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.

This Bengal tiger is known as huge (365 cm) as well, but I think size of this tiger is wrong.
It doesn't even look huge comparing to behind humans. This tiger has to look much bigger since it is much closer from camera.
Might have been lie to overrated tiger size hunted by upper classes people like viceroy and governor. Or maybe they didn't know how to measure tiger.

I even found a book saying "Lord Hardinge's tiger was 11 ft 6.5 in. Lord Reading's was 11 ft 5.5 in. Both measurements have been disputed: see Kesri Singh, Tiger of Rajastha (London: Robert Hale Limited, 1959), 33."
Thus, this 351 cm (11 ft 6.5 in) tiger is definitely wrong measurement.
