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.

He thinks it is 182cm. In short, the measurements of this lion may be shorter than the average, or equal to the average(straight line). Correct measurements measure is: the nose to  the sacrum near(the caudal vertebra is behind the sacrum); And the straight bone length(including pelvis) of om7935 is almost the same as that of Amur Tiger with 161kg and 191cm curve(it seems to be about 1cm shorter). Also, bones are inclined in the body of big cats, such as cervical vertebrae and hip bones, so this also needs to be reduced in length.
