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 is a common error and there are many hunting reports that include/mistake sub-adult tigers and lions for adults, a two year old tiger/lion is a massive animal but by no means full grown nor sexually mature.

Now I have all these books about tigers and I already read them, a great treasure for tiger litterature. Maybe, in the future, I will put my own review on them.

Now, about this part that I quote, this is a BIG problem in the old records. Many young tigers had been mistaken for adults and that is why the old records are so low.

From my new point of view is a big error to included every single tiger in hunting records without review it. We now have a field guide to age tigers from Dr Jhala and we can use it to judge about the tigers in hunting litterature. We also have the information from young tigers from Nepal. This is problem about "youg-vs-old" was pointed out by Fiona Sunquist in the book "Tiger Moon" but it seems that it has been ignored in the constante debate of "size" issue.
