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.

This might sound strange, but just as the heaviest wild tiger on record was a Bengal tiger from north India which was shot by David Hassinger in 1967, and had a weight of 388.7 kg (857 lbs) after eating a mere buffalo calf, without which it might have weighed at least 324 kg (714 lbs), the heaviest wild lion to my knowledge was not a man-eating Transvaal lion from South Africa in 1936 with a weight of 313 kg (690 lbs), but 1 of 2 Tanzanian lions which weighed 700 and 800 pounds (320 and 360 kg) after killing 244 cattle and 3 donkeys at the village of Issuna in the central region of Singida in 1963!
