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.

New table of Hewett:
Like I say before, these are only “preliminary” tables and are just for database and comparison purposes HERE. Until peter and I could verify the full figures, this will be the data that I will use.

Take in count that I put here the average of the full grow males and that of the >3 years old males. Besides, I add the picture of Hewett, it make it more “official”.
It is good to see that the heaviest male from Hewett (570 lb) is correctly converted to 258.5 kg (Excel® approximation) and not the 258.2 kg erroneous figure of Mazák (1981). It is also interesting that this male was only “less than 2 kg” lighter than the Sauraha male from Nepal, and according with the text of the book, this tiger was not baited, but killed at the moment when he found it.
