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.

I do believe the Asiatic lions were about the same size with the African lion in the past, but it is unlikely they were some kind of goliath that dwarfs those large tiger subspecies.
They were undoubtedly larger in the past, but the tiger was still slightly larger. And the lions were living in pride, that was an important leverage over the tiger.
