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.

All Asiatic Lion weights I have seen show them to be in the 160kg range. They are smaller in body length and height as well, I believe.
All verified Siberian Tiger weights match up perfectly to what they were during earlier years.
This quote was taken from Peters edge of extinction tiger thread post # 266
~~One can't say the lower average probably is a result of genes when it is known Amur tigers, even without the giants many referred to in the recent past, were 10-15% heavier a century ago (Slaght et al, 2005). A lower average weight (combined with the other factors mentioned above) could be an expression of a structural problem, especially when it is known that 41% of the energetic need of Amur tigers is strongly related to weight.
Chaos, do you think that pckts will be able to admit that he was wrong?
Not likely. lol
