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.
“The equation provided by U. S. Seal to Packer for males differs to the one provided for females.”
It means the male and female equations have been provided to Packer and colleagues by U. S. Seal. So Packer “don’t participated” in the formula. And? Have you got an idea how a scientific paper is written when there are many contributors? Probably not. I do know it as I have written quite a number of them either with one or more contributors other then me and alone. I am not willing to explain it to you as it takes time I am not going to spend.
Because of the typo in the male lion paper and because it was not Packer who extracted the equations, you therefore discard the estimate of 212 kg? I can of course accept that you reject any estimate in principle (any, even those fantasy estimates of 300 kg tigers based on pictures). In the case of Ngorongoro Crater lions there is not much to offer other then weight estimates. Why you should be so worried that Ngorongoro Crater adult male lions can actually average over 200 kg, perhaps even more then 212 kg, perhaps even at empty stomach, as suggested by the actual chest girth data range provided by Packer?
By the way, do you know about any individual weight of lions from Ngorongoro Crater?

Words and words and more words. WHERE is the EVIDENCE?????
Every time that I show your mistakes, you only reply running from the principal point. The formula is NOT from Packer, and was not provided TO Packer also. He directly say that, this is the point, period.
Of course I know how a document, with many authors, is made. I have published documents, professionals and amateur ones, from me and with others, do you remember? However, you say that you have "data", but again you fail to show it. I have nothing to hide and I gladly show all what I have, that is the difference between you and me. By the way, you dismissed the emails from Dr Sunquist just because it showed that you are wrong, so, do you think that this actions make you more reliable???
No one is saying ANYTHING about 300 kg tiger from pictures, why you say that here??? It don't have any sense to post that.
Finally, no one is "worried" about 212 kg lions, the point is IF that figure is true or false, and the evidence suggest that is is incorrect, so is false.
About your final questions, you have already answered, so there is no point to repeat it.
