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.

Intersting take. Larger prey combined with prey density/availability will produce
maximum size. A logical assessment, I do believe.

I would say it will produce big prides composed of relatively bigger lions.

But once again - variability in size among lions seems to be quite low. Some sub-populations are somewhat bigger than other, but the difference is probably not that big like it is among tigers (among bengals you have very small sundarban tigers in contrast to huge north-indian tigers, or among amurs you have quite small korean tigers in contrast to gigantic manchurian tigers). I do belive that it has something to do with the social/solitary lifestyle.

Guate or Peter are more informed on this...
