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.

The published equation is incorrect (numbers do not work out) and actually has a flaw due to the lack of log scaling (this flaw is in all published chest girth equations).

Copied from the lion extinction thread (refer to that for the equation): "Using the equation here, the 127 cm girth is of a 192 kg specimen and the 134 cm girth of a 211 kg specimen, averaging the two masses gives 202 kg." 37 data points went into it, so it's very strong from what's available. Average percent error is 9.7%.
