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.

That is just a youtube video from some random poster, those can´t be taken too seriously.

Indeed,  even the cats are not in correct order in terms of size.

When talking about freak felids, I think that tigers or lions in that category should be at least 250 kg without being obese. Both species can deliver that big individuals, but most are less. But every now and then there are some really big boys. For tigresses and lionesses I think, that should be something like 150-160 kg to earn to be called freak, since it´s here used as positive expression. This is my personal opinion, but I have to say that I´m not too impressed with most of posted tigers and lions in these threads, because many look quite normal sized. Sometimes I have thought, that these "freak felids" threads should be called "handsome big cats" since many are really handsome, but nothing so special in other ways. Tigers and lions are big and looking like it even when average sized.
