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.

Check this new image showing the size of an average male at the east of Africa, together with a set of measurements:
*This image is copyright of its original author
All the measurements and weights came from my summary of data from that area (Valvert, 2015; atttached file), while the chest girths came from all the other sources, specially that of Pfefferle et al. (2007) which present the best set of chest girths from lions in the area. Although the other 4 sources are already included in my document, I did not take in count the chest girths, which now I regret.
The weights don't include the data from Bertram & King (1976) and De Almeida (1990), just the specimens in the tables. Check that I was able to separate the records in dates, just like the images of the tigers, in order to see if some change has been produced.
The next one will be the Southern African lions, stay tuned. [img]images/smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
Awesome yet again, could you do the same comparision to The Tiger as you did with the asiatic lion?
When you get the time, of course.
Thanks again
