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.

To add to my last post, the only way a crane skull can misread, or more specifically give a lesser figure, is if you don't lift the specimen completely off the ground for long enough as the tension in the ropes would be decreases due to the ground's support, known as the normal force (weight of scale = mass animal * gravity acceleration = tension of ropes + normal force). Lifting 200 kg is no easy task for a group of people, especially considering how difficult it is to collectively grip the crane scale and the fact the specimen's body would curve toward the ground, so that is the only place that be an explanation of error. However, we're in no position to give such a verdict one way or the other.
