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.
A few extra inches go a long way in adding on to mass in essentially all species, especially cats. Of course, sometimes a specimen can be so bulky and wide that it makes up for a relatively short frame. Being wider increases mass similarly to being longer as the same rules apply. Interestingly, lions don't have a good length and weight correlation from hunting records, probably because hunting records have gorged/emaciated and/or inaccurate weights, but the general felid trend is represented by the tiger conclusions.
