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.

Not true

If you mean Waghdoh hasn't been weighed, than thats fine.
Many huge tigers have been weighed, and if we would accept hunting records from both Lions and Tigers, than the gap really widens.
To this day, there is no verified lion weighing over 230kg I believe. Tigers bottom out 227kg scales and 250kg scales. Take into account how many more Lions have been weighed compared to the # of tigers and you really get a idea of how large tigers can be.
Also, they have stated that its harder to tell the difference between two huge Tigers compared to a Huge tiger and a not so huge tigers. These guys are eye witnesses and photographers, they see these animals all the time, they are much more qualified to say which may be larger or smaller, but trying to tell the difference between two huge cats without them being near eachother is very difficult.
