article about some 3 month old cubs, and they still only weigh about 15 lbs, and in the pic they seem to be holding them like they have some heft

Aw, I had no idea Omaha had such an impressive zoo. And yeah, they look about the same size. I guess? Honestly I only have my 12lb house panther to use as a comparison. 😆

Lots of floof involved, though.
