There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

This is the Amreli district: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amreli_district

The lion was hunted in the northern area, it is truly a record lion. According with appendix 3 of Divya.., there  is a lion hunted by Sayaji Rao Gaekwad of Baroda that measured about 10' 0''. No idea if they are the same animal, probably not, but still this is a good candidate from a 3 meters long specimen (the longest reported, measured between pegs, was of 298.5 cm.).
