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.
There we have it again. Lions just seem to make an impression of being quite tall. Strangely enough the tables with the measurements we have about different lion populations show no significant difference between indian (sundarbans excluded) and amur tigers. Before I found forums like this here, I thought amur tigers and lions are about the same shoulder height and bengal tigers are shorter at the shoulder, which I based on photos I´ve seen. I guess numbers don´t lie but photos do (mostly).
Though on a photo, this male looks impressive nevertheless.
