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.

~~Agreed, from the weights I have seen, its usually a 15kg-40kg difference (tiger being heavier) when comparing averages or maximums. Which is right around the 10%-15% range


I disagree. Crater lions, at an estimated average for full grown males of 212kgs, are extremely close in size to the largest tiger subspecies,
estimated at 221 kgs. (adjusted, small sample ). Not much of a difference; at all. Peter summed it up quite accurately. Tigers reach extremes 
more often. There simply isn't enough recorded data on craters and Okavangos, along with Kazirangas to accurately guage the size difference
between the largest subspecies of each. I believe its much closer than you claim. The largest tigers eak it out over the largest lions.
