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.

That is a valid point, but according with the source this was a captive specimen from Pakistan:

As we can see that animal was not a particularly large and healty specimen, that means that the figure of 195 kg for a 3 meters male Mugger maybe an underestimation. Check his photo:

The animal looks normal, although the tail is not as fat as some wild ones that I have saw in pictures, even the one killed by Machli looks larger than this one.
