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.

My original statement regarded South African lions as a whole, not isolated populations of some specific areas.
That's why I also recalled a 210-215 kg average for Bengal tigers, specifying clearly I was clearly referring to subspecies as a whole because if I was referring to populations only I could have pointed out that there are some isolated populations of Bengal tigers that on average push close to 225-230 kg. 
Nepalese males in guate's sample being an example (excluding the 320 kg tiger that was likely 285-306 kg empty)
