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.

What are the typical skull length and skull width of both wild and captive lionesses? Also, what about their typical shoulder height?

800 pound plus lion, the owner says shoulder height at least 4' which I think is based on google facts and I think it wasn't measured. However, the weight seems legit I think because of his huge bulk with no visible ribs or pelvic area. Can't reveal his name because there will be fans and haters who will crowd the page. Man is 6'5'' in boots.

There's no way this tiger is 700 lbs. 440-470 lb at best. The Amur tiger named Gamin from Marwell, UK is way bigger than this one. Gamin aged 6-8 was weighed by Craig Kennion in circa 2004-06, the weight was 276 kg some hours after feeding 25 kgs of meat, So empty would've been 251 kgs, so a robust and very large tiger.
Kristov, studbook name is Junior is another tiger from Howletts, UK weighed 282 kg fourth day after feeding 25 kgs of meat. 700 lb tiger looks much smaller than the 800 lb plus lion above.
