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.

As far I remember, in the documentary and in the news article he never said anything about the male lions, he only said that the females were as large a "inland males". However it depends of what "inland males" he was refering too. Did he saw other male lions of South Africa or Kenya/Tanzania? Is his average "inland male" of the same size as the figures reported by Dr Craig Packer (about 160 - 170 kg)?
