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.

Sadly that is the new method used by those who measure lions and other predators in Africa. Is an unreliable method, is a big mistake and a return to the old methods to measure the cats over all the ondulations and starting from the base of the incisors!!! A 270 cm lion would become a 290 cm lion easily with this method. I think that the "big" lions from the Hobatore area are been measured in this way. If not, there is no explanation why those males that look "average" in the pictures, latter they look huge in the paper (excluding the weights). Make no sense at all!
