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.

Those are trophy records from Safari Club International, you can only access the full reports ( the hunter report including measurements and the taxidermist and reviewer reports including more measurements) if you hunt and submit trophy yourself.
I requested info and better access even if I had to pay for it without me having to shoot an animal but I got zero cooperation once they knew my research interests versus hunting interests.
If full records are obtained we will have thousands of measurements for lions, leopards, and pumas , hundreds for cheetahs and jaguars ( plus thousands for brown bears and black bears and hundreds for other bears).
I will contact them again and share any info I obtain


I was actually referring to osteological measurements as you stated papers cited this specimen. I doubt hunters bothered with those but since you said it is housed in a museum it caught my interest. In what form was this specimen referred to by those authors? Just its mass?
