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.

Believe it, it was interesting to see his document. Please see the attached PDF.

Interestingly, the big skull of of 406 mm reported by Patterson in his book of the lions of Tsavo it is from a captive specimen. Also he skull of Rowland Ward of 432 cm is incorretly reported and belongs to the same animal. And last, the wides skulls came from captive specimens. I already reported this in previous posts, from different documents, so this is not news anymore.

In the document Hollister report how the bones of the captive skulls are wider than those of the wild ones, by a significative margin.
