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.

Yes, they are outdated. The reason, apart from the recent info on captive Indians lions, is there's no recent information about the size of wild male Indian lions. Anywhere.
Firstly, stop taking offence where none is meant. I asked for source, because i needed to know what time it was from.
A bunch of links, or even names would have sufficed!
And yes, it is very old data, from when the lion population was barely back from the brink, 1/6th of what it's today. That's the reason i'd asked... to find when it was from.
I think many here are at agreement that Bengal tiger size might have increased in the past century as the crash of numbers was arrested. I feel there's a greater need to gather new data on the lions too.
Thanks for the information bombardment though. It wasn't necessary, but it's appreciated! Sooo, would you consider editing out the scolding part?
