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.

Baikal looks even bigger than the Cromerian lion specimen with a 460mm skull.
This guy is absolutely a freak, he is not just a normal captive Amur tiger, but a reincarnation of the giant prehistoric tiger.
At the age of 12, he was weighed at 850 pounds, but his prime weight could be even higher.
Even during the prehistoric era, a big cat with his size would have very few feline rivals.
He was incredible, just see how he was agile and flexible for his size.
The average male captive Amur tigers weigh about 500 pounds which is the same as the male wild Amur tiger in the past.
But Baikal is exceptional, since his race can still often produce some specimens like him in the captivity, this has granted so much credit from many experts, and also lead them to believe that the Amur tiger still deserves the title of the largest cat.
