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.

Peter says: Adult males today average 420-430 pounds, but a century ago they averaged about 475 pounds. Although the lower average today no doubt is a result of the decision to consider a 3-year old tiger as an adult, This has annoyed me for years now! When biologists of a particular location produces an "average weight" for their grizzlies, sub-adult weights are included. Sexually mature does not mean full-grown bears or tigers. I feel certain than when countries give an average size for their men, eleven-year-old boys are not included in the averages. I nearly forgot to mention; I will seek "The Tiger's Claw."
