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's an exceptional specimen. Also, I'd like to see the remaining text but it's not available for me.

There should be many cases of tigers clearly under 3 years old, not only one. That article seemed to be about one tiger being sexually mature a little bit sooner, that usual. When thinking, that article was from 1981 and current information still gives 3-4 years old, I guess, that it can be considered quite ok.
Yeah thanks. Neither of us are doubting information from V Mazak. I'm the one who provided it here, so I have no doubt about that.
And that's what I'm saying. It's a exceptional case, I guess the remaining text also saying the same thing...
