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.

Fat is still fat man. It clearly states that the fat runs from the ventral of the neck to pelvis. It says 5 inches deep which even when imagined is significant and he also states that it's distinct which means he hasn't seen something on other tigers.

What it clearly states was the wedge isn’t “soft and flabby like seen in zoo animals but a firm ridge 4-5” deep.”


The context you’re trying to use it in is misleading and fat isn’t all the same. A firm ridge isn’t a fat flab.

Rob the Ranger claims Half-Tail is ( or was, he isn't seen in a while ) the biggest male on Mara, though he has not seen the Sankai males in their prime.

MOVING AN ADULT MALE LION 

Here's a link to a video (06:54) that was posted at YouTube yesterday. It shows male lion 'Tembe', who was moved from one private reserve ('Welgevonden Game Reserve') to another.The reason is explained in the video. 

The male (apparently) wasn't measured or weighed, but he's described as tall, long and heavy. The video shows how large a healthy adult male lion really is:

Definitely a big male, just look at the size of those paws, wow! We have recently been having a good conversation about translocation, @Rabubi and myself. I believe this is an example of translocation done properly. Obviously, translocation is always going to have risks, on many levels, but I believe this is one of the better methods, to swap males at the same time. It is vital to refresh the genetics, in these closed reserves, for the conservation of the species.

I totally agree with this being an example of the best-case scenario for translocations. The swap ensures that both reserves receive new blood at the same time and there is little to no risk of male-male conflict over territory. It's a win-win all around.
