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.

Also she kept the tail length the same and just increased the body length which may or may not be the case.
Joker was measured over curves in his first capture but the method used in his second one was not specified. Lilian told me that they made changes in regards to the people allowed to take measurements to allow only the most experienced to take them. Joker having a very similar BL to the lioness makes complete sense given the similar weight, and the lions are not specified as being taken between pegs either. Joker may have in fact been heavier than the lioness in the absolutes.
He was 100% measured over the curves both times and Lillian was there for both captures as well.
In regards to the Lions, they’re not specified for any protocol but you’d need to know which one was used to accurately compare. Generally speaking, female Lions/Tigers will still be larger in frame but Jaguars dense bodies allows them attain equal weights at times.
