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.

My gut tells me the measurements are of the skin. I mean 310 mm and 185 kg would only work on a cheetah's built. About 170 kg is likely on point for that Javan specimen (I used isometry with the Java skull and a few other skulls), unless of course, it just had a big head. 

Is the 270 cm male measured over curves? He's a bit lighter than what I would expect based on the robust long bones of the Javan form. De Kanter's lengths seem a bit inflated, he likely measured over some serious curves or stretched out skins.
