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.
I think all this proves is that every guide or eye witness wants to be the one to view "the largest" or "best" so of course they are going to say that "No, they aren't the largest, I have seen the largest" and "they are here or there"
I think that's human nature.
We know better now, there isn't some secret big cat society that is going to produce the monster of monsters, it's usually going to be a 10-30kg difference and most likely, not that high when comparing averages and to determine which is larger or smaller will be very subjective.
