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.

With a total length of 3.5 m and a shoulder height of 1.32 m, definelly it had the size of a huge Cave "lion" from the group fossilis!
It was estimated at 800 lb (363 kg) and as we can see it did not had the large fat layer that the largest captive lions/tigers and ligers normally have. So it was probably a very meager specimen, taking also in count the conditions of the Indian Zoos in those days, specially the Alipore one.
The heaviest Liger ACTUALLY measured by Guinness (2014)
