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.

How about this study..
"n testosterone concentrations during and fol-
lowing EE (Fig. 1) were similar (p>0.0S) between
tigers (range, 2.12-2.76 ng/ml), leopards (1.19-2.61
ng/ml), and pumas (1.60-2.46 ng/ml). In contrast,
the mean testosterone levels in cheetahs (0.3 3-0.54
ng/ml) were considerably less (p<O.Ol)."

However, this is based on capitive specimens. But still higher than that observed in wild lions from Serengeti and ngorogoro crater.

 Wild tigers posses much higher level of testosterone than this. As they were said to be having basal Testosterone of 3 folds higher than that of leopards.
