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 recently ordered two dozen books. Half of it is on Sunda tigers and the other half on Indian tigers. One of the books is the famous book of Smythies ('Big Game Hunting in Nepal'). It's very expensive, but has, as the seller said, " ... lots of dead tigers ... ", meaning a lot of records and weights. In this respect, the book compares to that of the Maharajah of Cooch Behar and Sir John Hewett ('Jungle Trails in Northern India').
Peter, you do it again!!!! You are going to buy the book of Smythies, that is incredible man!!!
I am going to ask you a favor. In order to corroborate my hypothesis (you probably will remember which) , when you have this book, could you please post all available data about the famous record tiger of 705 lb from Nepal? If there is a picture, it will be great too.
Believe me, that tiger is very important for me. [img]images/smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
