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.
Thank you all for the great pictures, interesting how sexual dimorphism varies among big cats it seems to be most extreme with leopards where a big male can be easily twice the size of a female ( 96 kg vs 44 kg).
I think the sexual dimorphism will be also great in tigers and Pumas, a little bit less in lions and Jaguars, and the least in cheetahs, snow leopards, and clouded leopards....anything from same size to double the size of a female, more pronounced than in canids or hyaenids, less than ursids, much less than in seals and sea lions.
