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.
Yeah I didn't know he was the same size.
As i do work with a pure wild siberian tigress, and one other, they do not come close to bengals and lionesses, not even close. But only two induviduvals, so maybe someone other tigeress from the wild would be bigger.
My experience with wild one's are 50/50. Maybe leaning slightly towards the lionesses.
But again as with Kaziranga tigress'es being very big, also the lionesses from Okavango is very big, as my dad stated, he said they where the most massive female cats he had ever seen with a good margin!
Would be fun to see a big tigeress from Kaziranga! Maybe they can be as large as those from Okavango!
The interesting thing with lions from Okavango and Tigers from Kaziranga is that both lives in svamp's, and eat's big prey. Lions in Okavango eat's buffalo, elephant and giraffe just rarely letchwe, zebra etc, etc. Some place i read someone describing the lionesses there where as big as male lions elswhere in Africa, but probably an overestimation! But still very big females!
