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.

Yeah, of course. It wasn't really about who was the biggest, I was rather more interested in his views on the whole matter.
I do respect the opinion about size of the people that have seen them personally, but after a certain size, it gets very difficult to be objective about it.
That said, I was impressed by what he said about Kalahari lions.
Of course, I've just seen pics of them, but they appear to be lean, athletic lions, but not particularly big(considering for example the huge frame the amazing Skybed males have, to name one group).
